Jesse Ventura: Sarah Palin Is 'A Quitter,' 'Unqualified'
The Huffington Post | Nick Wing First Posted: 10-16-10 01:37 AM | Updated: 10-16-10 01:49 PM

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura had harsh words for his fellow former Governor Sarah Palin recently, when he called her an "unqualified" "quitter" who had "screw[ed] the people of Alaska."
Talking to Fancast, the one-time professional wrestler and Independent-turned-conspiracy-theorist said that Sarah Palin was the reason he couldn't get behind the Tea Party movement.
"Anybody that would put Sarah Palin to the top of their list will never get me," Ventura told Fancast about the former vice presidential candidate. "She's a quitter...She quit in the middle of her term. That's the contract you have with the voters."
Ventura was then asked about his opinions about her political career before she decided to resign the governorship last summer:
"I felt she was completely unqualified. I had more qualifications than she did. I had served as a mayor of a town [Brooklyn Park, Minn.] of 60,000 - hers [Wasilla, Alaska] was 10,000. I had served as governor for two years when everybody wanted me to run for president in 2000, and I said I'm not prepared to be the president. I haven't even completed office as a governor yet. Now, she never completed her office as governor. She didn't even get two years in hardly! And she quit to get money. Jesus, how do people not see that! She saw greener pastures, said, Screw the people of Alaska, and went on to collect.
Though such harsh criticism of Palin would be atypical for most conservatives, Ventura has shown that he's not afraid to go against the grain of his former party.
Ventura vehemently railed against waterboarding in 2009, calling it torture and going as far as to say he would exact the practice on former Vice President Dick Cheney.
He also traded barbs with Sean Hannity on the issue, and claimed that he would get him to say "Barack Obama is the greatest president" given a chance to waterboard him.
The former governor also once called George W. Bush the "worst president in my lifetime," though Ventura's firm belief that 9/11 was an inside job could probably have something to do with that.

The king of the slow talkers.He must be related to John Conyers and whats with the shaking all the time.Go back to wrestling Jesse.Cool hair as well,sorry Hogan already sports that style,come up with your own loser.
-
The only thing you can come up with is to make fun of his looks and obvious medical problem. He came before Hogan, doesn't like Hogan, and speaks valid points. He's not afraid to speak what he thinks. Sarah Palin resigned because of her ethics problems and also to line her pockets. Ventura is exactly right about political parties.

Ventura is a dunce and a Superstar Billy Graham knockoff[a very very poor one at that].His claim to fame is being a wrestling announcer,not even a wrestler.His points are stupid.He is a CT kook,a very poor governor and a super lib who has proven to be 100% wrong in everything he predicted about Obama.Palin will be around far longer then him and have 10 times the power he has.

If your right about Palin, we're in a sad state. I'm late, I have to go get witchcraft exorcised from me, by a Kenyan witchdoctor.

Here is my take on Palin v. Obama and why I still prefer Palin to Obama. Palin loves the country - Obama hates it.
________________________ ________________________ __
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero quotes (Ancient Roman Lawyer, Writer, Scholar, Orator and Statesman, 106 BC-43 BC)

We certainly are in a sad state,we have a marxist muslim as our president who has a goal of destroying the nation.

Billy would curse his own mother if she said something bad about his "hero" palin.
Poor photo shop.But Im not that big a fan of Palin.But I hate Ventura.The guy is a fool.The people I like in politics are Ron Paul,Pat Buchannon,Paul Ryan,Bachman.Palin is fine,but Im no huge fan.
By the way,I only have two heros.One is SABU and the other is Chuck Vogelpohl.

I saw Chuck in Cleveland a couple years ago hanging out with some hookers at a club.

Jesse is more libertarian than liberal.

Very well stated. You know, I dont agree with the tea party about everthing, but overall they are a positive force for this country. And they have made a bigger change than any stupid third party retard. How dare he slam the tea party like that. The tea party has already accomplished more than that the quack Ross Perot ever did. The teaparty did a very intelligent thing. They could have tried to form a third political party, but instead they did it the right way and infiltrated the party they agreed with most (The Republican Party) , and took over atleast a part of it. And for that, I tip my hat off to them.

The same Ventura who supported and continues to support Imam Obama.Not much credibility there Id say.

When he was voted in as Governor, ...he didn't quit halfway through his term.
I'd say that gives him plenty of latitude to comment. I just wish he'd run for President already!

I give Jesse a ton of credit since he was a Navy Seal. I don't agree with him a lot of stuff, but for being a Seal, damn - that is bad ass.

I give him a ton of credit simply for speaking his mind and telling it like it is. That's very rare in politicians.

Jesse is an attention grabber. He knew this would get a bunch of coverage. I have a ton of respect for him in some ways, but in others he's a bit of a blowhard.

Here is the problem - you can't support Obama and bash Palin at the same time with an ounce of credibility. Everything they trash Palin about can equally be countered by something so obscene or ludicrous about Obama. And now - it has less and less effect seeing the results of Messiahs' policies.
This is why the bash Palin efforts by obamabots no longer work.

Perhaps he is a bit of a blowhard, ...but you can't deny the fact that he's earned the right to be.
When it comes to ex-governors popping up in the news, ...I'd much rather see Ventura, over a Palin or Spitzer any day of the week.

He is wrong on most issues is a CT nut job and supports Imam Obama.That eliminates him from any serious discussion.Hey,want to compare his book sales or his ratings to Palins?Run for president?He wouldnt get 2% of the vote.
-

ehhhh
you are saying if Ventura was the GOP nominee, obama would get 98% of the vote?
LOL... Ventura would DESTROY obama. Ventura gave all his campaign speeches from memory - the dude just spoke right to people. And yes, more ppl here are CTers on some level. 911 stinks like shit, we all know it. WMD? A big lie to get us in there. healthcare? We all know what that is, dont we?
Ventura has the balls to say what the others will not, but they're all thinking it.
he'd whoop obama. But no, you GOPers go ahead and put up Palin/Scott Brown in 2012, giftwrap another 4 years of obama reign.

Were the people of Minnesotta even happy with Jesse as governor?

Like i said - i have a special place for Navy Seals, combat vets, and people who served this nation.
as for his stance on Palin - I don't care. I like her, support her, and greatly admire the job she is doing rallying the troops against the Obama Admn.

Ventura needs to run in 2012 in order to prevent Obama from getting another 4 years.
If Obama gets re-elected in 2012, 333386 is gonna pull out his guns, ...and blow his own brains out, :o
...and I'm just starting to like him. Ya, ...the little bugger has been growin' on me. :D
Oh but can you imagine 333's reaction if Obama got another 4 yrs?
I'm laughing so hard just picturing the conniption he'd have, ...I can't hardly type straight. ;D

I won't feel as bad if obama wins but is constrained a GOP congress and acts like Clinton did with Newt.
If its the Reid/Pelosi/Obama trifecta for 6 more years - alaska here I come. ;D

Respect his service, loved him in Predator (one of the all time great movie lines), and liked his run for governor.
Now he's morphed into a screwball. :-\

Your ignorance knows no bounds.Ventura is a lib!!!He supports Imam Obama.He isnt even close to a republican he is a liberal on the economy and a libertarian on social issues but he is not a conservative or a republican.
He wouldnt get 1% of the vote in a republican primary.He would get crushed.He spoke from his heart but is wrong on every issue.Funny that you praise him for speaking from his heart with no notes but with Rush Limbaugh ,who does the same thing and 100 times better,you insult him.
Im begging you,stick to your democrat party.You are whats wrong with the republican party.YOU have defended health care on here 100 times ,guranteeing the public will love it and democrats will be running on it.YOU have defended the failed stimulus plan over and over again.Republicans and conservatives hold Obama in utter disdain,you defend him.YOU are the original rino of go along get along.We want Obama stopped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS-To quote you he is also bald and ugly and shakey like a mental patient.The only ones who like him are CT KOOKS,PROVEN BY HIS BOOK SALES AND TV RATINGS FOR HIS SHOW!
-
Ventura would destroy Obama? lol No way a 911 CT nut will ever be a legitimate presidential candidate. Never.

Fuck you Billy, Jesse served in the Navy as a seal unlike you who is just a pussy ass keyboard warrior.
Go suck on Bush the deserters dick you are not worthy to speech shit on this guy.
Speaking like that of a veteran who has protected this country, just because you have different political views. You should be ashamed of yourself.
What the fuck is this country coming too?

So let me get this straight.Ventura served in the military and cant be knocked for his political policies.Is that your point?So then I assume you voted for both Bob Dole and George Bush senior when they ran against Clinton.Both of them were war heroes and Clinton was protesting the war on foreign soil.So obviously you voted for and campaigned for both men.
I assume you also voted for John McCain who was held captive in Vietnam while Barrack Hussein Obama spent his youth hanging around domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers.Here is my bet.You didnt vote for any of those guys and all three served and were far more heroic then Ventura.
Ventura is a turd.He sucked as a pro wrestler,sucked as a governor and sucks on his failed tv show on conspiracy theories.He is a shakey dunce with a bad haircut.
Now,in the future,when guys like 240 or the other libs on here knock John McCain I fully expect you to immeadiately come to his defense as he was a war hero and since we are not allowed to knock those that serve I expect you to be the watch dog of such attacks.
To Blacken,Im not a tough guy,but I could beat the black off of you.EVERYTHING I ever said I do has been proven by me right here.Can we say the same for you?Can you back up your boasts?
