Roseanne Barr: 'I'm Going to Run for President on Behalf of Tax Paying People'
In case you were worried about the future of the United States, your problems have been solved.
On Tuesday evening, while filling in for Joy Behar on HLN, comedienne Roseanne Barr announced that she's running for president (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MICHAEL MOORE: Start supporting this.
ROSEANNE BARR: Start, yes, start being active. Right? Start being active.
MOORE: Yes, but not just going to demonstrations. You need to organize your neighbors, your churches, your schools and can I just say --
BARR: Yes, but we`re running out of time.
MOORE: Can I just say this into your camera? Some of you need to run. You need to run for office.
BARR: I`m running. That`s what I was going to ask in the next --
MOORE: You need to run.
BARR: -- in the next segment. I`m going to run for President of these United States.
MOORE: Wow.
BARR: On behalf of the tax-paying people.
MOORE: Wow.
BARR: I`m thinking about it, anyway. On this Red Bull.
Let's hope this isn't just the Red Bull talking.

Oh thank God! Our problems are solved!
Could do worse
Submitted by John21 on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 11:28am.
We could have a president with no knowledge of government (only voting present on any import legislation).
No experience with the economic policies (spending money like a drucken sailor) during a recession/depression.
No experience with foreign policy (bowing to every other leader he meets) leading to no recognizable policy.
No experience in military policy (but getting us into another conflict by what every name he can dream of).
No experience at environmental policy (but standing by watching the worse environmental event this country has seen).
No experience at energy policy (but killing coal, oil drilling, nuclear and thinking his fairy dust will power all).
No experience at transportation ( but spending money on unions to continue failed companies (GM)). Wasting more money on "Cash for Clunker" failure.
No leadership capability
No birth certificate.

No birth certificate.
I'm offended.

Spelling aside...
Drunken sailors spend their OWN money!

Helluava way to start my morning here in 'paradise'............looking at a couple of the ugliest (in every conceivable way) people around!!! Oh, and Barr is about as qualified as Boy Blunder was, so why not??? And why do all of these morons want to claim that the will represent the 'tax payers', when we know what they really want???
"About," Killa?!?!

She is MUCH more qualified than Oblahblah, even with his two years in the office!
Even though she's only half the woman she used to be (What: down about 200 lbs, you think?) she is way more qualified than Barry, and I'll bet she'll show us hers.
NEW PARTY...
Submitted by JPTSO3 on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 11:38am.
Party affiliation? The Nutzy Party? It would be delicious if she ran as a Dem and came dressed to debates in a Nazi uniform, sporting an Adolf mustache.
Barr at the top of the ticket
Moore: Vice Nut
Charlie Sheen: Secty of Crazy
Dennis Kucinich: Ambassador to Mars
Improvement:
Submitted by Comrade Jim on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 11:48am.
That would be an improvement over the Democrats who run on behalf of the non-"taxpaying people."
Also, Michael Moore could run more and eat less. Reduce his carbon footprint and all that.
Cabinet

Roseanne - POTUS
Cynthia McKinney - VP
Cindy Sheehan - Secretary of State
Sean Penn - Head of Treasury & Budget

I'm sure there will also be jobs for Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Danny Glover

Finally - she said something funny
Submitted by Slyrr on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 11:54am.
I've never thought Barr was any kind of comedian - until now. The joke of her running for President has got to be the only funny gag she's ever put forth in her entire misbegotten career.

What is it with cocaine users wanting to be POTUS?

Goth, it's called delusions of grander. Hey, maybe that's what Obama's problem is, he's a druggy. Nah, Obama is just narcissistic.

Submitted by Tenebrous on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 7:02am.
Cocaine makes you feel like you can do anything. It is the drug of choice (in various forms) of powerless, small people who act out like infants in their rage. That they would seek to be president as the ultimate way to get back at society makes sense.
As a little-known historical fact, Hitler was a serious cocaine user.

Tax Paying Citizens?
Submitted by CarolinaJimbo on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 1:55pm.
So, Roseanne has joined the Tea Party and is running as a Republican? The DemTard Party represents the %50 of the population that DON'T pay taxes.
Roseanne is too fat to be POTUS

After so many years it's refreshing to hear her finally say something funny. I am a taxpayer, and I definitely don't want her representing me in any way, shape or form. Is it just me, or do they both look like old homeless people?

Submitted by MikeB on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 3:58pm.
You go, Rosie girl! And, when you lose in the Democrat primaries, run as an independent. And, Ralph Nader can run on the Green Ticket. Kos can run on the Communist Party ticket. And, we can have Ted Kennedy run for the Necro-Americans on the Dead Party ticket for all the dead libs spinning in their graves over the stuff the Kinetic Kenyan (ht to thepeoplescube) has done in imitation of W, and Vincente Fox run on the illegal immigrants ticket. That way we can split all the core Democrat Party voting blocs so that a conservative, possibly Republican candidate can win the election.
It takes a poor person
Submitted by Ashrak on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 4:20pm.
to run on behalf of poor people if poor people are actually to be effectively represented.
See, rich people think we need more taxpayer funded programs to "help" us. How wrong they are.
Rossanne - we don't need more wasteful programs, heck we don;t need the ones we have. We need to have government get out of the way, with its taxation and its regulation, so that we can more easily and effectively MAKE OUR OWN MONEY so we can pay our own way.
It pisses me off when rich liberal pukes think they know what my poor ass needs or even wants. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Poor people don't demand handouts, leeches do. Poor people don't scream gimme your money, they say government has to stop taking everyone's money away and running everyone's business. Leeches say take it from them and give it to me.
Like the other Rosie, this one thinks she knows more than she actually does.
