Jesse Ventura?

Thread Rating
5.00 star(s)
I was watching Larry King earlier and they had Jesse Ventura on there. I really knew nothing about the guy before then(besides the fact that he was an Independant and former Governor of MN).

I must say I agree with alot of the stuff he said, especially the part about how the 2 party system doesn't work for everyone, some of us are forced to pick someone who only agrees with some of our beliefs while the other agrees with the rest of our beliefs.

Just wondering what everybody thinks of him, if he's a good guy or if he's just another politician that likes to talk the talk but can't walk the walk.

I saw him on the Colbert Report a while back and agree with what you said completely. Check out his interview...Colbert style takes a little getting used to but it is great satire. :D

Jesse is just a damn fool that fooled the electorate once but, never again. The reason that he did not run for re-election is that he saw the writing on the wall and knew thata he did not have a shot at it.

jesse had a golden opportunity to have been the man who could have taken the independance party to the top and give us a viable third party in this country and he squandered it because in true jess fashion, it has to be all about jesse all of the time. He ain't fit to be a dog catcher.

He is so stupid that when it gets reported that his 21 yr old joke of a movie producer son is holding drunken parties at the Goveners mansion it's the fault of the "media jackals" and not his son's fool behavior that is the problem.

Christ, I'd vote for Obama before I'd vote for jesse and I'd die before I'd vote demonrat.

Hey Coyote,

How about you tell us how you really feel............:eek:
You say he is stupid, but you give him credit for fooling the electorate. Kind of contradicting yourself there, aren't you? As far as his kid having parties......big friggin deal. You never tried to have any fun when you were a kid? As I said earlier, the media needs to report news and not try to make it. It would be impossible to have any big, drunken parties in the governors mansion anyway......last I checked a State Trooper is on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
 
btw - in case you didn't catch him on hannity and colmes the other night... he's also a 9/11 conspiracy theorist... i like his attitude, but he's a bit to much of a loon for me
 
Fox, the boy was having them.

And for smarts, hey GW fooled alot of folks for a second go round too...
 
Drive by post:\
Not saying I like the guy but I admire the fact that he was able to unite both the democrats and the Republican parties against him. He's an eligible candidate who got elected on a campaing fund of something around $300k vs, the 5-7mill the other candidates had. I like the fact that he hasn't been groomed for politics as a career politician bought and paid for by large business. Will he mess up certanly, but also when he does he fights the slander from 2 opposing parties and not just one like a rep or dem would face in similar situations. Right now though this country needs to fix the economy situation with the Greenback, Gas Prices and health care and I don't think Jessie is our guy. Maybe the next go around he'd be the guy to go in and clean house and stick a pitch fork up the lobbyists rear end. I don't think you would worry to much about him being a lame duck. I think any oppposition from Congress from bought votes he would destroy politician careers real fast even if it meant his own he would get alot of these bought and paid for politicains out relativly quickly.
 
I am definitely not defending him, but compared to other politicians you can consider him a saint. What is worse, his kid having parties in the governors mansion, or a crooked politician selling out to Lobbyists to make large corporations even more rich and powerful? Who do you think is giving Obama, Hillary, and McCain money for their campains, and when one is elected they will have no choice but to return the "favor" to those donors. As far as his conspiracy theories go(I mentioned it earlier), he is promoting his new book and I am sure it is helping his book sales.
 
It's not just the fact that his dumb kid was having parties, it's the fact that in true liberal fashion jesse the turd blames the media instead of his fool kid. kinda like hilary clintoon blaming the vast right wing conspiracy for sticking bills weenie in monica's **** cavity. If jesse's fool child wants to have a party then let him have it at his daddy's place in Maple Grove. heck, mama G's is just down the road if they run out of booze.

Besides that, jesse left this state in a huge deficit situation when jesse the fool left office. And of course his legacy of silly little choo choo's is going to continue to suck up tax dollars into eternity.
 
Yeah he did the vehicle registration thing which is OK if you drive a vehicle that cost 50K or trade in for new every 3 years. It bites the average guy in the *** as your paying $105 across the board until the vehicle is like 10 years old then it drops to 38.50. Pissed me off when I bought a ranger that when new was 15K and after 3 years under the old system would have been down to the 38.50 tags. Instead I paid 105 for all 7 years I owned it and got a whopping $2500 out of it when I upgraded. It looked good at first but sucked hard in the long run.

Tabs should be the same for everybody. This is a use tax, not an income tax. Just because someone chooses to drive a Hummer over a 20 year old VW Rabbit, they should not pay more for tabs. The Hummer does not beat up on the roads anymore than the Rabbit does.

Jesse had this changed for the better. It is a fair tax now, was not then........
 
Didnt he run the Chaingun in the movie "Predetor" with ALLLLNOOOLD? :)

seems like an okay guy to me
