Jesse Ventura 2016

He was just on Stern, he said he would ONLY run if enough people were in support, so that he could get on the ballot in all 50 states. He's not running.

Jesse Ventura wants a grassroot effort to get him on the 2016 ballot. He will run for President as a complete independent!

He does not want to be in any party. He will run completely independent. He said we need to stop the two party dictatorship!!


He just announced it on Alex Jones show.

I'm relatively certain this is not true.

Now, he's a self-important blowhard, he's a bully, and he's a purveyor of half-truths. I'd still give him my vote, but only because the current paradigm is pretty boring.

If someone like Jim Norton can make him fly off the handle, how is he going to handle the professional news media??? He'd be so far out of his depth to run for President.

This is an awesome point, especially because Norton is an ardent Ron Paul supporter and the jist of that argument was Ventura going absolutely insane over conspiracy theories and freaking out over Norton condoning the attack in Afghanistan.

And, Ventura does say that we need to bring back the draft. Hmmm:

I stand corrected, thank you for that source. Still, I don't think under a Ventura administration a draft would ever be necessary since he is a harsh critic of the wars just as Dr. Paul is.

And? Your post says HE IS running, he is not. He was on Stern After this claiming that Howard would be his Veep...come on. He is not serious, and he continuously stated he would only run if he had enough support to gain ballot access in all 50 states. Says he wanted Howard as his veep so he wouldn't have to spend any money. It's a pipe dream, he knows he is not running.

Yes because George W. "I am the decider" Bush was such a rocket scientist.

He was able to comprehend broad concepts very well, grammar aside. Not to mention graduating from Harvard and Yale, being an oil and baseball businessman, and governor of Texas before becoming President.

Ron Paul doesn't have all of those titles, but if you watch his in depth interviews and lectures he is very intelligent.

I just hear a bunch of anger filled, though mostly right rants from Ventura.
 
I think he supports the draft because he wants people to stand up and oppose the wars. Not a position I'd take, but it is one of those things that could potentially have beneficial results, if it caused people to elect an actual anti-war candidate.

He is articulate, knowledgeable, served as a mayor and a governer as well as being on a Navy tactical team. I disagree with your assessment.

Correct. The whole "Bush was dumb" meme is partisan nonsense. Ron Paul isn't a great speaker, but is higly intelligent.
