Newspaper: Romney "must be stopped"

    Must be stopped is fine. You have to take that language in context of the Iowa caucuses or New Hampshire primaries. Politicos -- and voters -- in those two states fancy themselves as their party gatekeepers. They aren't supposed to let bad candidates win those early contests and become bad nominees.

    Taken within that context, "Must be stopped," is a call to the New Hampshire voters to not let a bad candidate through their primary, not any kind of call for physical action.

    "Romney must be stopped" is a bit extreme. That could be considered a callout for the whackos.
    "Lying sack of hot steaming monkey crap who got himself elected governor of our neighbor to the south" is at least a little more accurate.

    Depends on the layout and point size, Fenian.

    It's not like the GOP's really gonna let this guy anywhere near their ticket, right? He'd get what, 35 percent of the vote? Maybe 40 if 5 percent of Americans are high on paint fumes on Election Day.
