WASHINGTON -- Despite calling the president a "sub-human mongrel" last month, rocker Ted Nugent hasn't lost support among Republican allies in Texas.Sid Miller, a candidate for Agriculture Commissioner, stands behind Nugent, who serves as the campaign's treasurer and co-chairman."We are not going to do anything to distance ourselves from Ted Nugent," said Todd Smith, a Miller spokesman and strategist. "If we had concerns about some of the things that Mr. Nugent has said or done, we wouldn't have reached out to him and asked him to become involved in our campaign on such a high level."Smith added that while Miller might not "use those same words to describe the president of the United States," he and Nugent share a "mutual disdain" for Obama's policies. “Ted Nugent and Sid Miller are standing in solidarity in opposing Barack Obama and the things that he is doing to impede our freedoms and harm Texas and our nation as a whole,” he said.Nugent signed on with the Miller campaign in October , and has been active on social media touting his support. The campaign's home page is adorned with a quote from the rocker and a video announcing the endorsement. Attorney General Greg Abbott caught flack Tuesday for campaigning with "The Motor City Madman," in light of the "sub-human mongrel" comments from a January interview with Guns.com . Abbott's staff said that Nugent doesn't always make statements that Abbott agrees with.Texas Democrats piled on, painting the appearance as an implicit endorsement.Nugent is no stranger to polarizing comments. He's repeatedly used derogatory remarks to refer to Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.But he's still been greeted with open arms by numerous campaigns. During this election cycle, he's raised money for Tom Tancredo, a candidate for governor in Colorado, and Bob Barr, who is running for the U.S. House in Georgia. Both are former congressmen.Nugent accompanied Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Clear Lake, to the 2013 State of the Union address, though he's remained neutral in Stockman's primary race against Sen. John Cornyn.He's been a vocal supporter of Gov. Rick Perry, performing at his inauguration ball in 2007.
