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.

The Green Party qualified as a political party in Montana on Monday, which was also the state’s deadline for candidates to file for office. Green Party officials blasted an email that morning to solicit candidates who could register by the day’s end.

1. What I thought is now confirmed. They were, and are, working FOR Trump & Republicans.

Say no more.

This explains their happy tweet that the Republican in some race last Tuesday was winning.

2. I wronte a long post the other day about Nader and Stein being financed by Republicans.

The above post may lead to more info on that. We will see.

4. I'm not seeing it in your Journal (not 2 wks back). Not journal-worthy "wronting"?

8. I looked too, but it must have been a response to a post..Sorry I was wrong.

It must have a response, and not an original post.. I looked but cannot find it among my original posts.. Sorry for misinformation.. I didn't mean to lie or mislead, and I was wrong.

11. It's alright. You were forgiven instantly & can stop beating your head.

When you "wronte" any post you can put it in your journal and it does not have to be an Original Post. Few of my journal entries are OPs.

13. I found it...Oh My..I found it ...yes, it was NOT an original post....It was post number 5..

It is at this link, at this discussion on the Green Party..(It is way down the line of posts...) if you hit the link:

5. I often wonder where the money came from for Nader and that other jerk Stein...

I often suspect that the money was somehow laundered to look like it was from certain individuals, but in reality it came from secret Republican sources. These sources worked with fake organizations and people to look like they were real, but the reality it was from very rich Republicans who set up the scheme in the first place....If it was done carefully with a whole lot of effort, who would really know where the money came from?

...If it were moved around and Stein lost, as did Nader..who would do the research to check out the real sources of the money? Stein and

14. thx

9. There was a post a couple of days ago, re-posting a tweet by a Green org., being excited ...

about the Republican taking the lead. There was much discussion there about WHY. One poster tried to suggest that it's becuase the Green Party is against the 2-party dictatorship. I pointed out that that's not true because (1) A dictatorship has ONE dictator, not two; and (2) if that org. was against the 2-party monopoly, it wouldn't be HAPPY that the Repubican was winning.

I wonder if Susan Sarandon knew that about Stein, when she pushed her as a candidate? That Stein had Russian connections and was funded by the GOP?

22. They're working for the FUCKING RUSSIANS

3. USA Green Party has devolved to the color of money. Sell outs to Pave-The-Earth RepubliConMen.

Conned by the RubleCons, from the top down, starting with Jill "Moscow Shill" Stein.

5. Green Wave!

7. rethugs Have to Cheat to Win

Intelligent politicians would reconsider and revise their platform, but not the reichwing!

10. Nifty little scam there ... GOP SOS waits til the last day to approve the Party for the ballot ...

Then 'Greens' have to 'scramble to find' a candidate, so that way if Timothy Adams get's 'outed' as a Repuke in Greens clothing, the party can claim 'but we had no TIME, we couldn't VET, had to do it that day! We didn't KNOW Adams was a GOP Mole! OOPS! Oh well, too late now, he's on the ballot, sry!'

BTW, do we know Adams was ACCEPTED as the Greens candidate, or just that he applied?

12. At this point any vote that isnt for a denocrat in a non primary election

21. There are no real 3rd Parties in this country. Only Republican stalking horses.

23. What a piker!

He should move up to the presidential level and then get in on the Russian gravy train. Complete with a dinner with Putin.

I am still astounded that in 2016 there were folks on DU defending Stein have that meal with Flynn and Putin. That won’t be happening again. Greens are now know as ratbastard traitors.

25. Update and actual news

Adams filed to run in the Green Party primary, which he lost by a resounding 60-40 margin. It then turns out that the Green Party candidate who won didn't qualify to be on the ballot. So there will be no Green Party candidate on the ballot in November.

28. That was close. Thanks for the update!
