Mr. American Badass, of the state of Michigan, is contemplating a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Debbie Stabenow, who's up for reelection in 2018. The hopeful "Senator Kid Rock" would run as a Republican, that much is certain, given his past statements on various positions and his past endorsement of Mitt Romney in 2012 and other utterances he's made since. He also counts himself a friend of Donald Trump.
Rolling Stone magazine breaks down where he's at on various issues. Other than that I find this whole thing entertaining -- because Kid Rock is first and foremost a GREAT entertainer and musician -- I have no opinions on the matter and I'm staying away from politics. Even the stuff as funny as this would be. I also had no idea he was an ordained minister. So you-all get to discuss religion AND politics on this one, both of which seem to still be staples of the Lavender Room Lifestyle(tm). ;-)
On Gun Control
“Getting rid of them is not the answer. The guy who got Osama bin Laden was on Fox News. His daddy raised him in Montana, hunting, fishing. He got it from hunting. What that kid knows is fucking valuable. Shooting 200 yards is hard. To be able to make 1,000-yard shots? I’m glad we have some people like that on our side.” – Rolling Stone, February 2015
On Gay Marriage and Abortion
“I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues. I am no fan of abortion, but it’s not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister I don’t look forward to marrying gay people, but I’m not opposed to it.” – The Guardian, January 2015

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."
