Can We Please Get Some Jesse Venturas in the Democratic Party? »

Posted By metavirus 6 months, 1 week ago in Political News

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has been scorching a bloody path through Outer Wingnutistan over the last few days. His unequivocal condemnation of torture and the twisted sociopaths who apologize for it has been nothing short of amazing. Will someone please tell me why the Democratic Party is infested with so many cowering mealy-mouthed investigation-phobic "centrists" like Harold Ford and too few people with real balls like Jesse Ventura?

      There are plenty of crack head 9/11 truthers in the democratic party already.

      what makes ventura, ventura is that he doesn't buy into the two-party system. maybe we need more democrats to be venturas.

        Jesse is absolutely right! This technique is effective at getting the detainee to say whatever you want him to say. This is not the same as getting the detainee to reveal truthful and useful information.

        I think the whole point of them doing it in the first place is to get them to say what they want them to say.

          I liked Ventura. But you can never succeed in politics if you are critical of religion.
          If he runs, he's got my vote.

            All he does is spout common sense... talking truth on and on and on... who needs these types of people that keep trying to take America off of it's track to being the fourth soviet reich?

              Noticed how he danced around Ventura's offer of waterboarding him so he could personally experience the fun and games that you can have with a board and some water?

                onlyonesecret: The saddest thing I can think of is you,and the rest of the America haters were,and still are hurting because we have been safe for more than seven years.I Don't really care for water boarding,it takes to long.I personally prefer kidney stones implanted upon capture.By the time they go through the process of being transported,and housed they would be making like magpies.So for each piece of info you give you get one pill.If it proves to be fake then ten days no pill.I put up with them for ten years.We would have known the where about of every low life scum bag around the world including the super scum here in America hiding behind religious garb,and waiting for a chance to destroy,maim,and murder their life long enemy.

                ventura is a joke...did nothing as gov of minnesota..just another blow-hard demo...strange how you obama cult follower's don't consider the 65 known beheading's of our soldier's and american worker's torture..maybe dragging them through there street's while they were soaked in gasoline and sit on fire might be considered torture...nope.. having water dripped on there forehead's is much worse....

                No doubt Ventura is a terrific speaker/debater. But he proved himself mediocre as a politician who could actually get things done. Would he be any different in Washington versus Minnesota? Only one way to find out...
