Roseanne will run in 2012

Roseanne Barr said Thursday she's running for the Green Party's presidential nomination — and it's no joke.

The actress-comedian said in a statement that she's a longtime supporter of the party and looks forward to working with people who share her values. She said the two major parties aren't serving the American people.

"The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants — bought and paid for by the 1% — who are not doing what's in the best interest of the American people," Barr said.

The Greens already have an excellent candidate in Jill Stein. I hope that they will not allow this celebrity to usurp that.

She wasn't able to take the Green Party nomination, but she's going to run anyway! (For president, anyway.)

Following Wednesday's news that rival Jill Stein had clinched the Presidential nomination of the Green Party, Roseanne Barr announced on Twitter this afternoon that she would continue her campaign for President of the United States as an independent with her own so-called "Green Tea Party":

    I will run as an Independent- 4 'Green Tea Party'-an American Woman's Party-based on Green Markets, Sustainability, Social Safety Net/peace

The famous comedienne conducted the deliberations leading to her decision publicly today on her Twitter account.  The decision seems to be at least partly motivated by her feeeling that the national leadership of the Green Party has colluded to to give Stein the nomination by playing favorite in state nominating contests:

heard rumors that green party MAY have broken its own rules in Cali-in NY, in Hawaii-by going out of its way 2 aid Stein-

Glad to hear that Stein prevailed. There will be one candidate on the ballot that I actively support.
