Now, see it in action.

First, read Doc's post below:

And then take a gander at this from Talking Points Memo:

GOP Donors Funded Entire PA Green Party Drive
By Paul Kiel - August 2, 2006, 4:00 PM

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. Today, I confirmed that those came from GOP sources.

As much as I hate to say it, this is just good politics. The fact that it might work says more about the voting public than the republicans who are trying to work "within the system" to win an election.

Santorum is a freak. Remember this one? They lost a baby at 20 weeks. Crappy, but then it degenerated into lunacy:

Rick and Karen Santorum opted not to bring his body to a funeral home. Instead, they bundled him in a blanket and drove him to Karen's parents' home in Pittsburgh. There, they spent several hours kissing and cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings, ages 6, 4 and 1 1/2. They took photos, sang lullabies in his ear and held a private Mass.

And then he compares homosexuality to "man on dog" sex.

He's a freak

Shed, I know *why* the GOP is doing this. They want to win, and winning is the only thing that matters, not how you win. They know they can't win a battle of ideas or character, so they use the fact that the voting public is easily decieved. It really is quite sad. I'm hoping this publicity gets Green party folk to recognize that they're being duped, but I don't hold out much hope.
