almost everything that you posted below is wrong. There are a couple of facts in there. 1. Jesse Ventura is not presidential material. Wrong 2. What your talking about is some symbolic protest vote. Incorrect, it isn't symbolic at all. Where he may not win, until people start voting for the person who really represents their view, we will be stuck with a choice between dumber and dumberer. My vote isn't symbolic, it is a necessary first step to change. 3. president is a very serious job, espcecially now. I agree with this. I wish our recent past presidents felt the same. 4. Kerry is the only one running (including Bush) who's qualified. "Qualified" is a subjective term. And Qaulification paper isn't necessarily meaningful in practice. Kerry has shown that he has a short fuse and unwillingness to take responsibility for his actions, even when for trivial events, such that it makes his qualifications suspect. (You may remember that he blamed others, with anger, when he fell on his tush snowboarding. And let's not forget about him flying the bird at someone in anger and frustration in the past couple of days).....hardly presidential material. 5. Jesse will never be qualified. Prove it 6. That said, I do like Jesse Ventura. I can't prove that right or wrong 7. But there is a reason he gave up the state house. If there wasn't a reason, he wouldn't have done it. 8. It's not his bag. How do you know? Prove it. 9. He did it just to prove something. How do you know? Prove it. 10. He'a also not married to marisa Shriver. That's true 11. Arnold could not cope at all in Cali without Maria. Arnold has a degree in economics and is an incredibly successful businessman. He was investing in valuable California real estate long before he become part of the hollywood glitterati. He was doing this without the aid of his current wife. 12. She's the real brains behind it all. Prove it.
