GREENS - DON'T TAKE THEIR BLOOD MONEY!

Republicans Sponsor Green Candidate in PA Senate Race
By Paul Kiel - August 1, 2006, 3:31 PM

It's worse than we knew. Is the Green Party candidacy in the race for Rick Santorum's seat a wholly Republican sponsored affair?

As reported today by the AP and the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Green Party managed to get their candidate Carl Romanelli on the ballot with a costly petition drive, which was mostly funded by contributors who had also given to Rick Santorum's campaign. The party raised $66,000 for the effort, all of which they spent on a private company to collect signatures. TPMmuckraker was able to establish that at least $55,000 of that came from conservatives.

Virginia Davis, Santorum's spokeswoman, told the Inquirer that their office had encouraged the contributions. Why? Because a challenge from the left is seen as a liability for the Dem candidate, Bob Casey.

Greens - It's blood money!

If Rick Santorum is re-elected becasue of a split on the left I'm gunna be @&^%%^$#&^%$ pissed OFF!!!!!

i know, probably too late for that....

were we are still under this naive notion that the American people should decide these things. Thanks to a helpful media though, even if we tried some crap like this the Republicans would be able to exploit the hell out it.

Goddamit people - now is not the time for a third party. Someday in the future that would be great...but not now. I swear to christ if that shithead is relected becasue of a split of the left vote, I'm gunna drive to the Green headquarters, take downn my pants, and unleash the mother of all shits on their steps.

the fact is its not feasible right now. Way too many things have to change first. The Greens would be much better off forcing their agenda and energy on getting more liberals to support democrats who support their platforms. We have a big enough tent. But for the love of God ensuring Republican wins is not the fucking answer.

we ever want things to change. If they can change, since the black box machines make me doubtful we'll ever win a meaningful eletcion again.

Obviously, I must be off my meds. Off to find my happy pill and watch Dancing with the Stars or some shite.

and this isn't the first time they've done so.

It was unnecessary. Their candidate was already assured a fair showing from women who don't trust Casey on choice. This may drive them to write in a socialist, instead.

sorry I'm so upset but ANYONE but that snot nosed little prig Santorum.
