Jimmy McMillan, founder of the Rent is Too Damn High Party, has joined the Republican Party.
No longer a single-issue candidate, he claims to want to put pressure on Obama to focus on economic issues (like the rent). He has a new slogan: "The deficit is too damn high." And he plans to run for president.
How about that.

I love how he thinks that Republicans in office give a sh^%& about the folks who can't afford rent. lol.
Oh, goodness. It seems he's a fame monster.
I don't think that he is particularly in line with Republican ideals; he seems to be just trying to find a way through which he can bring attention to what he considers to be the major problems (high rent and high deficit). In the video, he asserts that he doesn't identify himself as conservative; rather, he keeps saying he's representing the Rent is Too Damn High Party, and he's merely running under the Republican Party's name.
For every person that makes government officials look stupid, there's another person who makes them look like geniuses. The power of democracy! McMillan 2012!
Um... this guy is running for President? That's just wrong. I fear for the state of politics.
Heh. The "Democratic Party sucks," according to Mr. McMillan. Well, I'm guessing that the Republican Party will suck for him just as much, if not more because his line does not conform at all with the Republican party line.
Well, I guess that he has now joined the ever-increasing pool of crackpots for the Republican nomination. Seriously, the Republicans need someone better than this if they want to win in 2012. Although I agree with his ideals of lowering the deficit and the rent, if that is all he wants to do, with nothing dealing with foreign policy or other important domestic issues, very few would be inclined to vote for him.
I find it funny that he's changing to the Republican party because he feels that Obama is talking about the politics and not about the people. Does he really believe that by switching to the Republican party all the issues will finally be solved? I don't really think so. I think he is just trying to get attention and also running for president? I don't believe he would even do a good job because it's not as easy as it seems.
This is surprising, to say the least. To echo the other commenters, I still don't understand why he thinks joining the Republican Party is going to help. So is he going to run for president on the Republican ticket? If he seriously thinks that he's going to win the Republican nomination, let alone the presidency, I kind of feel bad for him. (I hope that doesn't sound condescending...)
I can't believe this guy is back, hes funny and all but that's about it.
