In a statement sent to CNN, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine on Thursday denied endorsing former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum for President of the United States.
Contrary to how some people have interpreted my words, I have not endorsed any presidential candidate, he said. I hope to see a Republican in the White House. Ive seen good qualities in all the candidates but by no means have made my choice yet.
Mustaine told Music Radar on Tuesday that he 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.

Oh and I also saw the Dream Theater - Megadeth tour in '05 - '06 and I kept hearing that people who purchased Dream Theater's "Meet & Greet" packages that when they actually went backstage for autographs, photos, etc, that Mustaine wouldn't even acknowledge their presence.
It's not just his politics that got him kicked out of Metallica.

Slayer still treats their fans right, always have.
