Roseanne Barr: ruining the Green Party’s chances in 2012

Only the most infantile, selfish politicians go on to petulant third-party runs after losing their party’s primary election. So it should come as no surprise that:

Comedian and 1990s sitcom star Roseanne Barr will be among a dozen presidential candidates on the ballot in Florida in the November 6 election…

The Emmy Award-winning Barr, who turns 60 next month, announced her presidential candidacy in August 2011 after losing the race for the Green Party’s presidential nomination.

She’s running on the “Peace and Freedom Party” ticket:

Barr’s California-based Peace and Freedom Party and a number of other small political organizations are running candidates against Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney in the swing state.

…The Peace and Freedom Party has a platform calling for the legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage and Barr’s running mate is Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war activist who grabbed national attention by staging a long-running protest outside of former President George W. Bush’s Texas ranch.

That they’re splitting the Green Party vote doesn’t seem to matter to Barr and Sheehan. I wonder why they hate the Earth so much?
