Minnesota is lucky to have Jesse ventura and somethign different than the usual Republicans Vs the Democrats. I definitely like how Jesse ventura has a open mind and is independent from the two parties. I especially enjoyed his interview of Ron Paul when was sitting in for Larry King on CNN. Seems like a good guy.
I would have to say yes. At an individual level, contributing a lot of money to a 527 group, campaign or a PAC is the only way one could realistically effect an election.
Actually Jesse Ventura is borderline crazy and did very little to build up the party but he was smart enough to appoint good people no matter what their political affiliation to run the state.
Assuming the funds were used well, it would sway a lot of votes. Remember, I said contributing a lot of money would make a difference. Going to the voting booth and thinking your vote is going to change the outcome of any meaningful election is like expecting to win millions of dollars when you play the lottery. It is possible but extremely unlikely.
He's right, your votes don't matter a bit, you're better off not voting. Things certainly would get decided, but your way of life would be radically different. Meaning, you'd have to know how to grow your food and live without money. At least you'd be able to die knowing no man ruled over you, however. This is why many wars were fought over history, btw. Govt. rules the world when men end up with infantile minds.
I'm a Democrat who usually votes for Democrats, but sometimes votes for a Republican down ballot that I know is doing a great job, or will do a better job than his opponent if he is elected. At the top of the ballot (national and on the state level, governor down to the state legislature), I'm definitely voting Democratic.
