Dave Mustaine Endorses Rick Santorum

Posted by on Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 11:15 AM

Stupid ass! On the eve of Megadeth's Seattle concert too.

Most disturbing: "Earlier in the election, I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable."

So I guess you'll be okay when dude's president, and if the unfortunate and extreme case that your daughter is raped by a homicidal lunatic, you'll force her, Electra, to have the baby and love her little horrible gift from God for the rest of her living life.

That's sick and gross, Mr. Mustaine. Read the full interview on Music Radar.


"I'm just hoping that whatever is in the White House next year is a Republican. I can't bear to watch what's happened to our great country. Everybody's got their head in the sand. Everybody in the industry is like, 'Oh, Obama's doing such a great job...' I don't think so. Not from what I see.

"Looking at the Republican candidates, I've got to tell you, I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney's five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money? So there's some questions there. And watching Newt Gingrich, I was pretty excited for a while, but now he's just gone back to being that person that everybody said he was – that angry little man. I still like him, but I don't think I'd vote for him.

"Ron Paul… you know, I heard somebody say he was like insecticide – 98 percent of it's inert gases, but it's the two percent that's left that will kill you. What that means is that he'll make total sense for a while, and then he'll say something so way out that it negates everything else. I like the guy because he knows how to excite the youth of America and fill them in on some things. But when he says that we're like the Taliban… I'm sorry, Congressman Paul, but I'm nothing like the Taliban.

"Earlier in the election, I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable. Also, just watching how he hasn't gotten into doing these horrible, horrible attack ads like Mitt Romney's done against Newt Gingrich, and then the volume at which Newt has gone back at Romney… You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I'm hoping that if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House... and that it's Rick Santorum."

Mustaine vs. Kid With Lazer (start @ 1:03 mark):

I think he forgot "mommy's allowance" paid for all those "virgins" to come to his $hows in the first place

What's getting less press is that in return for the Heavy Metal Endorsement, Santorum has promised to legally change his name to Säntörüm, and to appoint Rob Halford as ambassador to the Vatican.

Well, might as will post it here too. This is my definition of "mustaine":

Mustaine: The stubborn remnants of santorum that remain on your sheets after laundering.

Elsewhere it appears that he is not 'endorsing' Santorum...He just opposes gay marriage. To me that is 1000x worse.

In a world where attention is currency, it seems like we ought to develope a very real way to punish people for being fucking morons for the sake of garnering eyeballs and traffic. Honestly, when was the last time this mouthbreather so much as crossed your mind?

Wait have you guys missed the fact that Mustaine is a right-wing nutjob? He's been one for quite a while too...

Personally I would love having the openly gay leatherman Rob Halford as ... well as anything in the Vatican.
