Keywords: handpicked two candidates, they are too similar, still an Independent

With over 20 candidates currently running for president, mostly Republicans, the variety of choices is larger than in previous years. Despite this, one name is seeing his momentum grow in a positive way. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders is running for the Democratic nomination for president, and another Independent former governor is throwing support his way.

When Jesse Ventura announced in 1998 that he was going to run as an Independent and challenge both the Republican and Democratic nominees for governor of Minnesota, most people shook their heads and laughed at the former pro wrestler, actor and Navy SEAL. By the end of election night, only Ventura was laughing as he came out the winner and was governor elect of the state of Minnesota. Now with the presidential election just over a year away, Ventura has sized up the candidates and is throwing his support to Sanders. Ventura went into further detail in a July 13 blog post on Ora.TV.

"Bernie believes in power to the people and the people controlling the government," Ventura wrote, saying "I think what Bernie Sanders is doing is extremely healthy." Ventura has said in the past that he refuses to back a Republican or Democrat, claiming they are too similar and bought off my special interests. Though Sanders is hoping to win the Democratic nomination, he's still an Independent.

"I’m sick and tired of the handpicked two candidates. It makes us look like we shouldn’t have even fought the Revolutionary War, because we still believe in kings and queens here."

"Hats off to Bernie Sanders," Ventura said, before noting "I’ll help him anyway I can." Ventura was once known as a conservative libertarian, but over the years has become more liberal and progressive in his political views. Knowing he has an uphill battle in front him, Ventura was optimistic about Sanders' chances, but concluded that if he fails, "maybe next year Jesse Ventura will pick up the gauntlet."

That's because radical libertarian minded people are closer to (D)'s than they are (R)'s if you break down both platform staples. That's a fact... and this forum is jam packed with his ilk... They either refuse to admit their filthy liberalness... or know it and hide it through deception.

Dear mister GI - are you so sure that your comment is accurate & complete? If not, please edit you comment while you have a chance at having a wee bit of peronal dignity.

I suggest, if you want to be known as a conservative, you start acting and speaking like it.

Oh my! I suppose you have all the definitions of proper "conservative" etiquette ready for my and certainly the viewing audience's viewing pleasure. Please let me and others know exactly what the HELL you mean by "conservative."

And that's why you don't comprehend how liberal you are... you have to ask another poster the definition of "conservative"

I have to ask YOU about conservatism because you milked the US government welfare system for only twenty years and are proud of the accomplishment of doing nothing throughout life. Since you "retired" only afer twenty years of government welfare, I suppose you think or consider that your rip-off to society is "conservative," correct?

After I've wiped your dysfunctional ass for 20 years, you should be more tolerant towards my privately funded pension.

Sheep like you can't function without government intervention... that's why you WILLINGLY live in a tyrannical libtard state.

Jessie made a name in fake, unreal wrestling... and when he was to old to fool trailer park people with wrestling deception... he capitalized on the only other gullible group of people besides pro wrestling fans... Ron Paul cult members.

And now all the posting kooks (like Hondo and Deckard, and MANY MORE) that spoke much love about Jessie, years ago on LP... can EAT CROW NOW regarding this libtard Bernie loving liberal pile of shit that attacked a military hero.

What have YOU really performed in life for America? I know, I know that you have 50,000 primers but other than that insignificant quibble, what have you done to demonstrate your "conservatism?"

I guess, I am really asking is why did you take advantage of a government system to only be relieved of duty after a few short years riding on taxpayer dollars?

Yes, he's in Mexico. It doesn't seem likely that he'll end up VP. Bernie and Jessie could possibly pull a lot of Hillary votes away, though. Libertarian Party or?

That is true. In reality they are liberaltarians. They are very keen to import democrats, hence their hostility towards Donald Trump.

He was pro amnesty for illegal aliens, so it is no surprise he is endorsing Bernie Sanders. Birds of a feather...

“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories.

The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is."

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

WTF do you know about being a conservative? You are a retried NY cop,which means by definition you are a statist asshole.

Hitler,Stalin,Mussolini,and every other dictator in history has had the same sentiment.

If the Founding Fathers hadn't been radical Libertarians there would be no Bill of Rights.

Someone that defends fags like you do, makes me a little nervous talking about certain body parts. lol

First time you went off about "gay marriage" they would have strung you up on a tree. First time.

No real secret why a low-information statist thug like you can't understand that.

George Washington's key General in charge of training and doctrine in the Continental Army was a known homosexual. In FACT,he is the guy that was credited with SAVING the Continental Army when it was falling apart due to diseases because he established standards for cleanliness. They had been putting the latrines too close to the living areas and well points,and they hadn't been properly washing the mess pots,plates,and eating instruments.

then why do so call libertarians like Ventura make common cause with big government socialists like Bernie Sanders ?

Because like so many other terms,the left has gotten away and stolen it as a term to describe their police state "paradise",and the media and history teachers let them get away with it.

They quit calling themselves communists when the citizens got wise to what communism really meant,and started calling themselves "liberals" despite they were and are about as "liberal" as Adolph Hitler.

(most) People finally figured out "liberal" was a code word for "communist",so they recently switched to calling themselves "progressive" despite the fact they are even less progressive than they were liberal. Words mean things,and the meanings only shape-shift if we allow it. That is why you will never see me identify a homosexual as being "gay". He or she may or may not be happy,but what they ARE is homosexuals. Calling them "gay" implies they are happy,and heterosexuals are unhappy.
