Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich All Promise To Ban Porn
February 13, 2012
By Jason Easley


The top three Republican presidential candidates pledged a war on porn today which means that they have promised more action to ban porn than to create jobs.

The conservative group Morality In Media is head over heels today after all three top Republican candidates promised to go war against the distribution of porn. In a written statement, Rick Santorum said, “Federal obscenity laws should be vigorously enforced. If elected President, I will appoint an Attorney General who will do so.”

Not to be outdone, Mitt Romney gave a statement to the group that said, “(I)t is imperative that we cultivate the promotion of fundamental family values. This can be accomplished with increased parental involvement and enhanced supervision of our children. It includes strict enforcement of our nation’s obscenity laws, as well as the promotion of parental software controls that guard our children from Internet pornography.”

Then we have Newt Gingrich, who wasn’t satisfied with a written statement. In a face to face meeting, Gingrich told Morality In Media that, “Yes, I will appoint an Attorney General who will enforce these laws.” The existing laws that each of these candidates were referring to are federal laws that they and Morality In Media feel make the distribution of pornography illegal.

Each candidate has a different reason for taking this position. Rick Santorum is a true believer. Mitt Romney is shamelessly pandering and trying to prove that he is a real conservative, but the real jaw dropper is serial adulterer Newt Gingrich promising to ban the distribution of porn. If anyone knows firsthand about the dangers of porn, it’s Newt.

The party of small government doesn’t want to put people back to work. No, their most pressing priority is to arrest people who distribute porn, which really tells you everything you need to know about the current state of the Republican Party.

We have had the war on poverty, the war on drugs, the war on terror, and if a Republican gets elected president, we will have the war on porn.

2. Mmhmm

And all that confiscated material will be stored in their garages. For our own protection, of course.

3. There goes at least 1/2 of their base.

4. That just may a wedge issue that could gain traction

with the basement-dwelling, Cheeto-eating crowd.

5. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight . . .

None of them would do shit. Pure pandering, even for Santorum, who might genuinely believe it but knows full well it's a non-starter.

6. They could start by returning their campaign donations from porno kings and then

tell Rupert Murdoch to kiss off.

Don't hold your breath waiting for either.

7. Different people have different ideas about what is obscene. What the GOP is doing to the working

class and the poor is much more obscene than porn.
