I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.
Jesse Ventura -
Government is connected to everything we do.

As governor, there isn't a lot I can do beyond that to crack down on crime. Law enforcement is really a local issue. It's the cops' job to tighten down on criminals.
Jesse Ventura -
When you have an opportunity to learn, you become smarter at more things. Having run government for four years, and being in charge of 26 departments, that's an education. So I think I'm savvier today. And probably more cynical.
Jesse Ventura -
If you start studying history closer, you'll find that most all wars are based on false flag operations to get people - to convince the people that they're under attack in some way so that they will support the wars.
Jesse Ventura -
I don't support abortion. I could never participate in one. But I think it would be a mistake to make them illegal again.
Jesse Ventura -
I love fat people. Every fat person says it's not their fault, that they have gland trouble. You know which gland? The saliva gland.
Jesse Ventura -
I'm not knocking private schools, but I owe it to my kids to let them grow up in a place where private school isn't required. They're only in school 6-8 hours a day; they have to live in their neighborhood 24 hours a day. I didn't want them growing up in a place where anybody with the means had abandoned their public schools.

I'm the only person in the world that, when he holds down two jobs, gets criticized for it; everyone else gets a pat on the back and say, 'What an entrepreneuring, hardworking person,' but apparently that doesn't apply to me.
Jesse Ventura -
In the last recession, 99 percent of us have lost wealth, but did you know that the top 1 percent increased their wealth five times? It tells you they create recessions so they get wealthier.
Jesse Ventura -
Democrats are so spineless, so afraid to go against the tide... but dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.
Jesse Ventura -
I think a person who is disabled should be disabled by no act of their own. If you become disabled because of alcoholism, drugs, or things of that nature, I do not think those conditions qualify someone to be called disabled. I think those conditions result from personal decisions.
Jesse Ventura -
You don't need lawyers making laws. Regular citizens can make laws. Let the lawyers work under the laws.
Jesse Ventura -
It's panhandling. . . That's the system we have, though. It's based on bribery.

A car is a 2,000 pound projectile that can go 100 miles an hour.
Jesse Ventura -
'The Young and the Restless' is my favorite television show.
Jesse Ventura -
I'd like to work on having every fourth year become a year in which no laws are made, but the old laws are reviewed, updated, or deleted as needed. That way we won't get endless, obsolete laws piling up on the books.
Jesse Ventura -
I feel used. I feel violated and duped over the fact that that turned into nothing more than a political rally.
Jesse Ventura -
You can't put civil rights on the ballot.
Jesse Ventura -
For every day the government is shut down, it should be that we don't have to pay income tax that day because they're not working.

I looked at my wife and said, 'You know what? If these people put their own dollar-an-hour raise above the integrity of our nation, I don't wanna be their boss anymore.'
Jesse Ventura -
There's no question that we need tougher drunk-driving laws for repeat offenders. We need to take a lesson from European countries where driving isn't a right but a privilege.
Jesse Ventura -
I don't take PAC money. I don't take special interest money.
Jesse Ventura -
They're Crips and Bloods in Brooks Brothers suits.
