Jesse Ventura compares the United States government to Nazi Germany
Oct 23, 2008 - 03:13 PM |
Jesse Ventura compared the U.S. government to Adolph Hitler's Germany during an appearance on CYInterview.com. When asked his thoughts on the two party system and if there ever would be a dominant third party in this country, Ventura said, "I find it very disturbing when my country is following the philosophy of Nazis.”
Ventura added that he's keeping the door open on a 2012 Presidential run. "I just always leave the opening there because I am not a soothsayer. I cannot predict the future. Therefore I really don’t know what my mindset will be or what the situation will be four years from now, but I’ve learned in my 57 years on the planet that you never shut the door to anything." CYInterview.com.
Powell's POV: Roughly three years and nine months from now, Jesse will try to stir up a bunch of publicity about a possible presidential candidacy, only to appear on a cable talk show and announce that he's not running because of the damn media. He'll do the same thing every four years until he dies.
