The distinction is in the scope of the thread. This thread has now become primarily antagonistic towards Mitt Romney followers by virtue of the reduced scope. Prior to the change in the title, the scope could have been antagonistic towards all RINOs, which is what the GOP needs as well as what FR needs. Instead, it’s just a beat-up-the-Mitt-followers thread..If JimRob wanted to clean house of RINOs, he would have kept the thread more general in scope. But it appears he’s just irritated at one particular group of RINOs.

I believe that this thread is a follow-up to this one:

Jim has posted a number of threads that address the possible candidacy of Romney in 2012. I'm afraid I don't understand why limiting the criticism to Romney and his fans is an issue.

***Because there are a lot more RINOs than just the followers of Mitt Romney. It’s RINOs who crossed over and voted for Obama in the last election. Instead of rounding up the whole herd of them, JimRob is picking off the stragglers. The net effect with that approach is to make the herd stronger, rather than weaker.
