GOP Platform pushes "War on Porn"

[houndawg]

looks the conks put the fvcks to the Ron Paulies.

Ron Paulies are Conks......

mighty unhappy ones, too..

Conks want less government for the same reasons criminals want fewer cops.

Yeah, fiscal responsibility is a difficult concept to grasp. Households and companies that spend more than they make eventually have to make difficult choices in order to keep from going the way of the dinosaur. Keep the cops, get rid of a few dozen czars and their minions to fund it. Crazy concept, but you can have a functioning government infrastructure that builds roads and bridges, provides police and fire service, and doesn't have an overwhelming need to get their collective tentacles into every aspect of our lives.

Union pinkos.

...MIM says the platform’s “new language replaces previous platform wording, which only opposed child pornography.” According to the press release, the GOP’s new wording will explicitly state that “current laws on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced.”“Distribution of obscene or hardcore pornography on the Internet is a violation of current federal law,” explained MIM’s President Patrick A. Trueman. “Yet, most children in America have free access to obscene pornography as soon as they learn how to use a computer. The average age of first exposure to obscene Internet pornography is now eleven.”

So the GOP wants to enforce the laws currently on the books.... OH THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, internet porn SHOULD be harder to access. Parents should be able to feel secure that a child can't type "pussy" or "dick" into a search engine and be able to see images unfit for their eyes at a certain age. That's reasonable... this is about protecting children and families, not about taking away your precious fuck movies.

C'mon guys, you should be better than that.

Wow BB, talk about not jiving with your otherwise solidly conservative record.

Yay, I can let the government do the work for me, determine what's porn, block it, and I can put off being a parent on more issue.

I doubt if they really push this. It's probably just a plank put in to the platform to appease a group that feels strongly about the issue.

They shouldn't have put it in. The message it sends is that the GOP doesn't want less regulation, rather, it wants to pick and choose what gets regulated. That's fine, but they should be honest about it. Don't tell me that you want smaller governement and less regulation when what you really want is different regulation.

If the government is going to regulate stuff, porn should be low on the list. Parents should be able to handle that.

less regulation for some is really what they mean.

Agree.

CAA Flag - that's the worst, copout reason to vote for Romney. And it's also the reason the GOP (& DNC on the other side) gets away with floating such crappy candidates every 4 years. Voting for either of the major parties and expecting anthing to change is more of a wasted vote. The parties are banking on persons with this mentality (vote against the other side) enabling not to have to come up with solutions of their own. Any educated person voting for Romney or Obama for no other reason than they don't lke the other guy is an enabler to our current state of politics in this country. Leave that cowardly mentality to the uneducated, yellow dog Dems & Reps. There's plenty of them as it is.

If you like Romeny for his policies, great. But if you are only voting for him because he's not Obama, well....we get the govenrment we deserve.....

So tell me: if the two major parties have been going to hell in a handbasket, off the ideological rails, for half a century, why hasn't the "Great American Middle" risen up and formed the Great American Sensible Party (GASP)? And the Libertarians are no GASP. I think it's a combination of money, apathy and a strong 2-party tradition.

They're too busy watching Reality TV. If Middle America would put 20% of the effort into educating themselves on the issues as they do in determining their American Idol vote, well.......America's Got Talent? America's got problems...

And more for others. Not necessarily less, just different.
