Green Party candidate was on state GOP payroll. That's right, the GOP is financing the Green Party

So it turns out the corruption by the GOP knows no bounds after all. It turns out they are financing Green Party candidates.

Which makes third party voters dupes for the corrupt GOP.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A man who registered as a Green Party candidate for Montana’s U.S. Senate race was on the state Republican Party’s payroll and heads a newly formed anti-tax group, according to a review of election documents.

Timothy Adams filed as a challenger Monday against Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, who faces a tough re-election campaign, in a race where a Green Party candidate could siphon votes from the Democrat.

You guys are just biased!
This is in fucking Montana? Do you really think this would make even the slightest bit of a difference?

Trump & the GOP are gunning for Tester so I figure it will be close. A percentage point either way could be a big deal.

It's extremely sleazy no matter how you look at it.

This should serve as a warning to all those people who insist that you 'must' vote for a third-party candidate if you don't like the two-party system. Hint: the Republicans are counting on you to fall for that ploy, because it usually favors them. If you want Trump out, you must vote Democrat; there are no other acceptable options.

I would say this equally corrupt to Democrats spending money to support Republican candidates in an effort to game the jungle primary system in California, but I don’t recall there being quite so much concern over that.

The Democrats spending money to support John Gabbard comes to mind.

Amazingly fucking stupid. You make Forrest Gump look goddamn brilliant by comparison. Even the corrupt, bible beating horse fucking GOP leadership in Montana is smarter than you.

Questions you should be asking yourself and answering from the OP story rather than looking stupid:

1. What is this election for? (US Senate)

2. Is it a tight race between the GOP and Dems? (Yes)

3. What branch of government are the GOP deathly afraid of losing control of this November? (Congress, of which the Senate is one part of)

4. From which party would a Green Party candidate likely siphon votes from? (Do I even have to fucking answer this?)

Not even close, the so called Green Party candidate is a republican, not a longtime member of the Green Party. Was a Dem running as a Libertarian against a Republican Incumbent? Not the same no matter how hard you try to BothSidesIt.

Try to understand that while others will make fun of you because you are incapable of logical reasoning, it would be best if you don't allow this to make you even more defensive. You have a conservative brain defect that prevents you from seeing facts that reflect badly on what you have identified with to provide self respect. Real self respect comes only from within and not on external identification and any free of that will not disrespect you. You just threaten liberal self identification as people who are rational. They are just able to be more rational is some areas than you are, this being one example. Their terror of your irrationality and their contempt of that is their problem. There is the reality of your irrationality, and there is the reaction people who can see that have. It is not facts but our reaction to them that determine our emotional state. In some cultures death is a solemn affair but for the Irish a time to party. Attitude is everything. Free yourself from party affiliation. You are much greater than any party. A party is just a bunch of dreams in your head to make you feel better, when in fact, there is nothing really wrong with you. Sadly, what we feel and what is real are often two different things.

While these are both examples of electoral shenanigans in this case the person seems to be lying about what they stand for in order to trick the voters. That’s pretty scummy.
