Vice President Ventura?

I would vote for Jesse Ventura on any ticket but not if he runs with Ron Paul.

I totally agree with you Mr Ventura. The party system is archaic, chaotic, and impedes democracy in this Nation. It has to go. I’ll vote for you and Mr Paul. I like both platforms.

Because he’s at least telling what he believes to be the truth? 99.99% of politicians tell us what they think will get them elected.
I’d take an honest, misguided man over a lying politician any day.

Jesse Ventura WAS NOT A NAVY SEAL! NOR WAS HE EVEN IN COMBAT. A phony, left winged kook.

I’ll vote for Jesse Ventura only if he’s on the same ticket with Exidor Emperor of the Earth.
Jesse is a Loon!

We already have clowns – don’t need two more.
Ron Paul has one or two good ideas but he rest – we don’t need him and he will get Obama elected if he actaully runs.

I’ll NEVER vote for another lying “ESTABLISHMENT” candidate from either party so if they run as INDEPENDENTS, they’ll have my strong support.

A) Whoever said that Jesse Ventura was “not a Navy SEAL” is simply wrong. You can read all about his experience in his autobiography (which is an interesting read).
B) That said, the farther away from political power he is, the better. He’s a 9/11 Truther, for crying out loud.
C) I’m ambivalent about Ron Paul — but I have become quite enamored of his son, Sen. Rand Paul. We need more like him.

It’s just too bad soo many of you are still clinging to your political parties like a baby and their ‘Blankie’ How many times must you be let down before you start to vote with your mind versus rooting for you favorite party like they’re a football team. This is our country damnit and people need to start waking up. Jesse and Alex Jones are a good start for anyone.

I will already vote for Ron Paul outright… if Jesse steps up to bat with Mr. Paul… I will be the first in line at the voting booth. I say YES to both of them.

Amen brother, someone’s gotta stand up for our republic.

Jesse is TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!!!
I didn’t want to believe the EVILS of my government until I researched http://www.patriotsquestion911.com while my son was flying 50+ F-16 combat missions in the Middle East.
GOD BLESS AMERICA – we certainly need it!

Jesse, get back on the bus, go home to your grandchildren, you’re already an embarrassment to the morons that elected you in the first place. You fifteen minutes is LONG OVER, just like your “wrestling career”, buffoon.

NOOOOO, Ron! NOOOOO! Any credibility the media will permit you to have will vanish in an instant.

Paul and Ventura! Great idea. That way no one will confuse them with the serious candidates. Kucinich can be Secretary of State and Daffy Duck can be Attorney General.

I don’t care what his biography says…Ventura was no S.E.A.L. UDT but not SEAL, which makes him a lying wannabee.
Don’t worry…nobody with 1/2 a brain would put that dork on their ticket as anything.

Ventura believes that 9/11 was an inside job. Enough said. Next!

This is an obvious attempt on the part of ABC “news” to stain Ron Paul by association with nutty Jesse, who will never be asked by Paul to run with him even if Paul decides to run again. Cheap political trick, as usual.

ask the victims families of 9/11 what they believe…also ask the first responders then get back to me. It’s like the truth makes SOME people afraid. I can understand, they are conditioned to be that way.

Haha… I love Ron Paul. If he wants to guarantee that I will not vote for him, put this idiot on the ticket. I’d rather Hillary Clinton were his VP choice than this idiot.

I think Carl Weathers should run. After all, he was in “Predator” also. Why should Jesse and Arnold have all the glory?

Why don’t the truthers ever consider that, even if there were explosives, that maybe the explosives could have been put there by the bad guys? They tried that before, after all.

I’ll second Solomon’s suggestion: Ron Paul with fellow Contitutionalist, Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Ron Paul will run as a Republican. Jesse will not be asked to be his VP. I didn’t vote for RP last time, but I will this time. Jesse is correct that RP “… will stand up for America …,” and protect the Constitution from enemies domestic, the most numerous and dangerous kind.

Obama is 2nd to last person i would vote for, Ventura is the absolute LAST that i would vote for…. he’s a blidering idiot of the highest magnitude…. i can’t even imagine Ron Paul wanting to be in the same city with this idiot…….

He was NOT a Navy SEAL. He was an EOD diver. AFTER his discharge, the EOD function was absorbed by the SEALs. This is equivalent to a WW1 biplane pilot saying he was a jet pilot because navy planes are now jets. They weren’t jets at the time and EOD was not SEAL.

IM FOR ANYONE THAT BELIEVES IN AND WILL STAND UP FOR THE CONSTITUTION! IM TIRED OF THE ‘SELLOUTS” “RIPOFF ARTIST” “THIEVES” “SOCIALIST” AND COMMUNIST IN OUR AMERICAN OFFICES! TREETING US LIKE WE BELONG TO THEM. WHEN THEY WORK FOR US. IM FOR ANYONE WITH BALLS ENOUGH TO STAND AND TAKE AMERICA BACK. I WILL FOLLOW THEM TO HELL AND BACK IF NEED BE!!!

Why are so many people here bashing Jesse Ventura with things like “he’s a bafoon”, “he’s no navy seal”, “go back to wrestling” but no one argues his political points except for “he’s a 9/11 truther for crying out loud”. I wasted my time reading you people’s worthless ranting. If you don’t want Ron Paul/Jesse Venture, give reasons why based off political views, and lay off the ad hominem (most of you seem really stupid, by the way).

Why oh why would Jesse do this to Mr. Paul. I enjoy Jesse as VP would make Joe Biden look like Bill Crystol.

i have to work just to make ends meet. i dont have time to keep track of all or any polotition, so i get easily fooled by the (so called leeders of america) I too am hopeing for someone that believes in and stands up for the constitution. my wife and i works our as__ off just to pay the bills, and thats the way our (LEEDERS) like it becouse we stay to busy to worry about them. and that makes us gullible to the thievery of our freedoms and way of life. we are hopeing we do not make another mistake like this administation has become. HOPEING for a true leeder!

That would be tolerable.
Especially to Sarah, since the discovery of a new species might indicate that males are becoming extinct.

I can’t believe you wasted your time putting this article together. Why aren’t you writing about what is going wrong with Libya? Why there hasn’t been a budget all year? Why Obama created a health care package and then gave all his friends a waiver from it? I just can’t believe the waste of time.

Ron Paul and Ventura on the same ticket, that would be awesome… Ventura has educated himself alot since being governor, this time around in Politics he would make a much bigger splash and be twice as effective… anyone who still believes in the Rinos and Donkeys needs to get their IQ checked

Run Trump Run!

I like Trump as well

What do the following have in common?
220+ Senior Military, Intelligence Service, Law Enforcement, and Government Officials
1,400+ Engineers and Architects
250+ Pilots and Aviation Professionals
400+ Professors Question 9/11
300+ 9/11 Survivors and Family Members

they inclode former VP Mondale; Senators Chafee, Kerry, Leahy; Astronaut Edgar Mitchell; Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark; Wesley Clark; Reagan’s Ass’t Sec. Paul Craig Roberts; Members of the Parliaments of Britain, Japan, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand etc.
They are all TRUTHERS and demand a re- investigation of 911 or outright state that 911 was an INSIDE JOB or the US permitted it to happen. I inviste you to go to
and see for yourself!

Jesse Ventura is a nit-wit. Anybody who chooses him as a running mate will give me serious doubt as to their wisdom and will NOT get my vote.

Giddy up. Here comes Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I’ll vote for anyone who removes Lobbists and their money from the political system. A billion dollars for campaign election money, insane. Its not the typical American who speaks for the US anymore but Special Interests.

That’s just what we need. A conspiracy nut with delusions of grandeur paired up with a guy who’s right on the economy, but doesn’t seem to grasp that we do need like-minded foreign alliances. I won’t vote for either one unless it’s Obama or them. God save us from having to make that choice.

Ron Paul isn’t that stupid…..

It is hard to believe there are some many sheeple commenting. Wake up! Our country is broken, probably beyond repair. If you want to hasten, what probably is inevitable, keep voting Dem or Rep. By the way, remember this, you can vote for anyone you want in this country, just as long as it’s one of the two guys they pick for us.

I would never support Venture for anything beyond dog catcher. He is a blow hard who thinks because he was a wrestling star he is now able to do anything. Jessie retire to a quit area in the mountains so we don’t have to listen to you any more.

It is not as hard to believe 9/11 was an inside job as it use to be. I mean we are not arming the rebels in Libya. Supposedly they are the same group that committed the attacks on 9/11. If it wasn’t an inside job why are we now teaming up with the same group that carried out the attacks? ventura speaks some truth.

I would like to see Donald Trump/Don King in 2012

It would be so nice if posters would read their own post before commenting.
One poster mentions research and cites ONE source … another wants to abolish parties for democracy (political parties are democracy meaning MOB RULE … the mob with the most votes wins) … Ron Paul = nice guy, but there simply to draw votes away from Conservatives (kinda like what Ross Perot did to elect Clinton).
MY POINT: THINK PEOPLE, THINK!
Read between the lines … don’t drink the Kool-Aid!

Libertarians aren’t practical people, but I’m so tired of the corporatists in both major parties, that I might go there just as a message to them. I thought Ventura looked like a nut as governor, but maybe that was because he got railroaded. Fact is, his tv program is very provocative, and 911 WAS an inside job, and I admire him for backing that tough stance, and other positions against the Chinese etc. I’m an Obama liberal that just might vote for this ticket, but libertarians need to grow up about domestic spending, because this country needs it. What it doesnt need are foreign wars and open markets.

Mean Gene as press secretary would be unstoppable!

Jesse is full of baloney! Backman and Palin are both good women candidates and he sure is not. Paul is a nice man but too old to get elected. It is sad but Ron Paul looks old and millions of idiots will not vote for him for that very reason. Trump with one of the women as VP is the only ticket that can beat Obama so get on board or else prepare for Obama dictatorship for years to come.

If Gary Johnson doesn’t run with Ron then I’ll take Jesse Ventura.
PAUL/JOHNSON 2012

I voted for Ron Paul in the Iowa caucus but would not do so again if Ventura is his running mate. Hopefully, Paul has a bit more going for him than associating with this guy.

I bet Jesse Ventura voted for Barack Obama. That disqualifies him right there….for having such bad judgement!

911 was definetly let too/ assisted too happen you not need to be out there to figure that out

Look past the two party system because it’s all controlled opposition. There are a couple good ones but the rest are rotten, globalist eggs. Ron Paul 2012!!!

Jesse Ventura was elected as governor of the state of Minnesota. That alone is qualification for running. He served honorably in the service and all you morons who try and belittle his service show you are trolls. Anyone who is for transparency, for the people and who is honest should garner your vote if you care about your country. You do not have to agree with everything any person says and it would be lunacy if you did but if that person works for the people and in their interest than what more could anyone true patriot want? People need to start getting educated and quit voting based on propoganda that serves the interest of multinationals that do not care anything for the people, jobs, health insurance, etc.

Ron Paul and Gov. Ventura will bring REAL hope and change. End the Fed NOW.

We don’t have a two-party system. We have a one-party system and it’s referred to as the left-wing-media.

Man… nothing but ignorant post after ignorant post. Ventura is a LIBERAL… He talks a big game but he LOADED his cabinet with liberals… AND governed as one. So if you think this moron has one iota of independent in him, you’re clueless. He talks like he doesn’t like government intrusion, but he added layers of it in Minnesota.
Ron Paul would never consider him anyway. Ron Paul knows government destroys most of what it touches.

That guy took way too many body slams to the mat! If the Republicans and independents want to be 100% of Obama in for a 2nd term – here it is!!!!

Jesse is a certified space cadet.. part of the tinfoil hat crowd. Someone, and I don’t remember who,said recently that 10% of American’s have a mental disorder. I think that the number is much higher. After all, almost half are democrats, so that alone skews the percentage much higher. Jesse is a 911 truther? I didn’t know that but it doesn’t surprise me; he hosts a whacked out conspiracy TV show, ergo he is a few crayons short of a full box of crayolas. The political scene is this country has become a Jerry Springer marathon. God help us all…. execept for the atheists.

Your wondering who the heck Jim Janos is? Go ahead and “google” pro wrestlers real names. Jesse “the body” ( thank god for steroids)Ventura’s real name IS James Janos.

I like Jessie Ventura. But that doesn’t make him any less INSANE and disgusting for repeating the fanatical “truther” lies about 9/11.
“Truthers” are scum.

Rep. Bachman is surely grateful not to get his endorsement.

Just a little problem: Ron Paul would not put such a nutcase as Jesse Ventura on his ticket.

The two party system has duped everyone! Get it togeather people we have to come togeather on something. Just look at this comment board and it seems like there is no hope. I am ready for alot of folks on here to just shut their mouths already. Damn commies!!!

No dear……….its going to be the biggest bust in American History this election will be a landslide for the republicans.

Oh please, Ventura, get over yourself. You are no Independent and not indicative of that group. Most of them are level-headed and logical — you’re a whack job. And Ron Paul would never ask you as his running mate

Ventura is nuttier than Ron Paul. And that is pretty nutty.
“Truthers” are delusional.

Stephen, so you say if they run as independents they’ll have your support. Like so many politicans the minute we elect some of them after millions of people give money and time to try to get them elected and a half year later they jump ship. I’m through with both parties and don’t see to many promising independents neither.

If America doesn’t vote for Ron Paul then you’ll all be doomed (and bring the rest of the world down with you). For the past 12 years Ron’s been saying the same thing and been ignored the entire time – now look where you’re at!
If you vote for Ron and Jesse at the very least you’d get your freedom and privacy back. Otherwise, feel free to vote for Obama again.

I’d vote for Jesse and Ron in a heart beat. So would most of America if they could just get through all the BS in the media today. These guys could actually save this country from the stupidity and fiscal irresponsibility going on now

I consider Ron Paul a serious man. I consider Jesse Ventura and entertainer.

Anyone other than BHO would be fine with me. Even Hillary! I would support Ron Paul or Rand Paul – either one could do better than the clowns running the show right now.

Ron Paul has some good ideas, Jesse Ventura, not so much. Conspiracy nut more like. It would be a demorats wet dream if these two run. The vote will be split, and the socialists will remain in power…

Why would anyone even bother talking to this delusional moron? He has sucked at everything he has ever tried.

I’m from Minnesota, and I’ll tell you while Jesse claimed to be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal, once he got in the governors office he spent money very freely. The only reason he got elected is the DFL and GOP put up two terrible candidates. His election was a vote for None Of The Above. As the man one heartbeat away from the oval office? No Thanks!

Bravo Jessie for speaking truth to power. There is no question 9/11 was an inside job. Anyone who cares to research the subject will come away with the same conclusion. You have always been a true patriot as far as I can tell. Run Jessie, run.

Hang it up Jesse, you’ve had your 15 minutes and now your a has-been.

Any publicity is good publicity when you’ve been on the down low as long as Jesse has been. He isn’t serious, he just may have a new movie, book, tv show or some other enterprise in the works and needs to get his name out there. Jesse has always been a promoter. He was a terrible Governor in Minnesota and isn’t cut out for high level politics. He should focus on make-believe and make “Running Man 2″ or is it 3?

The Illuminati controls all the political parties. Wake up you morons.

The comments posted here are all over the map for a Paul/Ventura run. Seems as though the main difference between the pros and cons: those who know the truth about our govt. and the two-party system, and those who don’t. I’m hoping that both Jesse Ventura and Rep. Ron Paul run.

The Governor and Mr. Paul have my whole families vote. It’s about damn time we really get some change that matters. These two can’t be bought off like all the other prostitutes.
They’ve already said that they would like to get rid of everyone in there on both the Left and Right, since it was their corrupt greed that got us into this financial mess.
Want real change Vote this ticket. My whole family already said they would and I would too.

Now THAT would be real “Change” … a Ron Paul/Jesse Ventura ticket with Judge Nap in the wings to replace Holder.
Any American who is not outraged right now is not paying attention to facts and history. How many ways do you need to be raped before saying “no”? Between politicians, bankers and corporations … make that ‘gang banged’ instead of just ‘raped’.

30% of all voters are smart, informed and vote for the best candidate. In a 3 party race these guys could easily pull the needed 34% to win. The only option for the criminal left and right is to rig the voting machines again. Paul/Ventura 2012…our stock would soar around the world, no wars, fiscal and monetary responsibility, the rule of law re-established, it’s a beautiful ticket. Jesse was an excellent gov and needs to answer to nobody about integrity.

20% OF Americans love Ron Paul, 15% love Jesse. In a 3 way race, that’s 35% and enough to win. The left and right coneheads, just like the mob that protects their illegal activities, will protect their stake and turn against them. Obama, Newt, Romney and the rest are all corrupt scumbags. People are fed up and scared, they could win.

that’s what we need, TWO wingnut conspiritists running as outsiders to drain the votes away from a REAL contender. Now we will have 4 more yrs of Marxist rule and destruction. Say good-by to America and a good way of life as the leeches and handout wanters bleed us, U.S., dry.

Cheesy actors becoming cheesy politicians. We don’t need this.
Jesse, go home and take Ahhnold with you!

He’s got my vote, as well as the votes of many others I know. More power to you, Jesse!

Why would Ron Paul ask this goon to run with him? Isn’t he into Conspiracy theories lol I was thinking Paul/Trump had a nice ring to it?

Any President that triples the debt in thier first term should automatically be disqualified to run for a second term. Please tell me this? How can anyone vote for a President that triples the debt in thier first term? How can they? And don’t tell me about Bush. I am tired of hearing about the past. We need someone that will give us a future, not “Hope and Change”. The Change we can’t live with and hope won’t get it done. I don’t think people understand how close we are to being another “Greece”

Here’s a pop-quiz for all you civic-minded citizens: how many branches of government are there? Some of the more learned ones among you might reply “three: legislative, executive, and judicial.” But you would still be wrong. And no, the answer is not four: the States. Although technically (and Constitutionally) correct, at this point in time, there are only two branches of government, and my good good fiend Chuck Schumer confirmed this all for us last week. When he confessed to reporters (unwittingly) that he took his orders from “the party caucus,” he exposed and confirmed that politicians are controlled by party central headquarters. This is also true of Republicans, as they too, take their orders from their party headquarters. So do you ever feel like you are not being represented? Your voice being ignored? We all do…unless you are a member of a party central committee. Their voices are heard, just ask Chuck U. Schumer. Thanks for making that clear, Senator. So how many branches of government are there, including the States? Today’s correct answer is: two. A Republican, and a Democrat. Think about it…Democratic judges always uphold Democratic party central issues, voted for by Democratic legislatures and implemented by Democratic executives (federal and state). Same goes for the Republicans. Mr. Ventura has it right. The parties are the problem. But you people go on supporting your own demise, keep on voting against your own best interest. Keep voting to build your own FEMA concentration camps. And after they disarm you, and start herding you towards the new radiation chambers, for “treatment,” for your own good of course, just remember, they are only following orders. So when the true Patriots come to try to avert all this, by ending all political parties, and returning us to a Constitutional government, just go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your counsel nor your arms, crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, may your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were once our countrymen.

This the the very, very Democratic activist George Stephanopoulos doing dirty work for the Democratic party. ABC should be prosecuted for allowing this type of political activity by this Democratic activist on the network

Funny how many of you bash Ventura saying he doesnt know anything about running the country and wouldnt be a good president but look at the idiot thats in there now! He fooled you all, and you bought into his crap of “hope and change” and now America doesnt have much hope and spare change is all thats left since he’s spend all of our money. Ventura couldnt be any worse, vote for him!

The rumor is that President Obama is planning to dump Biden and replace him with Jesse Ventura! President Obama thinks that Biden has been too much of an embarrassment!

George; He was actually a frogman with the UDT. Compared to SEAL teams, UDTs saw less combat and took fewer casualties. Following that, Governor Ventura’s office confirmed that Ventura was never a member of the SEALs. His spokesman stated that Ventura has never tried to convince people otherwise.

Lol. The government sock puppets and the sheeple are out in force today. Everything he said in this interview is true. Go and read a book instead of sucking on Rupert Murdoch’s teat all day. What a courageous man Ventura is.. how unfortunate he actually even stooped down to the level og calling his show ‘Jesse ventura’s conspiracy theory’.
What a joke. Disregard 9/11… it’s irrelevant.. there are ‘conspiracy facts’ that are plain as day lying around in 100s of books, declassified documents, wikileaks releasing that make a laughing stock of those that are mocking this guy.
And you guys speak of Jokes? The international community sees you as the joke. I love american, like I love all human beings – but the propaganda system that you so openly echo is clear for everyone to see. The Jokes on you America.. walking round pointing and laughing at people with your trousers (or pants) round your ankles and your flies (or zipper) undone and the Federal reserves fiat privates up your butt =)

Just to clarify, I did not mean the SEALs were “created” then, I meant “merged”.
“From September 11, 1969, to September 10, 1975, during the Vietnam War era, Ventura served in the United States Navy. While on active duty, Ventura was part of Underwater Demolition Team 12 (UDT).[4] The UDTs were merged with the US Navy SEALs in 1983, 8 years after Ventura had left the Navy.”

Based on the comments on ABC blogs we already live in an “Idiocracy”, it seems the vitriol directed at Ventura comes from transference (you have a computer, look it up!) from the slaves seeing a version of themselves, breaking the profile mandated by the intellectual elite and Democrats and Republicans that BROUGHT this country into the literally bankrupt (morally and financially) state that it is.
If you believe an entity who’s very existence relies on keeping you IGNORANT while they spend YOUR MONEY at the point of a gun, on their personal whims (like a war in Iraq, Afghanistan AND Libya for example) then your vitriol belongs not to Jesse Ventura or Ron Paul, but the person most actually responsible… YOURSELVES!!! Yes, STOP patting yourself on the back. YOU enabled this country to degrade into what it has become. Face the facts and grow up!
You really think the solution to the massive problems we have is the EXACT same thinking that created them… Folks that is the textbook definition of INSANITY. Pot meet kettle…

It is funny how many of you think Jesse Ventura is crazy…. even funnier how you do not like his “ideas”. His ideas are exactly the same as such lunatics as Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ben Franklin and George Washington. Learn more about our founding fathers and their beliefs and you will see why the powers that exist today in American politics have perverted our system for their own financial gain. Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights…. the Republicans and Democrats have crapped all over these documents. Wake up America.

Jesse, you are fearless, and your energy and vitality come from speaking up and not letting others that do not agree with what your saying. You know the truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God, go for it with Ron Paul what synergy with both honest and true patriot.

The criminals fear Dr Ron for good reason.
