Roseanne Barr Is Officially Running For President, Platform Involves Legal Marijuana And Same-Sex Marriage

Actress Roseanne Barr is officially running against President Barack Obama and GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. The famed and outspoke actress is running beside vice presidential selection Cindy Sheenhan. Barr’s running mate is an anti-war activist who lost her son in 2004 when fighting in Iraq.
The party platform for the women is based around the legalization of marijuana and same sex marriage.
With the two main party contenders raising more than $1 billion in campaign funds Roseanne will definitely be at a disadvantage during this election cycle.
I do have to hand it to Roseanne as she is not afraid to go after big political and economic issues. On her website Roseanne writes of economics in America:
“The Bankers and the Federal Reserve need to be brought down. They have stolen our money, our future and the American Dream and continue to enslave us with a broken monetary system. There is no scarcity; there is manipulation of the resources. We need to end the wars, bring our troops home and our jobs back, create new Green jobs and put people back to work. We need a resource based economy.”
“The legalization of marijuana is the way to end all Drug Wars and stop the monopoly of the subsidized prison systems. Our government and corporations are getting paid every time someone goes to prison for non-violent crimes due to marijuana arrests. Drug laws need to be rewritten to make them sane and people based. We need to end the prohibition on marijuana and legalize it.”

Oct 14, 2012
This is the same person who said that anyone that supported Chick-filet should get cancer and die. Roseanne, the scariest part is that there will be some nitwits that will vote for you.
Oct 14, 2012
Heck "NO"
Oct 14, 2012
OH HELL YEA THIS GRANDMA, CANCER PATIENT , HATE THE WAR ,REPUBLICAN AND RETIRED STATE WORKER. HUSBAND RETIRED GOV. SICK OF THIS NATIONS SHIT.
Oct 14, 2012
YES!!
Oct 14, 2012
SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS! The ONLY GOOD THING THAT CAN COME FROM THIS WOULD BE SHE WILL STEAL SOME OBAMA VOTES AND WILL STRENGTHEN THE ROMNEY/RYAN TEAM. Roseanne Barr can't even run a funny joke much less run a country.
Oct 14, 2012
absolutly NO FUCKING WAY.
Oct 14, 2012
All I'm going to say is that America is in serious need of change, from who ever is willing to make the change.
Oct 14, 2012
Terry-keep your insults to yourself. They're as outdated as your politics. I bet you're voting for Romney.
Oct 14, 2012
Dear Lord…..another crazy getting free publicity.
Oct 14, 2012
Hell NO!
Oct 14, 2012
This country thought she was pretty awesome for nearly a decade! Guess you're wrong. Since you're wrong about that, your use of the words can and will pretty much mean nothing. Ease up on the CAPS…it doesn't help your case
Oct 14, 2012
uh no.really hell no
Oct 14, 2012
I will gladly vote for her! Better than either one of idiots running as democrat or republican candidates!
Oct 14, 2012
Do you know which companies and organizations are supporting each candidate? Knowing this is Vital for your vote.
Romney: http://clnk.me/1wPjQ
Obama: http://clnk.me/1x0CY
Romney = WRONG FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS, he is supported by rich people who only want more money.
Oct 14, 2012
thats right.you got my votes
Oct 14, 2012
I'll vote for me instead, thank you very much. (rolls her eyes).
Oct 15, 2012
Legalizing marijuana and same-sex marriage I could deal with. I'm kind of unbothered by both of these, since neither one affects me in any way. Things is, Roseanne Barr is just plain evil and disgusting across the board.
Oct 15, 2012
Absolutely. You're right about the pot and marriage. But this is a perfect example of always living your life in a mindful way. I can't forget about her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. I'll never trust her.
Oct 15, 2012
She looks like Sarah Palin!
Oct 15, 2012
I just guffawed
Oct 15, 2012
I'd vote for her in a minute!
Oct 15, 2012
Listening to her sing the national anthem was hard enough. Now she wants to sit behind the big desk. I'm all for same-sex marriage, but this has got to be where I draw my line.
Oct 15, 2012
"because she thinks American needs to be a “little bit more socialist” at this moment in time."? This scares me more than when she said she wished we'd get cancer and die for eating Chik-Fil-A. Yeah, I want HER for our Commander In Chief. Not.
Oct 15, 2012
Could not agree with you more Dee!
Oct 15, 2012
i am and you are voting for the moron who can't lead or the slaughterer of our national anthem! go figure- exactly why should obama get 4 more – he failled – he lied and he is terrible at foreign policy!!!!
Oct 15, 2012
romney right for the middle class which i am – soon to be poor due to the closing of hundreds of coal plants and utility companies– you better worry about the socialists and communists and t errorists supporting obama who has lied failed and now wants another govt program for ppl to abuse get the facts– go see obamas 2016 — u might learn a thing or too!!! oh and the celebrities like yours truely – roseann another proud wreck amercia cause she is a whack!!!
Oct 15, 2012
Good Luck. I hope your Political Party throws a monkey wrench into the 2012 Presidential Election.
Oct 15, 2012
@Tabitha, I certainly was not among those who thought she was pretty awesome, so I guess you're wrong. For a decade and since her show went off the air years ago (Thank God!) I have always thought that she was a psychopath who was off her rocker and still do to this day! I have nothing against gay marriage since it does not affect me in any way, but I draw the line at making marijuana legal! She has got to be out of her freaking mind or retarded or both if she thinks that there are that many people who are willing to allow this to happen!
Oct 15, 2012
Well Tabitha Cloud maybe in your world Barr was pretty awesome, but in the "REAL WORLD" She was and still is NOT FUNNY and CAN'T RUN ANYTHING MUCH LESS OUR COUNTRY. The BEST thing Barr can do would be to use her money to help the unemployed and homeless that Obama has caused and leave the IMPORTANT JOB OF RUNNING THIS COUNTRY TO THE MOST QUALIFIED TEAM OF ROMNEY/RYAN. This Country is already MESSED UP BY THE 2 UNQUALIFIED NUTS IN OFFICE NOW, WE CERTAINLY DON'T NEED 2 MORE UNQUALIFIED NUTS LIKE BARR/SHEEHAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO MESS US UP EVEN MORE. Hopefully this is just someones SICK JOKE and is NOT EVEN TRUE.
Oct 15, 2012
Hollywood elite at it's "best" what a combo for a team.
Oct 15, 2012
@Erica,
"Things is, Roseanne Barr is just plain evil and disgusting across the board."
I agree with you all the way Erica! Except that I would have to say that I have to agree to disagree with you on the second option. While I have nothing against gay marriage since that does not affect me in any way either, I have to draw the line at legalizing marijuana!
Oct 15, 2012
Anna Bella, you might WANT to learn a thing or two, such as spelling and grammar. You get your facts from a propaganda movie??? Wow. You think coal is the ONLY source of jobs and energy??? Why am I even arguing with you? You're just drinking the Kool-Aid. Celebrities like yours truly??? That means you're talking about yourself.
Oct 15, 2012
some people just like themselves wayyyyy too much………
Oct 15, 2012
NO! NO! NO! I sure as heck am not going to vote for this psychopath! Legalize marijuana? Is she retarded or something?
Oct 15, 2012
I don't think this is so crazy in the least. If you watched her show…which was very successful…it was about a very middle-class family; probably lower middle-class. They struggled with everyday life, feeding their family, paying bills, running a small business…just like most of America. And, even thought she had a team of writers, she was integral in the story lines. I mean, the show was based on her life before she became famous. You all are just so quick to judge just because she's loud and has a voice of her own and because she sings the National Anthem off-key? So what? Ronald Reagan made a bunch of bad movies and you took him seriously.
Oct 15, 2012
She's psycho and completely unbalanced. Would never vote for her.
Oct 15, 2012
You are so right Terry!
Oct 15, 2012
Tabitha, What insults? it is not insulting when you tell the truth. You have no idea what my politics are, but when someone says they hope other people get cancer and die, then that person is an idiot and anyone that supports them are also idiots and that is an insult that I am proud of
Oct 15, 2012
she ought to stick to what she knows…comedy…which sounds like her platform!
Oct 15, 2012
I would vote for this psychopath to be in office as soon as I go begging for a lobotomy! NOT! Crazy psychopath!
Oct 15, 2012
Roseannes a Dumbass like alot of Hollywood thats never lived in reality.
Oct 15, 2012
guess she's got nothing else to do with her money!
Oct 15, 2012
@cloud this is a public forum and she doesnt need to keep anything to herself. You've spoken like a true liberal Dem….freedom of speech remember!!! or are you ignoring the constitution to?!!
Oct 15, 2012
@Terry, she was making a comment in regards to the obvious gay slander that company made. Which is unprofessional and completely uncouth. What about Romney's pro-rape comments? Oh, how I like when those are cleverly ignored by his supporters when they feel the need to insult other runners.
Oct 15, 2012
Again, are we FORGETTING that Romney basically ENDORSED rape? Oh yeah. Vote him into office, the moron he is. Obama is by far the lesser of all the evils. Romney, by far the worst.
Oct 15, 2012
I'm with Suzanne. What the hell are smoking? Obama has done more than any previous plan and offer made by any politician. You Americans bitch about how he spent SO much money…..Yeah. Getting you out of the fucking deficit you guys dug yourselves into after you voted Bush in – MORE THAN ONCE. You vote an idiot like Bush in, someone is going to have to fix it. And Obama did a great job. You can thank him (and obviously his dedicated team), for America not ending up like Europe.
I wish he'd post a video, and all he would say in it is "You're welcome, America. You're fucking welcome."
Oct 15, 2012
Obama did more than Romney ever could ever do. Romney is all about the resources that are NON-RENEWABLE. What happens when America runs out? Obama, yeah…made some people lose their jobs. Because he was digging you out of the sad, sorry state you were in by paying off the deficit that the moron, that you guys voted in, caused. It could NOT have been done any other way. If you guys think you can do it better, then run for office. Apparently someone is (though she'd never get my vote if I could give it). But don't sit there and bitch about a President that dealt with more deficit than America has ever seen, and put you guys in a safe zone. Because…look at what happened to Europe. You have Obama to thank for not ending up like that.
But. Okay. Ignore all that, and elect the close-minded, pro-rape bigot into office. The man who believes that a rape victim can CHOOSE to become pregnant or not by the raper. Oh yes. Brilliant, smart, cunning man he is. [/sarcasm]
If you're dumb enough to vote Romney in, then you guys deserve everything you get afterwards.
Oct 15, 2012
I guess just like how Romney said rape victims are responsible for choosing to become pregnant or not by the perpetrator….. I guess THAT doesn't make HIM and idiot, and that anyone who supports him is clearly stable and clear-minded.
Give me a break. I'd vote the unstable Barr in long before I vote in a man who believes pregnancy by rape is a choice, and that equal rights do NOT apply to all.
But, just ignore that he said that. Or that he's going to screw over the middle class. Yeah, don't worry about that. Vote him in. Thankfully, the people who do support people like him will be gone in 20 years. And that's what our generation is banking on. Patience is a virtue, and soon this unrealistic conservative, and bigoted view of the world will be gone. Then we can move forward.
Oct 15, 2012
The whole nonsense of "a-disaster-will-happen-if-we-end-prohibition" sentiment sums up the delusional Chicken-L-little stance of those who foolishly insist on continuing down this horrendous blind alley. As if a disaster isn’t already happening? As if prohibition has ever worked? Literally not one prohibitionist argument survives scrutiny. Not a single one!
Under our present regime, these certain plants/concoctions/drugs are sold only by criminals and terrorists; the huge black-market profits are used to bribe and threaten law enforcement officials; the availability and usage rates tend to go up, not down; the prisons have become filled to capacity with easily replaced vendors or smugglers. This list is endless!
Law enforcement and rehabilitation are mutually exclusive. Would alcoholics seek help for their illness if doing so were tantamount to confessing to criminal activity? Likewise, would putting every incorrigible alcoholic behind bars and saddling them with criminal records prove cost-effective?
Prohibition is the most destructive, dysfunctional, dishonest and racist social policy in America since Slavery. Prohibition is a holocaust in slow motion. We MUST end it NOW!
Oct 15, 2012
Rob DeWolf I"ll bet you're still blaming bush too!!
Oct 15, 2012
I agree with you too, any of the Obama votes that can go to her will be in Romney's favor. I seriously doubt that any one who was going to vote for Romney will change to vote for her, because only the intelligent, hard working and people who lost their jobs will vote for him.
Oct 15, 2012
at LEAST she has the courage to express herself as an american. and wants OTHERS to be able to do the SAME. we have enough Smith and Jones and "old blood" freaks whose family tree only goes vertical… this country was founded on freedom she expressed the want of allowing us freedom once again. crazy or not at least SHE is willing to stand up for us. At LEAST SHE wants to fix the REAL issues not just toss them aside. Shes not tossing around RED HERRINGS like the other two, being dodgy and rude about our country. you think calling americans idiots is better? allowing a man who thinks rape is ok Then the other one who's a moron and just presses his faith around, WHO CARES WHAT FAITH ANYONE IS GO TO CHURCH AND PRAY SHUT THE HECK UP AND LET THOSE WHO WANT TO FOCUS ON OUR COUNTRY AND FIX IT DO THEIR JOBS
read up on socialism. not every socialist is about Nazis… you think ignoring corporations is a good idea? they look out ONLY for THEIR corporation NOT us the human beings who work in them for them or next to them.. its been said enough. why NOT have us look out for OUR COUNTRY. if our country ran itself like a corporation like so many people want it done we'd have a very bad situation on our hands… we NEED our country to worry about each and every person living and contributing to it. not just the 1% whose money isn't going towards anything but THEMSELVES.
Oct 15, 2012
Sure am, because he's the one that got you into the billion dollar deficit. Or did you just "forget" that? In all honesty, I don't care who you guys vote in as it doesn't affect me in the least.
I still like that you're ignoring my statement about Romney thinking rape is okay. I guess that goes hand in hand with the completely unintelligent thought to vote him into office. Goes to show who the truly uneducated, uninformed ones are in your country. "Let's vote in a man who believes rape victims CHOOSE if they get pregnant or not, and therefore cannot have an abortion! Because it was their CHOICE to get pregnant."
Right. Good luck with that. Again, 20 years, and common sense will take a hold again.
Oct 15, 2012
Well, if you knew anything about the drug wars, you would know that legalizing it would decrease the rate of violence that is caused by illegal dealing. Plus, it would be regulated to keep it safer.
Oct 15, 2012
Or make it more easier and legal for drug users to use it and sell it for their own nefarious purposes!
Oct 15, 2012
If it's legal, it would be sold in stores, like cigarettes. It completely cuts out the need for the "nefarious" drug dealers, which is why gang violence and other drug related violent crimes would go down. No one is going to buy it from a criminal if they can go to a gas station.
Oct 15, 2012
Who would buy drugs from a gas station much less any other place if it was drugs!
I understand that Marijuana seems to yield considerable medical benefits for many Americans with ailments ranging from glaucoma to cancer, but these benefits have not been accepted well enough, on a national level. I certainly wouldn't want a pothead running the country!
Oct 15, 2012
Stephanie Baker unless you're some loser pothead, you wouldn't need marijuana!
Oct 15, 2012
Rob DeWolf fist of all if you are going to blog something get your info right, Romney NEVER said anything about rape victims can CHOOSE to become pregnant that would be Missouri Senate candiate Todd Akin that said that. Obama had his 1st 2 years in office with COMPLETE party control to pass whatever he wanted to pass to supposedly get AMERICA BACK if he REALLY WANTED TO. Obama wants Americans to depend on the government so we end as a socialist/communist country. If you can't see that then you need to do some major research before you go to the polls and vote on November 6th. Get your facts right.
Oct 15, 2012
Well, when Akin and Romney are one of the same, and with no formal rebuttal…it's as good as if he said it himself. If he can't keep a lid on what his fellow party members are saying, why do you think he can lead a country?
And since when is Obama working towards communism? Give me some points that remotely prove that. Also…socialist?
"A socialist economic system would consist of an organization of production to directly satisfy economic demands and human needs, so that goods and services would be produced directly for use instead of for private profit driven by the accumulation of capital. Accounting would be based on physical quantities, a common physical magnitude, or a direct measure of labour-time in place of financial calculation.[5][6] Distribution of output would be based on the principle of individual contribution."
Oh, so he'd only be producing what you NEED, as opposed to useless shit heading to landfills, or feeding the overweight population. And as opposed to private profit driven by the accumulation of capital? That's the total OPPOSITE of what corporations want. But yes. Obama is ALL for the corporations.
Romney wants to remove equal rights for minority groups, and basically screw over the middle-class. Which as a "Full Time Wife & Mommy", Dee…I would imagine would include you. As I don't imagine you're rolling in millions. And if you are, it would come as no surprise that you would then be in support of Romney.
Considering Romney supporters are wearing shirts that say "Let's put the WHITE back in the WHITE HOUSE", excuse me if I'm a little weary of people voting in a complete bigot. Not to mention someone who can't get his facts straight:
"Like the vast majority of Americans, I've opposed same-sex marriage…" Except polls show that up to 60% of Americans aren't opposed to it.
Romney also wants to remove federal funding to Planned Parenthood, the LARGEST US provider of reproductive health services.
Romney wants to slash corporate tax..Obama wants to increase tax on the richest, and reform the corporate tax code. Obama wants to bring oversea jobs back to the US. Romney wants to decrease the regulation on the economy Obama placed on it…because that'll do a lot of good *eye roll*.
Obama wants to remove the troops from the Middle East, and now use diplomacy to establish a working government (which is what the people there want too). Romney wants to increase military spending and prolong this struggle that has gone NO where in the last few years.
And while Obama wants to focus on reduced spending on the military, and get rid of wasteful spending…Romney has just stated that he wants to cut federal spending across the board. Let's keep in mind that includes the education system, healthcare, and other programs that need the funding (like Planned Parenthood).
Oh, I've done the research. And if the middle class doesn't want to get screwed over, then Obama is the only choice. But vote for Romney. I'll watch as America crumbles.
Oct 15, 2012
http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/interactive/2012/09/20129308542614575.html
There's a good summary. And if Romney can't control what his fellow party members are saying, then he has no way of leading an entire country.
From what I see there (which summarizes the majority of what I've been reading as the campaign goes on), Obama is the lesser of the two evils. Besides, Romney wants to go backwards in the advancement towards equal rights. That just isn't a good sign. Period. At all. Ever.
If you really think Obama is leading you towards a communism, then get off your ass and do something about it. Or is bitching on a website all you can do, while you point the finger?
I'm glad to see that the actual sane, collected ones are voting for Obama. And not some bigot who wants to remove equal rights, and cut corporate taxes so they have more money to screw over middle class citizens.
Oct 15, 2012
No one is saying you do need it. People don't need over half the crap that's out there available to them. However, prohibition leads to crime, and violent crimes. I'd much rather see a decrease in violent crime in the country, then to see something like pot illegal.
Oct 15, 2012
Cindy Araya If marijuana was legal, it would most likely be sold like cigarettes. You can get cigarettes at a gas station..
America already has had "potheads" running the country. In fact "potheads" founded this country. Look up cannabis and marijuana use by our founding fathers. Heck, most of them grew it.
Oct 15, 2012
That doesn't that they should have! I would much rather have violent crimes be dealt with in some other form than by making something like marijuana a legal drug! Not all violent crimes are because of illegal drugs like marijuana! I would much rather fight violent crimes through some alternate method other than making illegal drugs such as this crap legal!
Oct 15, 2012
I was disgusted by her heartless and thoughtless comment!
Oct 15, 2012
Rob, first off, Cloud was referring to my calling anyone that votes for Barr a nitwit, she was NOT making a comment about chick filet 2nd where is the OBVIOUS gay slander? Chick filet says they do not believe in gay marriage, no slander there, just an opinion and a right to say inder our Constitutuion. 3rd please post a link where Romney says that a rape or incest victim has a choice about becoming pregnant. You won't because you can't, just like the chick filet comment, you heard something and chose to add your own slant on it. Typical liberal
Oct 15, 2012
the bigger question does she know she's one of the "evil rich".
Oct 16, 2012
I watched a few episodes (why it was successful is beyond me!) while they were middle class family for awhile until the season prior to the show being cancelled when they won the lottery! How is that middle class. She was integral in the story lines? Hmmm, do you mean that she imposed herself on the writers and forced them to write story lines the way she wanted? "The show was based on her life before she became famous?" How true is that I wonder? Ronald Reagan may have been an actor in bad movies but at least he was not low class or as brash as she is!
Oct 16, 2012
Dee, Romney may not have said anything about rape victims can CHOOSE to become pregnant, but that doesn't matter! Romney is a freaking sexist PIG!! His views on women is DEPLORABLE!
Romney, Opposes abortion rights. Previously supported them. Says state law should guide abortion rights, and Roe v. Wade should be reversed by a future Supreme Court ruling. Said he would end federal aid to Planned Parenthood.
OBAMA: Approved the raid that found and killed Osama bin Laden, set policy that U.S. would no longer use harsh interrogation techniques, a practice that had essentially ended later in George W. Bush's presidency. Largely carried forward Bush's key anti-terrorism policies, including detention of suspects at Guantanamo Bay despite promise to close the prison. Expanded use of unmanned drone strikes against terrorist targets in Pakistan and Yemen.
ROMNEY: No constitutional rights for foreign terrorism suspects. In 2007, refused to rule out use of waterboarding to interrogate terrorist suspects. In 2011, his campaign said he does not consider waterboarding to be torture.
Oct 16, 2012
I"m sure she does!
Oct 16, 2012
Not to mention, Romney has stated that "We don't have people…who die in their apartment because they don't have health insurance". How IGNORANT can the man be? Over 20,000 people die each year (that number found in 3 different studies) because they lack the coverage to get proper medical treatment.
If he's ignorant about that, who knows how ignorant he is towards other things. Oh right. He's ignorant about equal rights to LGBT people, women, and the rights of middle class citizens. Because GOD FORBID that they have medical coverage for the most basic of needs.
Oct 17, 2012
I, for one, support Roseanne in this attempt at putting REAL PEOPLE in the White House! It's about time someone who might actually do something for this country attempts to do some good and right for all the people not just the rich and illegal! We poor white people have rights too and I know I can't afford another tax break for the upper and middle classes!
Oct 21, 2012
Not totally correct but thanks for the links Cancelled the cable
Oct 21, 2012
Rob DeWolf,The way things are going now,none of us will be around in 20yrs,if Obama goes back in you will still be waiting on your social security check! But have fun waiting,because it will be bankrupt! Yes post a link or article from a reputable newspaper where Romney said that! You can't because it's not true! Left Wing Liberal Nut is as bad as Islamist hating Infidels!
