Jill Stein, 62, an internist from Lexington, Massachusetts., blasted both Romney and President Barack Obama, saying both had become too dependent on donations from corporations in order to acquire office at the expense of the nation's citizens.

"We need real public servants who listen to the people -- not to the corporate lobbyists that funnel campaign checks into the big war chests," Stein told applauding supporters at a Holiday Inn in Baltimore. "That's what brought me to the Green Party, the only national party that is not bought and paid for by corporate money."

Stein acknowledges that her candidacy is a super long shot. Still, she notes that a growing number of people are expressing frustration with the two major political parties and she...

And to think, they had a chance to pick Roseanne Barr but passed it up.

(I got the pic from her website, though it's the same one credited to the AP with the article)

Just saw 10 seconds of this coiffure-challenged, clueless Commie on CSPAN.

Snapped off the TV and lit a giant Tire Fire in my backyard....

She looks eerily similar to many female drivers with either Deval Patrick, Barack Obama or Elizabeth Warren bumper stickers on their vehicles.

An internist at 62? Ya think maybe she has a problem completing a task? She has a problem with Obama and Romney taking corporate funds? Right, from the Green Party one would only expect that funding would be obtained by floating junk science as a means of stealing money from idiots who don’t know any better.

So, who does she bleed more votes from, Obama or Romney?

Ralph Nader won Florida for Bush and saved the nation. Give her credit, she may save the nation herself.

‘Internist’ as ‘Internal Medicine Specialist’ not as beginning ‘intern’!

It’s always good practice to have a mountain of tires in the backyard ready to be set alight for just such occasions.

Excellent forethought; we could all learn from your example!

Darn, I was pulling for Roseanne Barr...

Imagine a Barack, Romney, Barr debate....

Maybe she could sing the National Anthem again to get the debates started....

An internist is not the same as an intern.

Funny...I looked her up on the Massachusetts Physician Licensing Board's website.Not much of a doctor,it would seem.No office...doesn't accept any insurance...not taking new patients.I wonder what she does these days to amuse herself? Or to make a living? Working for "the cause",perhaps? Living off the trust fund,perhaps?

Jill Stein,Trust Funded Revolutionary

Interesting. She doesn't accept Medicaid, either.

Harvard grad, though, and has a published article to her name:

In Harm's Way: Toxic Threats To Child Development, Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics Vol 23 (1 Suppl) S13-22, 2002 Feb.
