Roseanne Barr to run for US President

[Freddie Stubbs]

Source: RTE

Roseanne Barr says she is going to run for President of the US. The Emmy award-winning actress revealed her ambitions during the taping of last night's Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

"I'm running for President of the United States," said the controversial star to a cheering audience and a grinning Leno. Barr, who subsequently affirmed that she was "totally serious", follows such other Hollywood celebrities on the political trail as Donald Trump (who has since dropped out), Alec Baldwin and Kelsey Grammer.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Barr explained her reasons to a Tonight Show insider. "'Cause I want to be part of the debates, because I want to represent the tax payer. In fact, I'm choosing the tax payers as my vice president."

The actress and comedienne went on to tell Leno that she would not running as a Democrat or a Republican. "I'm not for either party because they both suck and they're both a bunch of criminals," she said. "So I made up my own party. It's the Green Tea Party."

1. The Dingbat Party? n/t

[Imajika]

2. /yawn...

These vanity "look at me, look at me" bids are a complete waste of time and never amount to anything.

[Raschel]

30. Like Palin's? She's influenced the hateful and greedy party. I wouldn't vote for Roseanne, but we

could use someone to come out and counter these idiots.

[AikidoSoul]

90. Not to mention the impossible task of ballot access -- with a new party

It is seriously daunting. If you've ever read Ballot Access News or checked in with Richard Winger who has been its director for many years, you would realize how fixed this game really is. But then, most DUers would have no problem with the idea of the game being fixed. It may be impossible to create a viable third party.

:-(

Edit to add the word "director"

[Imajika]

108. It is simply not possible to create a viable 3rd party...

...for any length of time in the United States. With a winner take all system and no parliament that allows for coalition building, we are just not set up for it. Very rarely it is possible that a 3rd party could rise as an existing party collapses, but that new 3rd party would simply become the 2nd of our 2 party system.

People need to let the 3rd party stuff go, it isn't going to happen.

Hate to say it, but our model is basically what the 'baggers are doing. Take over a party from within and inherit its existing infrastructure.

[No Elephants]

121. Democrats and Republicans have joined hands many times to make it harder

for a third party candidate to get on the ballot.


"Hate to say it, but our model is basically what the 'baggers are doing. Take over a party from within and inherit its existing infrastructure."

System is rigged against that too, though.

But, if you figure out a way to do it, please pm me.

[Imajika]

133. Well, the baggers are doing it.

"But, if you figure out a way to do it, please pm me."

Just follow the teabagger model. They are taking over the Republican party from within. Listen to Thom Hartmann talk about how they are doing it. It's working for the baggers, why shouldn't progressives take over the Democratic party in the same way?

[treestar]

3. LOL

Not with that voice. :rofl:

[awoke_in_2003]

74. Her first SoTU...

would be must watch TV :)

[roxiejules]

79. Here is her Presidential Campaign Announcement Speech

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x606618

[awoke_in_2003]

82. oh no...

she took on Colonel Sanders? We may have a problem here :rofl:

[ElboRuum]

4. A nation of unserious minds wonders why it can't get anything done...

This.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. She's pretty liberal and for the average person. And I doubt she's the type to get

talked over. I think she would at the very least be great to have on the talking head shows where the liberal side is always under- and poorly represented, provided she can back up her feelings on subjects with good info.

[ElboRuum]

21. Ah, more politcal theater and sideshows...

...not that this hasn't helped us immensely in distracting the media from the actual issues. Yes, what we need is a shock-style mouthpiece for the liberal set to create a fair and balanced appearance in the media 'discourse'.

Nothing against Roseanne, per se. But she hasn't done anything entertainment oriented of any note lately. A little stand-up from what I've seen. Don't be surprised if this is just a PR stunt to give a boost to a flagging career.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. I'm sure it very well could be, but as I said she might have something to contribute _if_

she can lay out actual facts rather than just feelings about things. *fingers crossed that she's got a good coach*

[ElboRuum]

25. I hope she's more serious about it than this sounds. I really do. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. I do too!

[dameocrat67]

103. I hope so too

we really need someone to represent progressive and working class views.

[Missy Vixen]

54. She has enough money to never have to work again

Frankly, I'd welcome a little uncensored debate, and that's what she brings to the table.

Good for her.

I look forward to hearing what she might have to say on the issues.

[ElboRuum]

94. So does Warren Buffett...

But he still works. Is it not at least a non-trivial possibility that she wants to work a little more high profile than she is currently? You say that like it's inconceivable people work for the love of the work.

If she's serious, then good for her, I'm on board. If she's not, I'll thank her for taking an already stupid political climate and making it more so, probably to the detriment to the serious players who already have a hard enough time getting a little face time with the public.

[Hestia]

134. She has a show on Lifetime Roseanne's Nuts - she bought a macadamian nut

farm/ranch and the show is about she and her husband and their over-the-top drama about the little things in life. Her son is actually the cool one in the family. He's laid back and wry as hell. It's okay, and is the first reality show I've watched. I wanted to see what she is like now and she seems drugged, hazy. She goes ape shit over the little things. Her husband seems to be a cool dude too. Neat place she has though.

[JackRiddler]

112. Oh, no! Political debate! Can't have that, it's theater!!!

What's the main show? The power elite murdering the New Deal? The banksters appropriating all disposable wealth through debt? The imperialists plotting the next dozen wars?

Let's be serious now, people!!!

[ElboRuum]

136. Yes. Let's. For a change.

Carnival sideshows aren't debate. The left complains about the "political theater" on the MSM all of the time. It's just another pointless distraction from talking about real issues and solutions to those issues. How is this any different? Oh. She's liberal. That makes stupid OK. We'll just call it satire and pretend its a little brainier than a good crotch-grab.

[YvonneCa]

137. The problem is the way this kind of thing 'plays' around...

...the world. Our image is already tarnished...thanks to GWB and the Tea Party. This just adds to it and makes us appear dysfunctional. We are trying to convince other countries that democracy is a good idea...not easy when our image seems ridiculous.

[ElboRuum]

138. True, but it also does the same thing to the domestic image of liberalism...

Which I believe is far more damaging when you consider we want people to start giving serious consideration to our political views.

[JackRiddler]

140. Oh, please. Actors are involved in politics and even get elected in countries the world over.

[YvonneCa]

141. I'm in California...

...I remember Reagan. ;) My point is not about her being an actor or a comedian. It's that the field of potential nominees...so far...doesn't seem serious. Donald Trump???Bachmann or Palin? Rosanne is probably more intelligent than those three put together.

BUT...is this the best and brightest??? We should be able to do MUCH better, IMO.

[pnwmom]

81. Oh great. Someone else to split the liberal vote. Just what we need. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

98. Yeah. :^( Too bad we have such a crappy election system, and that the current major

parties never bothered to address the problem of vote splitting. *annoyed*

[dbonds]

60. Because we NEVER had comedians run for president before

/sarcasm

http://www.paulsen.com/pat/ He's ran during the 70's also.

[Turbineguy]

71. Didn't Pat Paulsen

challenge Richard Nixon to a debate? "...And just to make it fair, I won't shave!..."

[dbonds]

84. That sounds familiar.

He made it one of the sharpest cutting edge satires at the time.

[proud2BlibKansan]

93. I voted for Paulsen in 72

Couldn't vote for Nixon and didn't like McGovern.

My first presidential vote. Still proud of it too. :)

[ElboRuum]

96. It's not because she's a comedian...

It's because there is a smell to this as though there might be a personal PR agenda in play. As I said to the other poster, if she is serious, then good, fine, awesome in fact. But I will use my FSM-given right to be skeptical until I see some proof of seriousness. Because if she is being less than serious about this, then she's just a distraction in a time where liberal thought already gets little enough airtime, and to have it seen as buffoonish (which is likely if she isn't serious) is just going to add to the problem we already have.

[dbonds]

101. Actually it works to liberal advantage either way.

Having her voice out there as a satire or serious is good.

[ElboRuum]

109. I disagree, but I hope I'm wrong. n/t

Call me later, we'll talk.

[CrispyQ]

6. The Green Tea Party - lol.

I like it. The idea of the coffee party went nowhere.

[Raschel]

10. Now she needs to get a PAC and go on tv and insult people. Just like Palin does, except

Roseanne's will be funny (and of course more intelligent). It'll be a political roast every week. lol

[roxiejules]

52. She took a jab at Jay Leno while announcing her run

"No, really. Barr said: "You know Jay, I decided that since you're the one that got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California, that I wanted to make my announcement here on your show because I really wanted to ask for your support. My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States."

[Raschel]

70. Ha ha. Good one! I doubt that she's serious, but it will be great to have her voice out there.

[left on green only]

104. It Probably Went Right Over Slack Jaw's Head.

[dbonds]

95. There is still the Tea Pot party that Willie Nelson is involved with

:) http://teapotpartyblog.com

[CrispyQ]

102. We Lean a Little to the Left

~lol! I hadn't heard of them before. :smoke:

[No Elephants]

122. I agree. That was funny.

[Snotcicles]

7. If there was one lesson the Dems should have learned from Ralph Nader,

it's when someone wants in the debates, hold the door open for them.

[Snotcicles]

9. Yeah I know, Nack Fuder. nt

[No Elephants]

123. What is the evidence that Democrats learned that? They still force networks

to ignore candidates.

[nolabear]

8. I might pay good money to see her debate Bachmann.

She'd slip that superego into neutral and call her names many of us would like to call her but couldn't do it with half the charm. :rofl:

[Raschel]

11. Love to hear her tear Palin to shreds. She might make her cry.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Yep. I would welcome her to the debates with open arms.

[left on green only]

105. I Wonder If She'll Grab Her Crotch As She Mounts The Podium?

[marions ghost]

12. I could vote for Roseanne

:rofl: she is a comedian, y'know. Colbert threatened the same thing. Franken actually did it.

I love it--Green Tea Party. Go Rosie!

Trust comedians to point out the absurdity of this charade of a government that is supposedly "for the people."

Roseanne Barr vs Michelle Bachmann -- that is the scenario this country DESERVES!!

[No Elephants]

124. Colbert tried. North Carolina interfered somehow. I've forgotten the details.

[SemperEadem]

13. great.. another idiot throws their hat in the ring

[Lorien]

41. She's a hell of a lot smarter than most politicans, but most men hate her because

she speaks her mind and isn't at all sexy.

I used to get into conversations with her on FB when she was there. She knows exactly what's going on and she has some good ideas about how to make the government work for working people. She used to be a Democrat, but she's more of a Socialist now.

[Lionessa]

47. I agree, Roseanne is exceptionally intelligent and against

many odds and is quite singly responsible for the course her shows take/took and had to fight them to remain in her control. She did well, she's quite informed and she seems to really care.

She'd be better than Reagan.

[treestar]

64. Starting at the top does not do anything

If she were serious, she'd run for local office.

[Vanje]

142. Like Ross Perot did.

[indurancevile]

111. she's intelligent & has a working class sensibility. i like her.

[think]

15. I love it! Running to raise discuss important issues and expose corruption is a good thing

Obviously Roseanne Barr doesn't have much of a chance to win. But she does have the opportunity to exercise her free speech and tell Washington to shape the fuck up! Hopefully she'll embarrass and put a spot light on some of the dirt bags who are selling America down the river.

[Raschel]

19. I'd love to hear her attack the bigots and hypocrites. She's got a sharp tongue, that girl.

[think]

16. dupe sorry nt

[Le Taz Hot]

18. Laugh if you will but currently,

she's my frontrunner. LOVE the Green Tea Party idea.

[Renew Deal]

29. I bet she is.

[Le Taz Hot]

33. Why not?

We're both overweight, middle-aged, loud-mouthed opinionated women -- basically everything K-street, the MSM and society in general detest. And DAMNED PROUD OF IT I might add. :evilgrin:

[Renew Deal]

35. Rosanne looks pretty good

It's amazing that the years have gone by.

[Missy Vixen]

55. Wooo-hoooo!

I want in! I'm overweight, middle-aged, loud-mouthed and opinionated as well. And I VOTE.

>And DAMNED PROUD OF IT I might add.<

Absolutely. It took me over 50 years to learn all this shit!

:woohoo:

[awoke_in_2003]

80. Except for being male...

I am right there with you.

[Missy Vixen]

83. C'mon in. The water's fine!

I'll bet Roseanne would love your support as well!

:woohoo:

[awoke_in_2003]

87. well, it would be nice...

if someone could steer the conversation toward the left for a little bit.

[A Simple Game]

48. She's my front runner also.

Is there another candidate that more closely matches the Liberal agenda?

No more voting for the lesser evil. I am from now on voting for the best candidate no matter what their chances are. If you don't vote for the best candidate, how can they win?

[bulloney]

20. She can sing the national anthem at her inauguration.

[cheneyschernobyl]

23. Amen to that!

That's the last time I heard her voice; hopefully will never hear it again.
:scared:

[woodsprite]

24. and she's got balls! n/t

[PassingFair]

126. Um, those would be NUTS.

[CrispyQ]

40. ...

:rofl:

[digitaln3rd]

26. She'll fit right in with Congress, I think.

After all, she's used to working with jokes for a living!

[Renew Deal]

27. "Green Tea Party"

:rofl:

[kentauros]

51. Well, it would be full of "free radicals"

:P

[cbdo2007]

28. Half the people here will vote for her just cause they seen her on the TV.

[RC]

34. And the rest will end up voting for her because she is better than anything else we have going.

[Lorien]

42. +1. The TV quip is ironic, given that half the people in GD:P fawn over Obama

because he's on TV and looks "cute" in swim trunks. :eyes:

[RC]

45. Good enough reason for some to vote for him. Nothing else really matters to them.

[Bluenorthwest]

49. I'd support her because I have spent time with her personally

during politically 'interesting' times and know her to be righteous, informed, intelligent and fully stocked with courage. Although she has a reputation as being demanding, her demands sought quality, and always went up the ladder. No one I have had contact with in my professional life is more aware of and thoughtful towards others of lesser status. A generous person, in the truest sense of the word. Also, she's so quick of wit that she would be great in debates.
I can say to DU that being with her during Bush related horrors was much like being with DUers during such times. Only funnier.

My personal, actual, face to face opinion of her is about as good as an opinion of mine about another person can get. She is far more than her TV image. And I can tell you that, personally, from me to you. One degree of separation. For what that's worth.

100. and her twitter ...

:)

[Kevin Cloyd]

97. Glad you spoke up

I always got that vibe from Roseanne.

She has been divorced as many times as Newt, she's a better actor than Reagan, a better rancher than W. and funnier than Palin or Bachman...who don't try to be funny but can't help it.

Probably has magic underware from growing up in Salt Lake that could match Romney's magic undies story for story.

And seriously, would you really want to piss her off if she was Commander in Chief?

Picture Roseanna and Texas Governor and likely soon to be candidate, Rick Perry in a debate. Roseanne would fu@# him up.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

99. +1 for an INFORMED opinion

[dreamnightwind]

116. Thank you for that - eom

[Le Taz Hot]

118. I don't know her but I've seen her on interviews

and I thought she came off as highly intelligent and very aware of the impact Washington's decisions have on the poor and the middle class. She's certainly not as clueless as our current batch of Congresscritters and she sure as hell couldn't do any worse. At this point I'm dead serious about my vote .

[Vanje]

144. LOve her!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

145. why did she go GOP about 8 years ago?

she made headlines for attending fundraisers for the chimp not too long after 9/11

[Le Taz Hot]

119. And you would know that how?

I managed NOT to vote for Reagan and NOT to vote for Der Gropenator because they were idiot puppets.

[No Elephants]

125. Gee, you have that much respect for your fellow DUers?

[earcandle]

31. Would be refreshing and stir up shit. Just before we wll go to Freedom Plaza on Oct 6 and start our

Tahir Square moment. Go girl!

[bitchkitty]

32. Oh, great.

A stupid-ass reality show wasn't enough?

[madamesilverspurs]

36. Ah, makes one wistful

for the days of Pat Paulsen. . .


-

[Gidney N Cloyd]

38. Her new show's ratings tanked badly since the premiere. Guess she needs to stir the PR pot a bit.

[onehandle]

39. The ultimate reality show, Palin redux. But a far better person in every way. nt

[felix_numinous]

43. I'd like to see her against Palin and Bachmann in a debate any day.

Now that would be sat is fy ing. They wouldn't know what hit them.

[iamthebandfanman]

44. oh god, DU whiners are the worst.

at least shes drawing attention to the fact that liberal minded people aren't happy.

at this point, we need all the help we can get.

[Fearless]

46. +1000!

[treestar]

62. Doesn't look that way to me

She seems to be saying both sides, and everyone, are "criminals."

Does not seem to be favoring the left at all.

[Modern_Matthew]

65. It's how everyone that isn't blinded by label loyalty feels. nt

[TBF]

72. They all are criminals - she's right about that. nt

[No Elephants]

127. She did not say both sides. She said Republicans and Democrats.

[philly_bob]

50. Love Rosanne, but this is dumb, a distraction. (nt)

[shanti]

53. love it!

:rofl: hey, if jesse ventura and ahnuld (not to mention raygun) can run, so can roseanne. i saw a ventura video where he was talking about TPTB wanting to know EVERYTHING about how he came to run and win as governor of minnesota. they never saw him coming.

if roseanne really did run, and actually got votes, TPTB would destroy her. i'd give her my protest vote though.

[gauguin57]

56. If she's not running as a Dem. or Repub., she can't be part of the debates ... at least not

... at least not the debates on TV.

If she were a Dem., she'd be the Al Sharpton of the Dem. debates.

[gauguin57]

57. If she suddenly came up with good, solid proposals on how to fix the economy, ...

... I'd listen to her. And I'd advocate that she be allowed to have a forum to speak.

But if she's just running around acting crazy ... well, then she can be this year's Pat Paulsen (though I think I could vote for Pat Paulsen over some other candidates these days!)

[Missy Vixen]

59. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can fix the economy

Bill Clinton presided over the biggest peacetime expansion of our economy in history. His plan was simple: TAX THE RICH.

Roseanne's rich. Somehow, I don't think she'd mind paying a little more so some single mom with three kids and working two jobs might have things a bit easier.

Ending the three wars might go a long way to fixing that economy as well. We're burning half a million dollars a minute that we KNOW about.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

146. tax the rich, repeal NAFTA and GATT, make stuff in America, pay people high wages to do so

problem solved.
only problem is, CEOs would make less, so it aint gonna happen.

[crazyjoe]

61. She can't be a politician, she isn't a blood sucking lawyer

[No Elephants]

128. Why do you think it is that the RW hates lawyers and loves doctors?

[crazyjoe]

132. I give up, why?

[Modern_Matthew]

63. Why so cynical, DU? I know it sucks we elected an R sporting a D, but c'mon... lighten up. nt

[AsahinaKimi]

66. Omg, I turned off her TV show, why would I vote for her?

I keep thinking of the time she sang the national anthem at a baseball game. Bleh, no thanks.

[emilyg]

67. Same here.

[Missy Vixen]

85. She recently sang the National Anthem at a softball game in Hawaii

She did a good job.

I'd rather have someone brutally honest about herself and her past mistakes (and willing to make amends,) than the current crop we're looking at.

[mainer]

68. I've seen her on Bill Maher. She's not dumb.

In fact she's a pretty smart cookie and she's also a liberal.

[roamer65]

113. Delete.

[IcyPeas]

69. another one making a mockery of the U.S.A.

[No Elephants]

129. You're kidding, right?

Welcome back to DU.

[Taverner]

73. THIS is what's on the Greatest Page?

[Atypical Liberal]

75. I think I might actually vote for her.

Anything that would get me an actual left-leaning president would be welcome.

[OneGrassRoot]

76. The Green Tea Party! LOLOL n/t

[southmost]

77. She'll be furfilling the request for a crazy left wing party candidate

if only she could funnel a lot of $$$$ to counter the Koch bros' tea party

[FreeBillClinton]

78. People under 30: Rosanne who?

[No Elephants]

130. Yeah, right. Just like people under 30 don't know who Lucille Ball was.

[Jim_Shorts]

86. She is self confessed mentally ill, so she would fit right in Washington

And it would be worth the price of admission to watch the repugs try to blackmail her, I'm sure we would get some memorable sound bites.

[Autumn]

89. She is one sharp lady. I hope she does run.

It should be one hell of a good debate.

[proud2BlibKansan]

91. Awesome!!

We've needed a Pat Paulsen candidate for some time now. Can't wait to buy a t-shirt.

[Ian David]

92. Roseanne Barr / Brett Butler 2012!

:sarcasm:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

106. She's sharp and funny.

Her latest book is ROSEANNEARCHY: Dispatches from the Nut Farm.

She has a macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.

:rofl:

She will be very entertaining!!!

[Still Blue in PDX]

107. She's brighter and better informed than many politicians, but isn't she overreaching a bit?

Seems like she should have to pay her dues like Palin.

:sarcasm:

[TNLib]

110. I hope she does run and gets lots of publicity.

She'll bring issues that effect the working class to the forefront.

[roamer65]

114. She's got my vote.

[Raine]

115. FINALLY a candidate I can support

a true liberal! :thumbsup: Of course she'll never get anywhere. :yoiks:

[dreamnightwind]

117. Go Roseanne!

I joked about her as a celebrity that could kick some serious tea party ass a couple of days ago in some "primary Obama" thread, had no idea she would run though.

I've seen her talk politics a number of times on the tube and she's impressed me. She speaks her mind and has an unguarded honesty to her thinking and speaking that cuts right through all of the crap we're supposed to accept as conventional wisdom. I'd vote for her over Obama in the primary if she was running as a Dem.

Still hoping for a serious and unowned candidate to primary Obama from the left, someone who will expose these center-right policies for the unimaginative products of corporate greed that they are. If no such person steps forward, maybe Roseanne can help explain liberal policies in a simple, direct and unapologetic message that might connect with the unconverted.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

120. She can't. She's from Hawaii...Not a state, right? nt

[No Elephants]

131. She was born in Utah.

She's from Hawaii, not Utah like Obama is from Chicago, not Hawaii.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

139. it was just a joke

[ecstatic]

135. So many people saying she's their "frontrunner..." and we wonder why

this country is such a mess? Do you know anything about Mrs. Barr? She's a nice woman, and she's funny. But really? Is that all it takes? Next time you wonder why this country is so f*cked up, just look in the mirror, seriously.

[Le Taz Hot]

149. The reason this country is so fucked up

is that we keep electing corporate whores posing as R or D. What? She could do worse? Really????? I'd vote for her not because she's a "nice woman" and "she's funny" but because she's highly intelligent and she's politically astute. I like the straightforward manner in which she speaks and with her, you'd never get a bait-and-switch pol like we did with Obama. Sorry, but I don't see a damned thing wrong with any of that.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

143. Which party is Roseanne in this week?

She was a liberal in the '90s, attended Bush fundraisers in the early 2000s, then backed Hillary in 2008. Now she's with the Greens?
She's all over the map and her politics as as erratic as her career choices since her sitcom ended.
She jumped the shark around the final season of her show and has just been downright weird ever since.

Still, she's more credible than Trump, who we should never forget led the GOP pack at one point.
That's the difference in liberals and conservatives. They embrace their nutcases, where we keep ours on the fringe.

[Vanje]

147. A fantastic recent interview with Rosanne Barr on Democracy Now

150. Great link!

I defy anyone to watch this and tell me again how unqualified she is. Articulate, thoughtful, insightful . . . The clip reminds us that her show was the first one featuring a homosexual kiss (she threatened to walk when the network said they would refuse to air it), the first show about a working class family, they tackled feminism, spousal abuse, abortion and that was in the 1980's and 90's. This is truly a good series of clips. I urge anyone who hasn't to go to the link and watch her.

151. I've seen a little bit of her TV show and don't know too much about it

but I'd prefer HER for sure over (coughhcough) Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann. This probably is less serious than Arnold Schwarzenegger announcing his candidacy on Leno's show and winning a recall election whose candidates included porn actor Mary Carey and Diff'rent Strokes actor Gary Coleman. Wonder how many people will write in Roseanne if that's possible?
