(Addressed to the non-losertarians on this thread:)
Losertarians are into a form of mental masturbation of a most insidious kind. On those rare occasions when they can actually get the attention of mainstream Republicans, they enjoy the negative attention that they get.
The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again, expecting that "maybe this time" one's actions will produce a different result. For the last 50 years, the Losertarians have been running against the Republicans, and throwing elections to Democrats, all in the professed effort to get the Republicans to "notice" them and thereby get the Republican party to move to the right. It hasn't ever happened, but still the Losertarians keep doing it.
Because they are insane.
The simple fact is, no rational Republican candidate is going to adopt what the vast majority of the American public would consider to be extremist positions in order to capture their 1%-2% of the vote. Sure, a candidate who adopted thier positions might get that 1%-2% of the vote. But they would lose 10%-20% on the other end of the spectrum.
Those are the facts. But the Losertarians don't want to confront those facts. They would rather pretend to be "pure," and then try to provoke Republicans by adopting irrational, irritating, holier-than-thou positions on threads like these in order to get their rocks off.
Stop talking to them on this thread. Don't pay any attention to them whatsoever. It only incites them to further acts of insanity.
Fortunately, based on the precincts whose votes still need to be counted, it appears Rossi probably will squeak out the votes he needs to be elected--without the Losertarians.
Can I hold my breath? What precincts still need to be counted?
