Currently the polls are tied on who is the next president of the United States between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Its hard to say who will get the most votes but at the moment Obama has a slight lead over his Republican adversary. Many people have their opinions on what may happen if either person is elected to office, and one man Rocker Ted Nugent is an unfortunate case of ignorance and misunderstanding. He claims that if Obama is elected he will either be dead or in jail only months after the election. This is among many repeated claims and threats against the government. According to the Constitution we can't arrest him but it wouldn't hurt to put him in a mental hospital right? His statements target the Obama administration in a very vile and crude manner. This is not how a voter should act no matter what his or her view are. Though he supports Romney, his response to Nugent's comments were of "the kind of vile language is not acceptable no matter what side of the political system you are on". At least the Republican candidate wants to have a clean election in that sense.
Though everyone is entitled to freedom of speech it does not show well of Democrats or Republicans if their voters are acting out in this way. It shows little of the American people as well as the party. Unfortunately even after a president elected their will be people on both sides complaining. Its a vicious cycle with no end.
