I heard it awhile back I guess on youtube and someone was asking her questions and asked a couple times what should be done to the bankers, and she gave a comedic answer. Sarcastic if you will. People don't always get that I guess

Actually, and I'll have to look it up, this was an interview with a Russian commentator, in a more or less serious interview.

She's a crass idiot and her platform/promises even more so.

Quote:

Her platform as expressed Thursday on the microblogging site included a promise to institute "#Europeanstyle" single-payer healthcare within the first 100 days of her term, and to forgive all credit card and mortgage debt "by kicking out the FED-those to whom all this fake debt is owed."

Can anyone explain how personal debt is fake? People didn't go out and run up their credit cards buying iPads and going out to dinners that the couldn't afford?

Quote:

“I’ll forgive all student loans, all debts,” Barr said. “There’ll be no more money, no more money systems. Everything will be based on barter and growing and eating vegetables … People can’t eat money.”

She also said she doesn’t believe in marriage and that “the legalization of marijuana is number one” among her priorities, along with an “end to all drug wars.”

Barr was equally direct when it comes to foreign policy. “I think we should invade Mexico because they’ve got oil,” the actress explained. “And then we just annex them and then we don’t have people sneaking over here anymore.”

Promising everyone jobs, eliminating taxes and money in general...she is obviously delusional. What a joke.

I wonder when the last time was Roseanne has actually seen a vegetable, much less eaten one.

I don't believe that is a fair representation of my comments.

What I said is that I would welcome Roseanne Barr's candidacy, simply because of its potential to harm President Obama's re-election chances, if not for the fact that Hawaii is certain to go Democratic anyway--it may hardly be considered a swing state--so I view her candidacy with indifference.

Still, it is perhaps possible that she could drain off a handful of votes in a few purple states, and ultimately help the Republican nominee; which would be a development that I would look upon gleefully...
