Fmr. Gov. Ventura: I Would Not Vote For Linda McMahon
October 13, 2010 11:00 AM
She may have been his boss at WWE, but Linda McMahon won't be getting Jesse Ventura's support in her bid to be Connecticut's next Senator.
“I don’t vote for Democrats or Republicans. If she ran as an Independent she could possibly get my endorsement, but I refuse,” the former Minnesota governor told me on "GMA."
Ventura was on to tout the second season of his show "Conspiracy Theory," and he weighed in with some of his theories.
Most out there? That the U.S. government was in on the 9-11 plot.
“Most people attack me because I question 9/11 now and…when people attack me I always go ‘What have you studied about it other than what the government has told you and sound bite news has told you,’” he said.
“My theory is that we certainly knew it was going to happen and we did nothing to stop it,” Ventura said.
Watch the whole interview here:

Ventura has spent too much time in Hollywood. He has lost touch with reality, if he really thinks the government had anything to do with 9/11. That is pure BS.
It is true, that the intelligence community had gotten a bit slack, during that time, however.

Jessie Ventura is right about the political parties. They should not be on the ballot. George cut him off-what a damn shame.
Posted by: Robert Clark | Oct 13, 2010 11:58:38 AM
absolutely. I agree with Jesse and will support him and his show. As for 9/11, what did Bertha Champagne know?????
Posted by: Joe | Oct 13, 2010 11:59:50 AM
I agree with Jessie. Get rid of corruption in all political parties. The system is broken. Campain monies for adds are a falicy. False, corruption of facts and finger pointing. What happen to the real values of this country, besides special interest of Big Corporations buying votes?

Jesse is spot on, even on 9/11. If the fire was so hot to bring down the towers, why were survivors of the crash standing in the open holes of the building at the impact area??? Propane burns hotter than jet fuel, does your grill collapse everytime you use it???

I am going to vote for the Viet Nam Combat Veteran - Blumenthal - I wonder if he wear his medals on election day.

Why is stephanopolis even interviewing this America-hating imbecile. His claims about 9/11 are pure slander. I wouldn't vote for McMahon either but certainly not because of this scumbag's opinion.
Posted by: ConsDemo | Oct 13, 2010 1:46:24 PM
littledogs, that isn't evidence, stop spreading these dishonest and stupid conspiracy theories.
Posted by: ConsDemo | Oct 13, 2010 1:47:22 PM
Well that was a short interview. Isn't it funny how once Jesse started to provide the facts they cut him off and ended the interview. ABC sure doesn't want you to know the truth.
Posted by: Truth | Oct 13, 2010 1:48:23 PM
Truth about what? The 9/11 "truth" movement just spews hatred and slander. Thier "evidence" is made up, pure and simple.
Posted by: ConsDemo | Oct 13, 2010 1:50:24 PM
Geez, what a shameless liar, the Aug. 6, 2001 memo said nothing about flying planes into buildings.
Posted by: ConsDemo | Oct 13, 2010 1:57:42 PM
George has sunk to an all time low on this one. Is this how far you have to go to find someone that isn't going to vote Republican?
Posted by: wheresmymoney | Oct 13, 2010 2:19:41 PM
Once an idiot . . . I can't believe anyone would even interview him (of course I couldn't believe anyone voted for him either).
Posted by: EJ | Oct 13, 2010 3:12:19 PM
Jesse must have been thrown hard on his head while wrestling.

If Jesse won't vote for Linda McMahon, that tells us that she's the best candidate - go Linda!

Jesse is a stupid idiot and you need nothing more for proof that steroids and getting popped in the head too many times can cause brain damage.
Just shoot the stupid sap!

Did someone stated the he/she saw Elvis flipped burger at BK one time after his death ?
I wonder if it is Jesse!

"Why is stephanopolis even interviewing this America-hating imbecile. His claims about 9/11 are pure slander. I wouldn't vote for McMahon either but certainly not because of this scumbag's opinion."
I cannot believe how STUPID so many Americans are, when engineers, architects, military brass, PH.D.'s, ETC, ETC, have shown FACTS that disprove the lies the "government" told the American people about 9/11. And people still believe the lies. Have any of you rabid idiots LOOKED AT THE HOLE IN THE PENTAGON BEFORE THE WALL FELL AND SEEN THAT IT WAS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE THAT A BOEING 757 HIT THAT BUILDING? I cannot believe the level of idiocy. Ventura is 100% correct. The truth is coming out everyday, and soon it will be common knowledge, and then all you drooling "Wheel of Fortune" drones will be nodding your heads in agreement as if you knew it all the time. Go back to your game shows and your stupid CSI shows and your Food channel. Unbelievable. You can lead a dumb goat to a pile of manure but you cant make him eat it. Duhhhhhhh. So got an answer about the PENTAGON LIES? Duuhhhhhhhh. The war profiteering murderers will hang.

Mike D, it was much, much more deliberate than that.
Posted by: John H | Oct 13, 2010 5:42:43 PM
Well that settles it if he is against her she must be great!
Posted by: Wade Johnson | Oct 13, 2010 6:57:37 PM
I think we should question our government. There are too many questions that are not answered about 911. I like that fact that Jesse Venture is raising questions.
