Jesse Ventura on running for president in 2016: "As an independent, you don't want an incumbent, so the office will be wide open"

June 4th, 2013

On Monday evening "Piers Morgan Live" invited Jesse Ventura to return to the program, welcoming the former Minnesota governor and his trademark brand of candid commentary and unique insight.

Willingly taking a seat on "The Grill," the longtime WWE wrestling personality explained why 2016 would be the perfect year for him to run for president:

"As an independent, you don't want an incumbent, so the office will be wide open," he surmised. "I'll tell you right now what I would run on: I would run with no political party and I would give the people of the United States of America the opportunity to elect their first president since George Washington – the father of our country – who does not belong to a political party."

I try not to treat what American_Jizzwad says seriously. Even his Avi is the kind of thing of a poster who can't be taken seriously.

But here's the problem with a third party. They never really work. A third party is really just a sign of dissatisfaction with the existing parties, a stopping point for the disaffected to go before either changing party or coming home meekly.

The TEA Party only represents 8% of the population, and most of the country has a bad opinion of it, but it has enough strength to threaten Republicans in primaries by carrying out Kamikazi flights. (Nominate someone who can't possibly win in the general election.)

Until the GOP is willing to stand up to the Teabaggers, they are going to continue to cause trouble.

As long as the limited party leadership has the power to marginalize and punish elected members --- third and fourth parties are the ONLY REFUGE for an honest politician with a conscience.. Don't obey your majority/minority leader?? You'll be begging on the street for election funding and working your House office out of the supply closet..

Truly 4 people in Congress RUN this country -- BECAUSE there is nowhere for dissidents within the party to hide.. That's a recipe for ---- well ----- the fucking crap we have now.

Make the parties EARN A VOTE.. When your party abandons races in your district because they can't win --- they've abandoned you.. Do realize how often this happens today in Congressional races??? ?

Most of the people can't tell you what the Tea Party platform consists of, but they know the Tea Party is stupid because the talking heads on TV tell them the Tea Party is stupid.

I'm not represented by any party. I vote Republican because they are slightly more in tune with what I believe in on fiscal issues and concerning gun laws. The Republicans have little to offer me (especially when it comes to anything the Evangelicals champion), but the Democrats have even less to offer. The Libertarians lose me when it comes to foreign affairs and the border/immigration. Third parties are a joke. Where does that leave me?

I can't speak for others but I was very interested in the Tea Party but it didn't take long to see that they really had no platform except they were 'mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore', wore stupid cutesy hats and signs that read, 'keep government out of my Social Security'. Very quickly, they sold out to the Kich's and became the teepotty that such mental giants as $arah Palin and Michele Bachmann subscribed to. They're an embarrassment.

We have dozens of "political parties" in the US but JoeB is right about support for them.

What does it say about us that big money (Kochs) owns the teepotty and the Rs are afraid to stand up to them? I think its very possible that the GOP (no b) is dead and has become the GObP.

Is It Time For a Third Party?

February 20, 2013
by Sean Aland

...


The Democrat Party—at one time an honorable organization—has been hijacked by leftist progressives, which is another name for American socialists. It is now the party of big government, redistribution, entitlements, equal outcome, and runaway spending; a party that ignores the Constitution and refuses to compromise. It is the far left political party. The Republican Party that used to be the small government, constitutional-conservative party has tried to get its tent so big the Party is fast becoming the Democrat light Party. The Republican Party now strives to be the party of the middle and middle left—a so-called kinder, gentler party that is more moderate, inclusive, and submissive—one that no longer represents the right.

The Tea Party, despised by both establishment Democrats and Republicans, is the new representative of conservatives. It stands for the conservative, Christian, constitutional, capitalist, small-government ideology. Simply stated the contemporary Democratic Party represents the far left, the Republican Party represents the moderate left, and the Tea Party represents real conservatives who are trying to salvage our country. Currently both parties suffer from an identity crisis with Blue Dog Democrats supporting socialism and the Republican Party abandoning its base. Since both major parties have abandoned their constituents, it may be time for Americans to abandon the elephants and asses and start a new majority party.


...


We are at a crossroads in America. Hence, it might be time to carefully examine the platforms of both major parties to deter mine what they actually stand for and represent. This might require the establishment of a third party to get the attention of the establishment, careerist politicians of the current two parties. That party could be the Tea Party. If this does not happen, perhaps it is time to adopt the European model of two major political parties, the Socialist party and the Conservative party. The progressive Democrats and RINO’s would feel more at home in a Socialist Party , and the Blue Dog Democrats and GOP conservatives that still have an ounce of character could start rebuilding a constitutional, small government, Conservative Party under the tutelage of the Tea Party Patriots.

Socialists. Don´t overstretch that term please. What you call socialism, is still predatory capitalism to us in Europe. Not even the the current French homo-government has a whiff of socialism though they call themselves "Socialist Party".

As for the Tea Party I heard they want to limit the right to vote to landowners.

And he's anti christian, smashing the christian symbol yelling yee haw, oh my...

I'm gonna have to start paying a little attention to your posts cuz they're funny as hell.

No, guy, I already know what the TEA Party stands for.

It stands for the Koch brothers spending a lot of money getting lower-middle class whites to be angry the Black Guy is in the White House trying to fix everything Bush messed up.

Mark this date in history.. Luddly and I AGREE on something.. Ventura went commando after his governorship and is a complete loose cannon.. Would rather have Howard Stern run in his place.. (entertainment value -- not values)\

Just work for more equitable ballot access and entrance to the debates if you qualify on enough ballots. That's all that is required..

We need to remove the privilege of maintaining power by 2 party monopolies.

Aluminum makes it easier for the scanners to track you..

It can rule a nation.

I no longer hold out any hope of a third party making any difference...
