“Is there a list of which GOP candidates to bash and praise respectively? And who makes up that list?”

We bash the liberals here and praise the conservatives.

Read the list that Jim posted at the start of this thread.
It has plenty of liberal pukes for a starting point.

More can be added.

So, correct discussion of candidates at FR bashing/praising respectively depending on a list that JimRob will promulgate at various times?

This is problematic, because one doesn't know how a candidate will turn out. For example, Cantor has been discussed here as a possible conservative candidate. But he joined the despicable National Council thing, that prompted this thread.

Is Cantor on the must-bash list? If not now, he might eventually end up on the list, and then the Freeper is blindsided, caught supporting an officially proscribed RINO.
