Stop blaming the Greens for a f**ked up, undemocratic system

'Cause you're just blaming the victims, while doing nothing to address the "spoiler" issue.

As Lindsay points out in Peek, TPM Muckraker figured out that it was conservative supporters of Rick Santorum who funded the $40,000 signature drive to get Green Party candidate Carl Romanelli on the Pennsylvania Senate ballot.

Shocker. Even though it's happened time and time again.

And, of course, on cue, the liberal bloggers are pulling out their knives.

Holden at First Draft, begging for a shot to the kisser, asks: "Is there any magnet for whores in this country larger than the Green Party?"

The non-evil Roger Ailes repeats the conventional nonsense that Nader was responsible for Bush and now cries about tricky Rick Santorum courting a "Selfish Green Rogue."

John Aravosis at Americablog also blames Nader for not one but "two Bush presidencies," and demands that the "Green Party candidate return the money and pull out of the race." (Recall how snippy John got when some of his readers had the nerve to question his ethics for accepting a bloggers' trip to Amsterdam paid for by the Dutch government.)
