Paper Gives ‘Anti-Endorsement’ to Romney

MILFORD, N.H. (AP) - The Concord Monitor broke with political tradition Sunday, telling readers in the state with the first presidential primary why they should not vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney instead of whom they should support.

In a scathing anti-endorsement that called Romney a “disquieting figure,” the New Hampshire newspaper’s editorial board said he looks and acts like a presidential contender but “surely must be stopped” because he lacks the core philosophical beliefs to be a trustworthy president.

In particular, the newspaper noted the former Massachusetts governor’s change of heart on such issues as abortion rights, stem-cell research and access to emergency contraception, as well as on signing an anti-tax pledge.

“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,” the newspaper said. “Mitt Romney is such a candidate. New Hampshire Republicans and independents must vote no.”

Paper Gives ‘Anti-Endorsement’ to Romney

Thank you Lord, finally, a newspaper in America that has the guts to call it like it really is…

You know, some of us have jokingly expressed the desire to see a ‘None of the Above’ option on the ballot, and actually, it’s not as much of a joke as a lot of people think it is, in many ways, it’s a much needed option…

Romney is a ‘smiling Jack’ that comes on a lot more like the stereotypical used car salesman than he does a Conservative anything, the entire Republican field, except for Duncan Hunter, is pretty much a crowd of weak sisters and we’re going to be left with the choice of voting for the lesser of 2 evils once again, just like the last several presidential elections, and by God, the American people deserve a lot better than the lesser of ANYTHING…

The American people are going to be faced with a tremendous task in the next election, and I don’t believe that Hunter or Thompson will make it thru the nomination process, unless they land on the ticket as a VP running mate, Tancredo has already dropped out, endorsing Romney as he went out the door, causing me to lose ALL respect for him, and the RNC accepts some moonbat like Ron Paul as a Republican candidate, folks the Republican field is nothing to write home about, no matter how you cut it…

Without a doubt, we will be better off with a Republican president, even the very worst of the RNC (Giuliani) is better than anything the DNC is throwing up this time around, but it does my heart good to see an American newspaper take a stand against one of these non-Conservative RINO asshats that’s making a run at the White House…

I personally can’t vote for any of the top 3 Dems, Clinton, Obama or Edwards, there’s no way, I see nothing but empty suit with Obama, Hillary is a joke, she was a joke when Slick Willy was Prez, and Edwards just makes me sick, and it breaks my heart to think that the current crop of RINOs running this time around are the best that the RNC can come up with…

That None of the Above thing, strangely, it’s starting to look better all the time…

Suppose they threw an election and no one came?? Think about that…
