Every single doner to a Green Party Campaign fund was made by a Republican
It goes without saying that Republicans are supportive of liberal third parties because of how they water down the Democratic vote, but there have been very few instances where every single doner to a Green Party campaign (save one, the candidate himself) is affiliated with the Republican Party:
OK, we’ve done it. We’ve nailed it down: Every single contributor to the Pennsylvania Green Party Senate candidate is actually a conservative — except for the candidate himself.
The Luzerne County Green Party raised $66,000 in the month of June in order to fund a voter signature drive. The Philly Inquirer reported yesterday that $40,000 came from supporters of Rick Santorum’s campaign (or their housemates). Also yesterday, we confirmed that another $15,000 came from GOP donors and conservatives. Only three contributions, totaling $11,000, remained as possible legit donations.
Why am I not surprised that this happened in PA, home of Rick Santorum? In fact, several people who donated to the Green Party were closely connected to Santorum. What sleazy politics.
