Former pro-wrestler and Minnesota governor, Jesse Ventura, says he would consider getting back into politics if Texas Congressman Ron Paul would run for president as an Independent.

Ventura told George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" that he would "give great consideration to being his running mate." But Ventura says he wouldn't run on Paul's ticket as a Republican.

Too bad he didn’t reach out and pop Piers Morgan’s head like a pimple when he called him a coward.

If Cahill was responsible for keeping that Socialist Slick Willardbot, UpChuck Baker, from the Governorship, you ought to be worshipping the ground he walks on.

Maybe they could get Charlie Sheen to be Secretary Of Defense he got ‘Tiger Blood’ and ‘warlock napalm’. Maybe Borat for Secretary on State!

Yes, please!

And Paul, you can add that “Guam tipping over with our military presence” congressman to be your Sec State.

Agreed FM.

UpChuck “Chazz” Baker was a fundamentally flawed candidate. He wasn’t going to win, no way.

Cahill was the hedge to assure Patrick’s victory.

Jessie is his own man, I’ll give him credit for that, but he is not in any way a Libertarian like Paul. Not close.

Just when I thought that there would be no way I could be less inclined to vote for Ron Paul, Jesse Ventura goes and proves me wrong.

This could be highly entertaining.

And they'd likely pull voters off of the left.

But Ventura says he wouldn't run on Paul's ticket as a Republican.

If he were honest about it, neither would Ron Paul.

Way too late. I use to be an everyday reader/poster on FreeRepublic since 1998 to 2006. I occasionally return to see how things have progressed -- for better or worse.

They have some wacko stuff in common but Ventura is a statist and social liberal.
