That guy is such a jackass. I met him at a lakes area business association meeting when he was running for gov. Better than humphrey, but he sure messed up the state in a hurry. Light rail my ass.
ETA Great, thinks highly of hilary and think Barak is the best there is

I guess his time in Baja has made him forget that Dick Cheney is actually our Vice President and NOT our Secretary of Defense. And an even bigger problem---how did Larry King not catch this? Is he that ignorant about who our office holders are, and if so, why is he still held in such "high esteem" by the "cultural elite" in this country along with the other uber-liberal, I mean main-stream, media talking heads like Cronkite/Jennings/Rather?

Although Ventura's policies aren't all that different from most Democrats, the one and only thing that I have always like about his ideology is removing the two party dreadlock that this country has had along with all of the loop-jumping that a non-Democrat/Republican candidate has to go through to even get on a ballot. Free and open elections my a$$--our political system is much more oligarchy than republic and has been for decades.

I agree-truebeliever. He may have not had the greatest inkling on how to be fiscally responsible for a whole state but that doesn't mean 3rd party candidates and others out of mainstream politics aren't good for the game.

Are two party dreadlocks more durable than one party dreadlocks? Because I would hate it if my dreadlocks only made it through one party before falling apart...

Not to mention the fact that he never was a Navy Seal. He was UDT-11. NOT a Seal. Big difference. He thinks people don't know though. Oh, and he's a truther. |

Why, because SEALs have a hubristic blood lust as big as McCain's? I can't speak for SEALs (I am not one) but I believe that the bowed head of the eagle on their trident signifies humility (I think the only military pin that has this trait), which is a philosophy at odds with McCain, and Judging from my experience with those who are either in the SEAL program currently or in the Spec Ops community (i.e. Army SF), as well as some Marine Intel guys, are not at all fans of McCain. However everyone is different and you can't put words in anyone's mouth based on a small sample set. Infact, I don't personally know a single McCain supporter and neither do any of my .mil friends, they all find him utterly distasteful despite loathing Hillary and Obama although I'm sure they exist and have their own internal disagreements. I shall not utter the name of whom it is they support 100% wholeheartedly. However like anything it may just be my clique of friends. I have a few surface fleet sailor friends and relatives who tell me that no one aboard their respective ships like McCain. They tell me there are more Obama supporters than McCain or Hillary.  and say McCain is reckless, and appearently their Obama support is primarily a vote of no confidence.

He has never claimed to be a SEAL as far as I know. Every interview I have heard he corrects the interviewer on that point and sets them straight. Ventura can not control what the news prints. |

Ventura does claim to have been a SEAL. Although he served with UDT-12 while on active duty in Vietnam, he did serve with SEAL team 1 while in the reserves. If you notice, he wears a trident pin on his lapel. If he wasn't a SEAL he would be wearing it exactly 6 feet up his ass by now. NAVSPECWARCOM allows him the privilege of donning the trident and claiming the title of SEAL as he served with them and UDT was the progenitor of the SEAL program.

Posted: 4/14/2008 7:03:31 PM EST
ok, that I could buy. The Problem is, he still talks about serving in 'nam as a Seal. Which according to that, didn't happen. |

As you can see I haven't been here that long so I have no reason not to believe you. I saw the interview and don't understand all this hate toward Ventura. There are some negative points but we all know politics these days as always are very elitist and truly separated from the average peoples needs. I wish for an Honorable, Veteran or former Serviceman or woman with common sense and new ideas to be President. IMO at least. But will never happen of course. |

Ok, I don't really like this guy either but.... Let's point out some hypocrisy here... There's a sticky up top about how we cannot disrespect or dispute McCain's service record, but anybody else who served is open game?.... I think if we are going to respect McCain as a soldier who served our country, even if we don't agree with him, we should extend the same respect to even this guy Ventura.  I would think the fact that he was a pro wrestler would have been enough fodder to mock him anyways. |

According to the United States Naval Special Warfare Command policy, Ventura is entitled to use the title "SEAL", due to both his service in the UDT and SEAL teams, and his successful graduation from UDT-R (now BUD/S) training. |

Posted: 4/17/2008 6:41:40 PM EST
Show me a policy that says if you serve on a UDT team in Vietnam you can say that you served in the Seals in Vietnam. Seals were not UDT, UDT were not seals, different missions, different people. |

I can see what you are saying, but it seems like a technicality. Show me a video or at-least a link to some Quotes of Ventura boasting about his Seal experience IN NAM, and be done with it, but it sounds like a lot of hearsay without some proof. UDT wasn't exactly a bunch a light weights either. I don't know why you would criticize his service when I doubt you have a fraction of his military training. I think the guy is a loon. He made a pretty lame wrestler, and an even worse Governor, but I haven't had special operations training from the Seals, or UDT, so I'm not going to criticize him there. |
