And 2008 rock and roll -- in the Gene Simmons voted for President Obama.

Today he says he will vote for Mitt Romney he joins us now from Los Angeles.

Well I just want to correct a a something that's been on the press for a while I am attracted to governor Mitt Romney.

His business side Cuba and his experiences -- -- is very very impressive.

The president I voted for Barack Obama.

Has a very very small -- Blacks or lacked what -- ran against John McCain.

Foreign policy experience to know anybody never run a company.

And I will tell you what happened to me was -- something I believe it's gonna happen across the country in most polls people are gonna go away them and they won't vote their conscience.

Right before they -- awful thing think they're gonna come in with preconceived notions I was gonna vote for John McCain long experience.

Knows how Washington works they war hero understands the economy and so on and so forth qualification.

John McCain hands down.

And when I went into the voting Booth for some reason and I can't explain it I voted for president.

Barack Obama and I will tell you are not happy but I believe that most people my estimation.

This is not -- -- and or anybody else most people in my estimation who voted for our president draw unhappy the polls tell you one thing.

And on the day when people vote their conscience something will happen and when people watch the presidential debates tonight fifty million plus people.

They're going to be listening with Sarah is -- They're not gonna understand a lot of the words that are going by because they're not qualified to understand that they're just gonna say I like what that person set -- the -- said it.

And on the day when -- vote they'll vote their conscience and that's what I'm good -- I believe that you being turned off.

President Obama by his relationship with Israel I think that's the big issue that is -- us.

What that's for that's foolish because you don't have to be a political content or a world class expert in foreign policy if -- not our best friend of the Middle East who is Syria.

Well let me ask you this in 2008.

President Obama got 78%.

Of the Jewish vote.

-- percentage of the Jewish -- you think you'll get this time.

Foolishly I still think that the vote is going to be predominantly for that because historically.

Jews -- vote democratic they forget that.

There was a president whose name was Lincoln.

Who did some pretty -- things.

Look.

That the good the division and of and the diversion -- other big words like gymnasium that separates the two parties.

If I was gonna vote for one person today and -- -- you told -- to make a decision I would vote for Barack.

Romney that's why would vote for.

Because in certain ways our president has the gift of gap of the charisma he looks presidential.

Governor Romney even though he has the -- the experience the resume.

Does -- really -- in my estimation.

People skills and the ability of the sort of expand -- do that.

I gotta get in you've got our -- October effects because -- business line these days is the restaurant business rocketing Beirut rock and -- I should say that's your train.
