Santorum vows to crack down on internet pr0n if elected
2012-03-15
Internet pornography could conceivably become a thing of the past if Rick Santorum is elected president.

The unapologetic social conservative, currently in second place behind Mitt Romney for the GOP nomination, has promised to crack down on the distribution of pornography if elected.

Santorum says in a statement posted to his website, "The Obama Administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws."

If elected, he promises to "vigorously" enforce laws that "prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier."
Considering all the other problems our country is facing, more regulation isn't something it needs. This is also something that will turn off independents and small "l" libertarians (like me) that still vote with the Republican party. More proof of why Santorum will NEVER win if he is the Republican candidate.
Mr. Santorum complains because the MSM won't let him talk about the economy, but when he gets a chance to talk he talks about sex instead.
Lost me right there, buddy. ABS="Anybody but Santorum." Unless it's B.O., of course. But it's not gonna be Santorum, specifically for stupidities like this.

#11  With this sideshow going on, and the rest of the Pub candidates beating on each other instaed of Bambi, i have almost given up on Bambi having to move out of the WH for another 4 years. But i can only hope that the House and Senate races put enough R's in the seats to stop Shiiteforbrainz from doing any more damage. Maybe then some adult will come along and show them all how to play nice.

#10  I think that it is pretty well accepted within the IT industry that a very high percentage of all innovations in on-line technology originate in the pRon industry.

I recall reading something once that claimed that the same thing applied to printing technology, as in: Gutenburg created moveable print, and started cranking out bibles. That technology was then rapidly developed and improved upon - by the pRon industry, such as it then was.

#9  The last thing Americans need is more nannys. Get a grip man or give it up. It freaks people out. Rick, you need to regroup and fast.

This is the very thing we ARE NOT paying the democrats to do. You sound like them, dude.

I knew you were too dense to hack it but were the last hope. Time to look for Senators instead.

#7  Yes, stupid. You're never going to get rid of it. However, you can put a crimp in it by removing any and all copyright protection. Bringing new meaning to 'free' speech.

#6  Internet pr0n? Really? Great. He can be the local preacher. As the current occupant of the White House should have been. Meanwhile, where might we find someone with presidential priorities?

#4  #3 Santorum is not a Republican. He's a theocrat, a national socialist in favor of economic controls and censorship.

I think you exaggerate way too much; and besides, even if that were the case, it puts him at the same point regarding socialism as Obama and Romney and their respective -Cares.

#2  Santorum's only value is to prevent Mitt from getting a majority of delegates.

#1  Good job, Rick. Another distraction from Obama's handling of the economy. Flailing around to try and build a social-con base while alienating or de-energizing independents. Putting his own lame self-interest above beating Obama.
