Santorum: making PORN illegal is one of my goals

[SunCoastBlueHen]

If one person is affected that way, it's a contributing factor.

Not if two are affected the opposite way. To me, it doesn't make sense that anyone would be affected either way (more violent or more passive) toward women by porn. Then again, I'm somewhat normal.

[dbackjon]

Where was this 'outrage' when the 'progressives' were banning salt, trans fatty acids, Happy Meals, etc?

Pretty sure you can get all those...typical conk know-nothings...


Damn those liberals, though, for trying to keep people healthy

[youngterrier]

I'm not. They just address those same claims on the show.

I tried pulling it up on YT, but work did a kick save. I seriously doubt there have been many reliable studies one way or the other on this topic. It's only logic that would tell you that it is a contributing factor to those issues. If one person is affected that way, it's a contributing factor.

That's like saying Nuclear bombs are a contributing factor to violence in the world, when in fact if anything they prevent massive wars from taking place.

What a stupid fuck... the nation is drowning in debt, the economy is in the tank, the price of gas is a huge burden on the average family, we are stuck in Afghanistan, and he's talking about banning porn??????????

Jeezus H. Christ man, get a fucking clue!!!!!!!! Nobody except the most ravenous god freaks (maybe .1% of the population) give a flying fuck about banning porn.

Talk about taking your eye off the ball.... but then again, if he was a good or smart politician he may still be in the senate.

Rick Santorum wants to put an end to the distribution of pornography in the United States.
"America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography," Santorum's official website reads. "Pornography is toxic to marriages and relationships. It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking."
The former Pennsylvania senator states that, "as a parent, I am concerned about the widespread distribution of illegal obscene pornography and its profound effects on our culture."
Santorum criticized the Obama administration for turning "a blind eye ... to the scourge of pornography" and for refusing to enforce obscenity laws.
"If elected President, I will appoint an Attorney General who will do so," Santorum writes. "While the Obama Department of Justice seems to favor pornographers over children and families, that will change under a Santorum Administration.

Porn saves marriages

Many women consume it too.

Utah leads the nation in porn consumption.

Link?

The funniest thing about this is that obscenity is already against the law.

What more does he want? "Pornography" is not really a legal term ... obscenity is. Does he intend to make existing laws broader?

In this study that only used data from one subscription porn site..
And as noted, Utah has the highest percentage of 15-24 yr olds, so given that I'm only mildy surprised that they came out on top.

Actually I would have guessed Alaska, and they're listed at #2.
-I believe they have the highest percentage male to female ratio of any state.
-Look at their top industries (in no particular order)- oil & natural gas exploration & drilling, fishing, tourism, logging, mining, military..a lot of majority men roughneck industries.
-Nov-March most of the state is brutal cold with little sunlight. Got to have stuff to keep you entertained indoors.

Santorum is just pandering for votes. He knows that there is zero chance of porn becoming illegal for adults. Most presidential primary contenders have proposed things they know have zero or close to zero chance of becoming law. Obama did it to. This is much ado about nothing.

+6.93. I wish one reporter with a brain or some Joe the Plumber guy would ask this question to all the candidates. Why are we talking about porn, contraception, abortion, etc. when we have real problems.

It will be a real problem to some if they take porn away.

Because they don't have the answer...

Because the ONLY way to save this country is to scarfice. Eliminate spending, cut spending, raise (collect) revenue, etc... They don't want to fix the problem, they only want to benefit from it.

Pretty sure you can get all those...typical conk know-nothings...

Pretty sure?
Transfats were banned in NYC in 2006 and a ban on salt is in the works now.
Happy Meals were banned in San Francisco in 2010.

Typical uneducated knee jerk reactionary Donks...

Damn those liberals, though, for trying to keep people healthy

..and I thought you Donks were pro-choice.

You don't want the government in your bedrooms, but you invite them with open arms when it comes to directing what you can or can't put on your plate.

Nice job, jon.

[CID1990]

Tell me again how the rabid right doesn't want to set up a theocracy based on their **** up version of Christianity?

Stop being stupid, Jon.

Most conservatives (like me) aren't going to vote for a guy who is going to shut down our porno. Just like most liberal like you aren't going to vote for Jesse Jackson if he runs again. Quit being Chicken Little.

Plus, Santorum can't anything about porn any more than he can do something about alcohol or dancing.

[Seahawks08]

You know what the saddest thing is about all of this? Santorum would be in the lead and possibly be the GOP nominee if Gingrich wasn't in the race. That's absolutely pathetic if you think about it. How this nutcase can be coming so close to the most powerful job in the world is astounding.

That's exactly what I said in 2008.

8 of the top 10 porn consuming states are red and Utah also happens to be the #1 gay porn consuming state. Conks need to let their hair down a little, get down with their bad selfs. Santorum is jeopardizing the conservative closet gay porn vote.

[AZGrizFan]

Cap'n C just won't even consider climbing on the Santorum band wagon now..

Sad..

My first thought as well, Wedgie.

[mainejeff]

There goes the heterosexual male vote. Santorum is toast.

Santorum is just pandering for votes. He knows that there is zero chance of porn becoming illegal for adults. Most presidential primary contenders have proposed things they know have zero or close to zero chance of becoming law. Obama did it to. This is much ado about nothing.

Pandering for WHAT votes???? He's already getting THOSE votes.
