"It has been revealed that the libertarian candidate for governor in Virginia, who is siphoning votes away from Ken Cuccinelli, was funded by an Obama campaign bundler. Meredith Jessup of the Blaze reports:
A major Democratic Party benefactor and Obama campaign bundler helped pay for professional petition circulators responsible for getting Virginia Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Robert C. Sarvis on the ballot - a move that could split conservative votes in a tight race."


"Austin, Texas, software billionaire Joe Liemandt is the Libertarian Booster PAC's major benefactor. He's also a top bundler for President Barack Obama. This revelation comes as Virginia voters head to the polls Tuesday in an election where some observers say the third-party gubernatorial candidatecould be a spoiler for Republican Ken Cuccinelli."

whats the point. according to that logic, romney shouldnt have been the gop nominee since he's a liberal.

just because some national review site says sarvis is a liberal, doesnt mean he is.

Did you read the story? Must not have.

Here is the part you neglected to read, or just ignored in your reply, hoping that others would simply take your word.

Indeed.

Addendum: In case the original single-word content of this post wasn't enough to make my point, here's the Libertarian Booster PAC's web page: Scandalous Libertarian Donators

your saying sarvis is a plant because he got money from a dem bundler.

the koch bros, big time conservative bundlers have sent money to conservative candidates and causes, yet are pro immigration reform.

your basically saying i cant support who i want. it has to be a dem or republican.

weak argument. sarvis says he's a libertarian, libertarians usually get support from the left and right.

Perhaps - I thought it was simply a confusion between the word "liberal" and the word "libertarian".
