More quotes by Jesse Ventura
I think that Minnesota is different because we are proving that tri-partisan government could work, that you do not need to necessarily be a Democrat or a Republican to be successful at governing.
Jesse Ventura
My position is that it isn't government's job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do.
Jesse Ventura
Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.
Jesse Ventura
I don't support communism. I don't like that type of government.
Jesse Ventura
If waterboarding's OK, why don't we let our police do it to suspects so we can learn what they know? We only seem to waterboard Muslims... Have we waterboarded anyone else?
Jesse Ventura
Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government, that money must first be taken from somebody else.
Jesse Ventura
Most people would assume, as I do, that the courtroom is a place for the truth, but it's not with our corrupt judges today - and I'm talking about the corrupt ones on the court of appeals.
Jesse Ventura
If we would end the war on drugs, you would see the end of the militarization of our police forces and you would see an end to a lot of the shooting violence that's going on when people are being pulled over for traffic stops and then suddenly executed right in the street.
Jesse Ventura
Anything in life has a ying and a yang. It has a good and a bad. And in the case of freedom, well, freedom also gives you the freedom to be stupid.
Jesse Ventura
Our military doesn't defend our American people. Our military is the strong-arm muscle of corporations.
Jesse Ventura
I do not support the third party movement anymore. I now advocate the abolishment of all political parties. We've allowed the parties to take over the government.
Jesse Ventura
You can't legislate against stupidity, but we try to do it all the time.
Jesse Ventura
I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.
Jesse Ventura
There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves.
Jesse Ventura
Barack Obama's large contributor was Goldman Sachs - same thing on the Republican side. If you go to both their conventions, you see the same lobbyists paying off both sides so they win either way.
Jesse Ventura
How many elderly people you see have to leave the house they've had their whole life because their fixed income and their property taxes keep rising every year and they can't afford to stay there. And nobody gives a crap about it, and they're booted out, they have to leave their homes.
Jesse Ventura
Love is bigger than government.
Jesse Ventura
A car is a 2,000 pound projectile that can go 100 miles an hour.
Jesse Ventura
In my era of wrestling, there were no guaranteed contracts, so it was inherent that you draw the crowd in to make money.
Jesse Ventura
When you elect chicken hawks, chicken hawks take you to war.
