Jesse Ventura Speaks Out For Gay Marriage Rights
from Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise
Former Navy Seal, WWF Champ, Governor of Minnesota, and current Harvard visiting professor Jesse Ventura came out in support of gay marriage yesterday.
"If the private sector churches do not want to honor a gay or lesbian marriage, that's fine, that's their business to do so. That's the private sector," Ventura said. "But the public sector should not be out taking rights away from citizens of the United States of America."
He also announced that should he run for president he will select Charles Barkley as his running mate.

When Jesse ran for governor in 1998, he ran against Norm Coleman,a bland Republican and Skip Humphrey, a bland Democrat, both from rich political families. They were so boring, and the Mind was so un- politician- like, that he beat them in a three- way race.
Oh boy, would I love to see Ventura/ Barkley beat Bush, Jr. and JFK II. But we need to let Sir Charles handle the negotiations with Osama.
