Roseanne Barr, the Presidential Candidate

Roseanne Bar
Comedian Roseanne Barr is running for President as the Green Party candidate and has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on January 25. The candidate will be nominated when the Green Party Presidential Nominating Convention takes place July 12-15 in Baltimore. There are four candidates for the Green Party nomination: Jill Stein, Kent Mesplay, Harley Mikkelson and Roseanne Barr.

Occupy Wall Street
Roseanne took this step because she, like most people, is fed up with both republicans and democrats. Roseanne, correctly, believes that both the Democratic and Republican parties are bought and paid for by corporate America and cater to the needs of the highest bidder as opposed to the people they claim to represent   and she cannot be bought.

Roseanne advocates:
·       single-payer healthcare to all
·       forgive all credit card and mortgage debt
·       kicking out the FED-those to whom all this fake debt is owed (similar to Ron Paul’s views)
·       legalize medical marijuana
·       change the demographics of government to include more women
·       outlaw bull
·       make war illegal
·       support the Occupy Wall Street movement

Roseanne was once heavily criticized for spitting during national anthem during a baseball game. However, that incidence was misunderstood and blown out of proportion. In reality, Roseanne had spit after singing the national anthem to simulate baseball players who often chew tobacco and spit to get the game going.

Roseanne, age 60, has very good political opinions which are often expressed in her blog (roseanneworld.com). Despite being a Jew, she is highly critical of Israel’s criminal and oppressive policies towards Palestinians and its detrimental effect on Jewish name and on the American politics.

Roseanne Barr is also very active on Twitter, and, According to the Green Party website, had tweeted a challenge to Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to have both herself and Jill Stein (another Green Party candidate) on their programs. We will see if Jon Stewart and his Daily Show has balls to handle Roseanne.
