Amazing, good for Ventura! Thanks for posting, a revolutionary speech indeed and very healthy i think for America in general. Asking questions is not a crime! I was almost surprised that the security/secret service didn't cut the power and drag him off.

I betcha they would have if he wore a shirt, tie and suit and had a haircut. If he looked in any way "respectable".

If he dressed like a politician he would have been in trouble as he cannot be written off the stoner/slacker (takes one to know one :lol he appearsto be.

Hell of a speech. Made to raise up moral. It has mine There is a way out!

In response to Mike Dangerously, heard on the radio last nite that Jesse is indeed going to run as an Independant in 2012 for President.

Go Jesse Go!!

He made a great governor (I'm a MN native) and I think he is one of the few with enough balls to speak up and do what's right for our country.

How many neo-conmen could The Body take out at one time?!

And Ventura endorses Nader? Interesting. Where's Mean Gene Okerlund when we need him? He could moderate a debate between The Body and Glenn Beck, for starters.


...it looks like he's yanking down Hillbilly Jim, certainly a Republican, in this one!

I am speechless after Jessie's comments, he has got some major nuggets.

Unreal!

I like Ventura's ideas... but were just not powerful enough.

Great politicians need to be like Hitler, a great speaker. Ventura is a great speaker, but he has good intentions. Could he be an example of the good Hitler?

God Bless Mr. Ventura.

A blessed American man who KNOWS the ideals of America and not to be pushed around by the so called elite. That goes for Mr. Paul as well. And hopefully one of us will get the accolades and position to push as many mountains as possible. Truth will be disclosed, one day, in our lifetime.

i caught some of this speech on the radio in austin texas on my way to work.it made me feel like an american again.after hearing so much scripted jingoistic fluff from so many people in government jesse asked us to prove our love for this country to ourselves and asked for a commitment from us to help him take the country back in 2012.lets show him we mean it.that is real hope.real hope requires work to achieve the goals that hope itself inspires.i just hope it doesnt get bloody,but i feel like some heads are gonna roll when this starts to happen.

It would be nice if we could fix things with peacefull deminsrtaions and fair arguments, but Im afraid its going to have to be more of a violent out rage and civil war before anything gets fixed. The way people think today is that we have come so far from the days when we had to use violence to get things done,they like to think that we are more civllized now and can work things out with out fighting like we had to in the past,It is them types of people ho would lay down and cry at the sight of danger,rather than stand up and fight like we had to in the begining. I will tell you that if it is a REVOLUTION on the rise, I will be there to fight along with anybody that will stand for freedom,Ill be dam if I will take anything less than what I have now, I would rather die first.

It's confirmed!! Ventura is the AntiChrist!
You see how easily he deceived people there, and now he's already got people excited about him running for President in " 2012!!! "
That's it I've never been more convinsed of anything more in my life. Call the Green Berets, I hear they have beef with any SEAL!
Do it now before time runs out!

Rosie ODonnell would love this one.

I love it. I'm glad he brings it up in public.

And yet so many people deny that its true.

I have come to the conclusion that this subject is just too uncomfortable to debate- its easier to beleive that we were attacked by the boggieman-Osama.
My own brother, a Democrat, wont hear of this. Idiot.

As someone has already mentioned, Jesse is not a great speaker. And unfortunately, because someone cannot stand up and read a speech from a telepromter, they are dismissed as being not too bright. Jesse Ventura is an extremely intelligent man, one who thinks outside the box. He just needs to learn how to give a speech. As far as his style of dress is concerned, I think it's time the rest of the politicians loosened up. I used to wear a tie to work. Now I don't even own a suit. I work in healthcare, so I wear scrubs. At home, I wear jeans and tee shirts, if I bother to wear clothes at all. We put way to much emphasis on the outer man, and ignore the inner man. We tend to dismiss a man's ideas if he's not buttoned down and buttoned up.
I hope Jesse runs, in 2012, but he will have to start now, and really stay visible. But as an independent, he won't have the chance of a snowball in H***! We are too locked in to our two party system and the dems and the repubs aren't going to let anyone else play.
