...but it seems a man of Mensa stature could explain how one loses
all the political races he entered, 0 for 10, I believe
I suspect Jim Senetto doesn't want an answer, and is just trolling
again. I think, though, that it is a good idea to give him an
explanation and putting it here. That way it doesn't turn into "Karma
Bombs"-type story, as I can just give him the link instead.
(1) First, I was running as a Libertarian. Libertarians hardly ever win
elections because they don't have the money or manpower (and they don't
have the money or manpower because it's known they don't win elections).
A winning campaign can cost anywhere from $100,000 to over $1,000,000;
even U.S. Libertarian Parties can't afford that, and Canada's LPs are
much smaller.
(2) Second, in all but 2 of those campaigns I was running just to help
preserve the party's ballot access. (There was a federal law, now struck
down by the courts, that a party had to run a minimum number of
candidates each election.) In all but one of those I spent nothing; in
that one, I spent about $100 on newspaper advertising, and got 1,000
votes for it. Nowhere close to $100,000.
The other 2 campaigns, I was running as Party Leader in a byelection.
While I did get a campaign of sorts, with signs and pamphlets, I doubt
it cost more than $1,000; the party used the campaign for its own
fundraising, and kept the money for itself. Again, not even close to
$100,000.
I should add that, even if I could raise $100,000 to spend on an
election campaign, I wouldn't waste that kind of money on such a risky
gamble [see (1)].
, and then winds up
being in the Doc/Zod posse, defending idiocy.
Perhaps Dance is just not what he says he is...smart.
I'll await the eighteen page answer.
Thanks

Next question: Why support fools like Dockery and Sulzbach having a Mensa mind with supposed superiority.

So let's drop all the qualifying elements (politician, Mensa member) and ask the question straight out:
George Dance, why do you support a pair of illiterate trolls who constantly spam, bump, necropost, whine, attack and otherwise disrupt AAPC?
