we must work to elect those people who are honest and principled and if the candidates we select are not of the republican party, too bad.

Such as? Name one present 3rd party candidate for any office that has ever been elected to anything so his record as an elected official could be examined. How do you know how Pat Buchanan would act if he ever found himself in power, or Browne or Phillips or Keyes. They have the luxury of never being held accountable to voters. They can take unyielding stances in the sure knowledge that they will never have to live up to them.

[Browne et al] can take unyielding stances in the sure knowledge that [he] will never have to live up to them.

So true. But it's really a money-making game for him and others. There is wealth to be gained running as a perpetual loser candidate whose rabid supporters will fork over dough no matter how marginal the candidate is.

In a perverse way, the more powerful the liberals become, the more money Browne et al stand to make. His doofus supporters vote for losertarian candidates, thus ensuring even more liberal Democrat victories in close races, increasing liberal power and influence over our lives, which merely ratchets up the losertarian anger quotient even higher, causing them to redouble their commitment on behalf of their loser candidates. The pocketbooks open up and fat-cat perpetual losers rake in the money.
