Ventura Won't Vote in Presidential Election
URBANA, Ill. (Sept. 24) - Jesse Ventura says he'll take a pass on the voting booth in November.
The former governor of Minnesota told an audience at the University of Illinois in Urbana that he won't vote in the presidential election because he doesn't like Democrat nominee John Kerry or President George W. Bush.
"Look at the position I'm in," said Ventura, who served as Minnesota governor from 1999-2003. "If I vote for John Kerry, I'm going to get my taxes raised."
Bush won't get his vote because of the president's positions on social issues, including his opposition to gay marriage and stem cell research, Ventura said.
"It scares me when a president says he won't support stem cell research because it goes against God," Ventura said Wednesday. "I have news for you. If you're waiting for God to cure Alzheimer's, then we are going to be waiting a long time."

"'I have news for you. If you're waiting for God to cure Alzheimer's, then we are going to be waiting a long time.'"
And given that the research in question wasn't going to cure Alzheimer's either, Mr. Ventura is again left without a point.
I wonder if he's bitter that Arnold lives at the end of Predator?

Great!
Like I am supposed to care what Jesse "the Bobo" Ventura is gonna do?
The only reason he was elected in the first place is he was the "None of the Above" candidate.

Dammit Jesse Educate yourself on the Bush Stem Cell Issue!
There is no regulation denying ANY company from doing ANY type of stem cell research!
It is different if the want Uncle Sam to pay. Then they have to follow guidlines set out by the govenment.
How can people still be ignorant on this issue.
And stem cells are not going to cure any major disease any time soon.
I will tell you imbilical stem cells have shwon a lot of promise. They have to be collected at birth or at the birth of a sibling. There are some cases of leukemia being cured by this technique.

"I have news for you. If you're waiting for God to cure Alzheimer's, then we are going to be waiting a long time." Yes Jesse, it must be very stressful, knowing you have to live with Alzhemeimer's.... and the fact that your one-time freak show will never happen again.
To: Jenya
This is great news!
Since Jesse isn't going to vote then he will have absolutely no right to say anything for the next 4 years, and can finally STFU.
