Concord Monitor Editorial: Romney "Must Be Stopped"!
Sun Dec 23, 2007 at 02:30:33 PM PDT
In perhaps the first of its kind, the Concord Monitor (N.H.) has done what every media outlet should have done numerous times over the past several months: call out Mitt Romney for the absolute two-bit lying degenerate phony he is instead of treating him as some adonis-like President-in-waiting...
Why is it so hard for newspapers and media outlets to do such a thing?
In any case, this anti-endorsement is a thing of beauty and should be read and shared widely....and yes, that sound you just heard was Jonah Goldberg and the rest of the doughy pantload columnists at the National Review (they of the Romney endorsement)throwing up their egg nog at holiday parties inside the Beltway.

Here are some choice quotes from the editorial:
If you were building a Republican presidential candidate from a kit, imagine what pieces you might use: an athletic build, ramrod posture, Reaganesque hair, a charismatic speaking style and a crisp dark suit. You'd add a beautiful wife and family, a wildly successful business career and just enough executive government experience. You'd pour in some old GOP bromides - spending cuts and lower taxes - plus some new positions for 2008: anti-immigrant rhetoric and a focus on faith.
Add it all up and you get Mitt Romney, a disquieting figure who sure looks like the next president and most surely must be stopped.
....The blistering closing says it all:
When New Hampshire partisans are asked to defend the state's first-in-the-nation primary, we talk about our ability to see the candidates up close, ask tough questions and see through the baloney. If a candidate is a phony, we assure ourselves and the rest of the world, we'll know it. Mitt Romney is such a candidate. New Hampshire Republicans and independents must vote no.
