The laws are on the books and not being enforced.
We are not talking about new laws, new 'prohibitions' as it were, but enforcing the laws and ending the lawlessness of the current administration.
PapaBear, as to your question regarding what is more important...... It is a straw man, and nothing more. No one, including Santorum, has said that pornography is the most important issue. Stop falling for the leftist media ploy to discredit all conservatives by setting up a false comparison, and above all, don't do it yourself.
Understanding that morality is a very real, and very important issue, doesn't displace the issues of the economy, the debt, foreign policy, or any other issue.
THIS, you know. So no more games, OK? It seems like desperation to make a point that has no merit.
It is not an important issue in the election of 2012.
It just is not.... and your emotional sarcasm is forgiven :)
It's very relevant and not a straw man. Here's why:
Every espoused political position has a benefit and also a cost. Each attracts some voters and alienates others. Political strategy rests on getting the right set of issues which will energize you base in support of you WITHOUT energizing your opponent's base AGAINST you to an even greater degree.
Gun control is an example of such an issue. The Democrats have lots of supporters who are very much in support of gun control. Supporting gun control energizes their base. Unfortunately for the Dems in 1994, the Clinton Gun Ban may have pleased the Dem base, but it energized the Republican base against them even more, and they were swept from Congress a few months later.
Having porn bans as a major campaign issue is similarly counter-productive.
You could have said this exact statement any time during the eight years of the W administration. Why didn't you?
