Roseanne Barr Seeks Green Party Presidential Nomination

[Lakhota]

By ANDREW MIGA

WASHINGTON — Roseanne Barr said Thursday she's running for the Green Party's presidential nomination – and it's no joke.

The actress-comedian said in a statement that she's a longtime supporter of the party and looks forward to working with people who share her values. She said the two major parties aren't serving the American people.

"The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants -- bought and paid for by the 1 percent -- who are not doing what's in the best interest of the American people," Barr said.

Occupy Wall Street protesters popularized the "We are the 99 percent" slogan in their fight against economic disparity and perceived corporate greed.

Barr has submitted paperwork to the Green Party for her candidacy. The party's presidential nominee will be selected at a convention in Baltimore in July.

Barr said she has been fighting for working-class families and women for decades.

"I will barnstorm American living rooms," she said in a candidate questionnaire submitted to the Green Party. "Mainstream media will be unable to ignore me, but more importantly they will be unable to overlook the needs of average Americans in the run-up to the 2012 election."

Barr's hit TV sitcom "Roseanne" aired from 1988 to 1997 and earned her an Emmy and a Golden Globe. She played a wise-cracking mom in the comedy about a blue-collar family. Barr has a 46-acre macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.

Well, Reagan pulled it off. Could Roseanne be our first female Jewish president?

 

[Lakhota]

BTW, what exactly is a Jewish Mormon?

She actually has a macadamia nut farm?

May I suggest the Almond Joy song to be her campaign's theme song.

I need to do some research on the Green Party. I know nothing about it.

If your experience reflects mine, Lakota, you will be sorely disappointed by what (or more like who) you find controls it.

 

[Avatar4321]

Considering her very public statements about beheading people who disagree with her, I will be supporting someone else.

 

[JoeB131]

Meh, why not.

"Save the Whale".

She won't have the votes.
Not enough people in this land who want to go full communist.

I need to do some research on the Green Party. I know nothing about it.

The Green Party is a lot about saving money and creating new industry and restoring America. The Green Party is the only absolutely Fiscal Conservative Socially Responsible political group in the USA.

Of course neither of the big money power groups wants anything to do with the Green Party because it destroys the political money machines.

The Green Party has been character assassinated by the two most corrupt political machines on earth. Why fall for their BS?

Most comments about the Green Party displays how little research people do.

 

[merrill]

BTW Roseanne Barr is not stupid not by a long shot.

The "stupid ones" have been on the campaign trail for years now. Many of them on tax dollar payrolls or with employed by large sums of corp special interest money such as consultation firms and think tanks.

The only life they have ever known is corruption of sorts.

The 'Green Party' is full of Watermelons.

well...

When the Green Party has someone like a Roseann Barr running on their ticket, it gives me reason to not care about what their cause is. Creddibility is the number one factor of any cause.....and Barr takes that away from them.

Sadly, the Green Party is just a bunch of socialists, hiding behind the environmental movement... Watermelons... green on the outside, red on the inside. (I await hysterical whining from the left accusing me of racism... )

Based on my sentiments of Roseann Barr. I do not see heras a woman who appreciates this country and what it has done for her. I have never heard he speak of America.
He approach is crass.
Her demeanor is unbecoming of any head of any state.
She offers nothing as a canddiate other than her ideology...and there are far more credible people with her ideology that would be more appropriate.

She is as patriotic and brilliant as anyone on the campaign trail. Unlike the others she does not spend her life campaigning. She has been a working woman.

I used to think she was really funny and loved watchine "Roseanne".....years ago. Since then, she's just become a real wierdo. If she wants to throw her money away doing this, she can go for it. And the idiots that support her deserve to throw their money down the drain too...........
