Gene Simmons popped up on Fox & Friends to give his stamp of approval for Mitt Romney as America's next president.
Simmons, who supported Barack Obama in 2008, says that he regrets his choice:
"Hindsight is 20/20. I have some real issues with the economy and how it's being done. America should be in business and it should be run by a businessman. Americans, smartly, and I applaud them for doing so, vote on the issues and not the party."
"America is a business. If you can't afford to do something, no matter how much bellyaching everybody does - I'm so sorry, if you can't afford it, you shouldn't do it."
The KISS frontman has been in media blitz mode of late, opening his new miniature golf course/wedding chapel in Vegas, presenting at the ACM awards (at which the group arrived in a monster truck), performing during the NCAA tournament, unveiling new KISS onstage wardrobes and promoting his new chain of restaurants.
