Would You Vote for Jesse Ventura For President?

Y'all better watch it or we'll get another prez like A H Clinton! Then we can really kiss the country good bye.

Hmmm who would I rather have in office, smarmy, dress staining and glad handing Billy Bob or plain talking "dumb" GW. The choice is clear my friends, GW. Let's not even get to the subject of first ladies.

As for "the body" he would be worthy of consideration in a few more years.

We would all like to elect a president who would do axactly as we would like; we would all like to elect one who would , by god stick to his guns---provided it happened to be on something we approve of.

Bush could possibly stick to his guns and not give those dumb liberals an inch and MAYBE go down in history as a guy who did not cave in on anything--------and possibly thereby be the guy who enabled algore or hilliary to be president #44.

Politics has been described as the art of the possible; its possible to get somethings done and not others. If Bush can stay in office for a second term and help get a few more conservatives elected, it just might be that he will get a whole lot more done for conservatives and the country in the long run than if he was perceived the way some of us would prefer, and by being unbending loses the next election to al or hilliary.



I am not saying that is the way it is/will be, but I suspect he and his staff and advisors know a whole lot more about what is and is not possible in Washington than I do.

Example; if we (I too believe campaign finance reform) is probably unconstitutional) are right and the Supreme Court kicks CFR out, than there was no harm done and by signing it Bush took away a huge Democrate position in the next election? Maybe thats what he has in mind maybe not. The Demos, are certainly running against him right now and it would be stupid if he were not keeping a very close eye on the consequences of what he does now in terms of the issues that are likely to be important in the next election. It may be a good feeling to be Mr. Macho man now, but it would be a better thing to avoid handing the office to the liberals in the next election.

In any event he was light years a better choice than Gore, and I will be giving him the benefit of the doubt; I had confidence in him then and I doubt I know a whole lot better than he does now, so I intend to go on riding the better of the horses, not shooting it because I think it stumbled.

A President MUST follow the Constitution!

Merryman,

I don't expect to elect a president who would do exactly what I want him/her to do, I EXPECT a president (and congress) to follow the Constitution and govern within the boundries set forth by the founding fathers ... . period.



Since FDR (the BAD Rosevelt), it has seemed that the Constitution is nothing more than a roll of TP in the Oval office's bathroom.



When Bush signed CFR, he has violated his oath of office "... to protect and preserve the Constitution ... ". If he is willing to sell out the Constitution and especilly the 1st Amendment, he will sell anyone and anything out for political purposes!



All Bush would have had to do is explain to the American people why he was vetoing CFR and how it was unconstitutional (which anyone should be able to see), and that the people who authored this drivel were were true enimies of our Republic; he would stayed true to his oath and would have won new found respect by many Americans.



But he plays the political game; like I said he will sell out anyone or anything to keep his poll numbers up ... for example the anouncement that the his Solicitor General will argue that the 2nd Amendment (the most important of all) is and always has been an individual right on the one hand ... then prevent airline pilots from packing a . 45 on planes ... you can't have it both ways which is what Bush wants.



As I have posted once before this site has a great depiction of representation of what happens to civilizations ... can you guess where America is on this chart?



America is still asleep and most likely will never wake up until it is too late and we will all be servents to the Federal gov't made up of special interest groups attacking each other, then people will ask how it happened? And the answer is that we never held polititions to the confines of our Constitution and noone cared.

I would vote for him because, when he says something, he does it. He is the only politition who does what he says. He tells the truth, the way it is. :-{}

 

[WOWZY]

I would vote for Jesse Ventura in a heartbeat. I believe there wouldn't be any mountains and caves left to search through for Osama if it was up to Jesse.



There would be alot of wasteland for sale in the Middle East if Jesse was in the Oval Office.



Jesse would visit the aftermath and say something like "Dam I got some Osama on my snakeskin boots!!"



He's a real Country Boy, he can spit 'bacca juice out the window of his truck and not get any on the sides.

FATCAT;

I don't much differ with your theory, its just that the real world often doesn't work that way.

While bush was TRYING to explain why he vetoed CFR, a million bucks worth of free air time by the media would be killing him on it-- and next election, when his explaination was mostly forgotten, the media and all the liberals would bury him in air time over it. I ,of course, can't be sure how it would play out in the end, but when the media people want to get you (and they would be out for blood on this), they can in many ways devote enormous influence on the voting public. My bet would be that vetoing that bill would be very near a sure gift of the presidency back to the liberals next election. Think Algore and Hilliary???

Theory and thunder about the way it ought to be is great------winning in the end is nice also.



In the revolutionary war, the Redcoats thought it dishonorable for Americans to sneak around in the brush and shoot british solders who could not see them, but it sure beat standing out in the open and being shot. There is some paralell in politics! Sometimes we need to keep an eye on what will produce results in the long run as well as what is macho in the short run.

Pulling the teeth of the liberals on one of their pet programs that incidentally has complete support of the media, is not a bad ambush--especially if it is unconstitutional. If it is, no harm will have been done and the liberals have been ambushed.
