Ted Nugent considered as GOP Vice President
by Juliette » Mon May 07, 2012 11:06 pm
With the Romney campaign entering full Vice-Presidential Candidate search mode, our investigative reporting uncovered a document floating a surprising name as a potential candidate: Ted Nugent.
After much snooping, we retrieved a strategic assessment put together by a heavyweight Goldman Sachs PR team, reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of potential Romney running mates. The list was populated with resumes of the usual cast, Christie, Rubio, Jeb Bush, etc. However, towards the end was a brief synopsis evaluating Ted Nugent as a Vice Presidential candidate.
The document noted that a Romney/Nugent ticket was "a long shot" and "posed high risks", however on the positive side, the addition of Nugent to the Romney ticket would "firm up support among the conservative base, ease the concerns of those worried about eroding first and second amendment rights"

Edit 2: A link below suggests this article might be satire, but Google Ted Nugent VP and you will see there are actually people promoting this and they even have a Ted Nugent for President Facebook page with nearly 55,000 likes.

(12,041 posts)9. Google the words Ted Nugent VP
There are people out there actually pushing this idea, whether this particular piece is satire or not it is an absurd idea that the right wingers actually have promoted and it needs to be mocked.
