Former Gov. Jesse Ventura assailed what he called the "Fascist States of America" after a federal judge threw out his lawsuit against the government's use of body searches at airport security.
"This is the lockdown of America going on," he told reporters in front of the federal building in St. Paul at noon today. "Our judicial system in our country today is a bunch of cowards."
He posited that the only way he might change things would be to run for president as an Independent.
Is he considering doing that?
"I'm thinking about it," he said, "that's all, though."

He should run with Ron Paul. How awesome would that be.
But would Ron Paul want him as his running mate? Would we want him as a vice president.... or a CO-President =P Things sure would get interesting, probably for the better.

It sounds like he is genuinely fed up and is echoing a sentiment sweeping the country to a much greater degree than is let on by the MSM. While I'd love to see him run for president I think there are some powerful behind the scene forces that are effectively limiting the powers of the modern American presidency to the point where the president is a mere figure head - a sort of spokesperson for the powers that be.

Jesse Ventura is just another part of the charade.
Why do people have such a difficult time seeing this? He's bought and paid for just like the rest. He knows his role and he plays it. Just as in pro wrestling, when the lights are on and the people are watching, they act like hated enemies, yelling and arguing and carrying on, but when the lights go off and the people go home, they relax and drink a few beers together and laugh at the marks who bought the act.
