I didnt post this so much so because he regrets his vote to Obama. Many people do that. I posted it for what else he said, about getting gov out of our lives, along with the part of he did it to make history.

I for one when I say something about celebs and getting into politics. I dont deny they have the right. I dont think they have to shut up. They are American Citizens and have just as much right to voice their displeasure or pleasure. Its when people worship or idolize someone only because they are a celeb. Like young girls looking up to Paris Hilton and wanting her life of parties and having sex. I think that is poor examples for our children. I think we should be teaching our children to idolize a heart surgeon, or firefighters for examples.

Gene Simmons want's his Obama vote back...but thousands of Kiss fans still want their $15 back for the albums "Music from the Elder" and "Lick it Up".

lol Yeah you keep thinking that. He's just a liar because he is saying something you dont agree with or like? He very well could have not said that and promoted his show.

He doesnt need to kick off to his show. He has some of the most faithful fans there is. I dont get it myself but he does.

At least he's quite honest about the decision being mostly emotional and not rational.

The good news is that they can sell those on E bay and recoup some of their loss.

Recouping the huge loss that is Obama.....not so much

A walking contradiction: On one hand the right bemoan Obama for his "thin resume" then in the next breath they advocate the tea party types because they aren't your everyday garden variety "Washington Insiders."

I have seen his show many times, he does not come across as someone who would not look into a candidate before voting for them. It's a complement really, and as a showman we all know what type of fella he is. Band not doing well, lets put some makeup on and the rest is history.

lol you think hes hurting for money? He cant promote his show without saying what he said?

Can you prove he is a liar? He explained his vote, can you prove he lied about what he said.

Why is it so hard for you believe what he said? A lot of people voted for Obama without knowing much about him.
