Jesse "The Idiot" Ventura wound up in the rut foreseen by Adlai Stevenson almost half a century ago. He continually condemned every opposition that was put in his path as "politics" (the most mortal of all sins to "The Idiot"), being far too arrogant to allow that someone out there might have better ideas or a deeper viewpoint than him. Adlai Stevenson on "populist" candidates: "They want to take the politics out of politics." The more things change, you see, the more they stay the same...

I myself spent time as a libertarian, and I can tell you it's an evolutionary party in many regards but from a pragmatic point of view the lbertarians fall woefully short. I did not defend or critique J V, what I stated was true, he represents the first in a wave of candidates who is able to come off the bench, literaly from out of no where and win despite the odds. 107 million Americans Abstained in the last election. That is the missing data from the pollsters and the parties who are in lockstep denial of this most important fact. This reduces their point of view to a measure called the "coefficient of fiction" which says that if a system ignores large % of it's potential input, that systems control mechanisms are doomed, due to the fact that the missing information is usually more important than that which their filters allow in. Most Demopublicans have come to the conclusion that the Bench is static, yet I can prove it is the most dynamic are of the electorate. Most demopublicans are so entrenched in their mind set they just take the NON Participation as an implied consent license to steal, and this will come back to bite them. The Non Voting Majority is as I am, realized that we indeed hold the High Ground, every dime spent wastefully was spent by demopublican hegemony, by our abstention we saw the practice of much of government for what it is, political favor from the many to the few. I happen to like what GWB is doing in the international arena, because our country is under threat by outsiders who do not treasure the Constitution of these United States, and would destroy it if they could. It is apparent that the democrats feed and support this crowd of America haters and therefore are viewed by the common guy and gal as unsafe and unhealthy for the well being of this revolutionary document.
