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.

Ron Paul Super PAC gets funding from PayPal co-founders

Ron Paul
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is a man for principles and is popular because he advocates ideas of personal liberty, sound monetary policy and non-interventionist foreign policies. In addition, he opposes special interest favoritism and bailouts to banks.

Ron Paul is the only honest and non corrupt person among all the presidential candidates, republicans and democrats, and he does not ask corporate interests for campaign funds. His campaign funds, contributed by individual citizens, are not vast which puts him at a disadvantage to other well funded candidates Romney and Gingrich.

Reuter recently reported that a pro-Ron Paul super PAC has received some funding from co-founders of PayPal. People connected to PayPal in the early stages, co-founders Peter Thiel and Luke Nosek and Scott Banister, have donated to Endorse Liberty, a pro-Ron Paul Super PAC funding group.

According to Thiel, "Too often in this country we learn things the hard way ... With its unsustainable deficits, government spending is heading down the same path. Men and women who want freedom and growth should take action. A good place to start is voting for Ron Paul,"

Endorse Liberty was founded in November 2011. According to its website, Endorse Liberty is an alliance of entrepreneurs, inventors and creators who have come together to promote the cause of liberty as the founding principle that powers America.

Endorse Liberty is reported to have raised over $3.9 million to support Paul. They have promoted Ron Paul’s campaign by setting up YouTube channels, buying ads from Google, Facebook and StumbleUpon and building up a presence on the Web.

Ron Paul Presidential Candidate and Baseball Home Run Hitter

Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul is a man of principles and very knowledgeable about the Constitution, economics and world affairs. Although biased main stream media often belittles him by questioning his electability, Dr. Paul happens to be the only candidate who has been elected to the Congress about ten times. Most remarkably, as a physician, Dr. Paul has delivered over 4,000 babies.

There is another physical achievement of Dr. Paul that no presidential candidate can match. According to Politico, Dr. Ron Paul is the only congressman, dead or alive, to have hit a home run over the fence in the annual congressional baseball game’s 50-year history. The home run was hit during a game in the 1980s.

It will be no surprise if Ron Paul swings another home run all the way to the White House and is elected the next President.
