Anti-war activist and wacky progressive Cindy Sheehan let it be known that she would back Roseanne Barr, famous for being Darlene Conner's sarcastic mom, for President on the crunchy Green Party ticket. Noting that the Green Party is "not entirely functional," Sheehan says that, even though Barr isn't part of the 99%, the comedian would still make an excellent great candidate.

In a recent blog post, Sheehan writes:

Many people have a misperception about Roseanne, but she came to San Francisco to support my campaign when I ran against Nancy Pelosi in 2008 and I have had a chance to meet with her, hang out with her and interview her a couple of times on my radio show. She is also bright, articulate, well-informed, even more progressive, and even though she is not a member of the 99%, she knows our tune and can sing our hearts.

I have heard rumors from GP insiders that Barr is not a "serious candidate," but I can also attest to the fact that she is a very introspective and thoughtful person that would not be doing this if she were not, "in it to win it."

To really change things for the better for the 99%, I am convinced that we need a united leftwing worker's party instead of so many different factions of basically the same program and that will take working our fingers to the bone between elections--not just every four years presenting a few different candidates. Personally, I have not decided whom to support (if anyone) in this rigged Federal Electoral Industrial Complex sham of "free elections," (I am slightly more interested in Venezuela's elections in October), but I can tell you one thing for sure: this One Party politburo that infests and infects the halls of power needs to be stood on its head and kicked in the ass and Rosie is the person to do it, if ever there was one.

Barr, as you may recall, announced her bid for U.S. President in the 2012 election in August. "I decided since you're the one who got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California, I wanted to make my announcement here on your show," she told Jay Leno during an interview. "My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States."
