It is a claim he (and many other Liberals) seem determined to make in spite of their obvious leanings.
I cannot remember a time when Jesse Ventura opened his mouth and was not insulting Republicans, Christians, Conservatives, Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, the Pope, etc.
This guy could run for V.P. under Obama and nobody would notice an issue change. Everything he says is right out of the leftist playbook.
Ventura is about as “independent” as Rush Limbaugh.
Celebs and politicians know that the term “liberal” is a dirty word and will always try to distance themselves from being labeled as such. But anybody with an iota of common sense knows exactly who they are.
I love it when people try to claim that they are Libertarians too. Despite the fact that they are bleeding heart liberals. Label yourself whatever you want, you won’t fool me or any other right thinking person.
