Author Topic: Jesse Ventura wants to be Ron paul's 2012 running mate (Read 4607 times)

Jesse "The Body" Ventura wants back into the political game, and he's hoping to be Ron Paul's running mate if the libertarian wages an independent bid for president.

While promoting his new book during an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Monday, the former Minnesota governor said that "if Ron Paul runs as an independent, I will give great consideration to being his running mate."

It's not clear that either Paul would run as an independent or that Ventura would be a guy he wants on the ticket, but that didn't stop the former governor from floating himself.

Ventura dedicated “63 Documents the Government Doesn’t Want You to Read,” his latest book, to Paul and believes the Texas congressman is “the only federal elected official who will stand up for America on the congressional floor.”

The former independent governor made clear that his interest in Paul's candidacy stems from his view that the two-party system is broken.
Asked if he'd campaign as a Democrat or Republican, Ventura responded: "Never."

Paul ran as a Republican in 2008, but he ran on the Libertarian Party ticket in 1988.

“I will not be a Democrat or a Republican," Ventura said. "They are the problem, not the solution. We need to abolish political parties in this country."

In all honesty Jesse Ventura has done a lot more for this country than any other of the repub. candidates, excluding Ron Paul. He is not a nut job as the state controlled media would have people believe. He just simply asks tough questions and is against gov't secrecy. All the documents he talks about are real and can be obtained by doing research.

Poor Jesse is nothing more than a cartoon character now. Not sure if it was drugs or what, but he has zero credibility now. $:-\$ I miss the old Jesse.

Dude you might as well as whether I'd vote for Harry Reid. He has about as much chance to be president as Paul/Ventura.

Maybe it's because you run around acting like a kid even though you're a 40+ year old man. I'm sure he's got kids of his own to humor.

Jesse Ventura is a hell of a lot more qualified to be president than Obama. People that instantly label him as a "wingnut" or whatever other name calling are just drones that listen to everything Fox News and the mainstream media tell them.

Ventura is a serious threat to the establishment, that is why the media tries to portray him as a nut and sheeple than aren't capable of critical thinking go along with it because O'Reilly told them to.

It's really not a good question. I've already stated my views on Ron Paul (and you--I think--keep intentionally misstating them). He will never be the Republican nominee. If he was, there is a ZERO percent chance he would ask Jesse Venture to be his running mate. Do you remember the clip below? Why the heck would he ask a person who believes in that nonsense to be his running mate when he asked 9/11 CT nuts to leave him alone?

Paul is on record many times as wanting a new investigation into 9/11. He only tries to avoid 9/11 truth because if he latches onto it the sheeple won't vote for him. He needs to get the nomination, then go for the new investigation.
