EV is targeting Mitt. The host of FR, JimRob himself, is fairly anti-Mitt. On other threads he has mentioned Mitt as the number two priority for demotion out of the top-tier, after Giuliani. So Mitt abuse is okay on FR threads, apparently.

I don't make the rules, I just freep.

And I agree with JR 100%. Free Republic isn't politicsoverprinciples.com. If you want that, I hear Hugh Hewitt has a blog...

FReepers have always targeted liberals.

I think JimRob had other candidates in mind for 2000 as well.

However, if Romney pulls off the nomination, he will be an improvement on Rudy and an improvement on McCain, and definitely much better than Hillary or Obama.

So, he may mirror his 2000 pragmatism and go with the better candidate in the general election, even if his preferred second tier candidate doesn’t get the nomination.

OTOH, we have not had 8 years of Clinton to galvanize us like we did in 2000. And that may be our undoing.

Having half a cake, we got greedy and wanted it all in 2006 and ended up with none.

I noticed David Letterman has taken up regular Mitt-bashing. He must feel Mitt has the best chance of bringing in a GOP win in ‘08.

Personally, I like Duncan Hunter’s views. Too bad he seems to be a long shot at this point.
