He would be a big improvement over what we've got, but the die is probably already cast on the American Empire...

At one point I was a fan of his. It was interesting the campaign he put together in Minnesota. I don't see it happening this year. In 2000, maybe but not now.

He also has serious doubts about the official 9/11 fairytale.

Mr. Rteacher, I have seen gold fish that would be a big improvement over what we have at this moment. I would like to hear more specifically the ways you think Jesse could make a contribution.

Jessie now is hinting about a US Senate run in Minnesota. He has until July to file:

It seems more like a campaign to sell his new book, but he ran for Governor and won, so we'll just have to wait and see.

I would agree. In another context, someone said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time..." I think Jesse is hoping to fool most of the people one more time. I think the good people of Minnesota know the adage, " Once fooled, twice shy".

Actually, I think he's kind of crazy, and his invoking Che Guevara and the spector of violent revolution is probably not the best political vision - though it does have some shock value to focus on some issues (and sell his book...)

Well, he is a former S.E.A.L., and those guys are not exaclty fit the profile of "run of the mill".


I think Ventura has some really good points.

I admit, I am seriously considering my stance on how I view the U.S. (not the people, mind you).
