Yes..Ventura would help take Dem votes from swing states...esp the libs unhappy with Obama on Gitmo, drones, Bradley Manning, etc
Ventura could be the Useful Idiot that could be used by conservatives....his suit of Chris Kyle’s widow means 0.0 conservatives will vote for him
I remember back when Ventura started his run for governor, a woman asked him a question about some social issue. I was impressed at the time because the answer was something like “that’s not the government’s job”.
Then he got elected, and was off the wall as any lib.
I used to enjoy Idiocracy. Now it scares the hell out of me.
The guy I keep confusing with Hulk Hogan?
I remember.
Recall, also, his deer-in-the-headlights look when it was apparent he had won? Nobody was more surprised (especially since he probably ran as a publicity stunt for his ailing radio career and nobody else wanted the dummy) and I think he never expected the win in a million years. All of a sudden, he was in charge like the bully given the deed to the china shop.
Still, he did a couple things that no other pol has had the guts to do - he lowered auto licensing to a new, low, equal level (so his kids Porsche didn’t cost so much) and, secondly, he had the stones to return over-collected taxes to the rightful owners rather than blowing it (illegally) as a surplus.
Nonetheless, everything else he did was to enrich himself and outside the duties of the office (TV, doll, books, etc.). Lastly, he pissed on Minnesota CC reform people by granting himself a carry permit and nobody else. Nice guy.
I would’ve loved to have seen Chris Kyle clock that nitwit.
I think we got something close to $1,000 from Jesse’s tax rebate. That took some nerve to get done.
A full three years after we moved south, MN tax department found we had short paid the state by $600, so they got some of it back.
Nutters never let little things like that stop them.
