Al Gore in 2000. He got a half a million more votes than George Bush and lost. How can that be? It's ridiculous. It's an elitist system. It's so they pick your President. You don't - the people - and it needs to be abolished.

I'm not disparaging suicides when I call them weak, I'm pointing out that anybody who would consider doing a thing like that needs help. I don't think a normal, mentally healthy person commits suicide.
Jesse Ventura
I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.
Jesse Ventura
'The Young and the Restless' is my favorite television show.
Jesse Ventura
What do we have for veterans? Government-run health care. I understand that. Congressmen and senators... they get five choices of government-run health care. Why should a congressman and senator get anything more than a regular citizen does? Why are they privileged and the rest of us aren't?
Jesse Ventura
You can't put civil rights on the ballot.
Jesse Ventura
I follow the teachings of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, United States Marine Corps. He won two Congressional Medals of Honor, and he wrote the highly controversial antiwar book 'War is a Racket.'
Jesse Ventura
The people need to understand that marijuana is an unbelievable plant that has huge medical - it's a medical plant, is the best way to describe it. It has huge benefits for us as people in many, many - so many different ways.
Jesse Ventura
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector.
