Freepers are at the center of the Tea Party movement. What we saw in 2008 was almost a perfect split here between supporters of all the various candidates. Romney, McCain and Huckabee all had strong support blocks. Ron Paul was probably over-represented vs. his total vote-get in the primaries. Thompson had a lot of support initially. Only Rudy seemed universally panned.
Tactically as we are nearing the utter and complete collapse and failure of FDRs New Deal it might be better to leave “the one” in place if things haven’t finished cratering in 2012.
I am completley convinced that we need to wake up in the gutter before we start our recovery. Obama is the PERFECT figurehead to sit on top of the Welfare State as it collapses.
