Say what you want about Ventura's antics..
But man, I miss him as gov. A lot. He had probably the best policies any governor of this state (and likely anywhere in the US recently) ever had.
You talk about Kerry getting out the "young" vote? Ventura got elected by the younger folks here, and surprised the fuck out of the idiotic repubs/dems.
If you have some spare time, get a copy of his book(s). You will likely (especially since you're posting on GFY) agree with almost every single thing he says, or close to it.
I can't think of a single issue where I disagreed with him, after thinking about it critically. The only one I disagreed with was him not supporting mandating schools to read the pledge before the day started. In retrospect, he was completely right and I was wrong.
Fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Perfect. He had the "live and let live" attitude more people need to get a fucking grasp of.
I sincerely miss him in the governors office. Someone who's not afraid to speak his mind and give a big fuck you to all the politically correct assholes out there is A-ok in my book.
If more people would stop being hung up on his past, you might be pleasantly surprised over how much you agree with all his policies.
Peace,
-Phil
