Does anyone here have a problem with the concept that the President has so much power that he can dictate to *YOU* what you may, or may not, look at on the internet?
For that is the essence of what this is about.
Be honest.
(And I do have a problem with that.
The cat will drink to that, as long as Saint Ricky also outlaws all alcohol!
Can someone remove this guy from the presidential field.
If he had enough sense, he would know that the presidency should NOT be controlling where you go on the net, where you go in your car and what you do in the bedroom. He keeps coming back to his government umbrella. Ricky sure does have sex on the mind. Thing of it is-it's others' sexual business in which he thinks about controlling.
It's very unfortunate to see some conservatives so quick to want to use the boot of the state to solve a perceived problem in society. I've often lamented the fact that social conservatives almost always wish to use government as a weapon of first resort, which I don't believe is a philosophy consistent with respect for liberty.
Rick Santorum is a big government statist. He belongs in the Democrat Party.
This election season, fiscal conservatives own the GOP grassroots.
It is the fiscal conservatives and free-market supporters who own the Republican streets. Through the Tea Party, they have come to dominate the grassroots of the GOP. It is as if an invisible primary were held for supremacy at the grassroots and the Tea Party won.
And social issues are nowhere on the Tea Party agenda. I recently participated in a conference call with tea-party affiliates throughout the country. During the question period that followed my speech, one leader of a local tea-party group asked a question about abortion. The conference-call leader jumped in before I could answer and ruled the query out of order. “Our priorities are to oppose taxes, support fiscal conservatism, and advance free-market principles,” she scolded the questioner. “We do not take a position on social issues like abortion,” she added.
Along with this change has come a shift in what it takes to turn the litmus paper red enough to win Republican primaries. It used to be that abortion, gun control, and gay marriage were the hot-button issues, and anyone straying from orthodoxy was targeted in the primary and handicapped in the general election by a lackluster turnout. Now, a candidate’s social positions rarely even come up. It is fiscal and economic purity that rules the day. Anyone who voted for cap-and-trade is targeted in the primary. And there is no place for a candidate who ever backed a tax increase. Every candidate has to sign the no-tax pledge that Grover Norquist formulated for Americans for Tax Reform.
Where Republican politicians were once terrified to move to the left on social issues, they are now more frightened of retribution for departures from fiscal orthodoxy. The once-elitist demands of the Club for Growth are now echoed throughout America by the surging Tea Party movement.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that 71 percent of all Republicans regarded themselves as Tea Party supporters, far more than would identify themselves as pro-life or opposed to gay marriage.
This shift in Republican priorities is opening up the way for social moderates and libertarians to back Republican candidates in the 2010 elections. The libertarian strain in the American electorate has long been neglected by the mainstream media. But, through the Tea Party, it has gained ascendancy on the right. Those who want the government to stay out of both boardrooms and bedrooms have come to dominate the party and its nominating process.

This has been on his website for months. The liberals decided to use it now I suppose because they are getting worried.
Oh, boy.
The country’s economy is collapsing, and that sickening guy is only thinking about sex matters. He’s such a dreary joke of a candidate.
Zip up your pants, Rick.
Wow.
“—another idiotic diversion from the important issues by the idiotic Santorum-— “
Indeed. Probably half of America looks at some form of Internet porn every week (hell, maybe every day), most of it being pretty harmless stuff. Besides, the porn wars have already been fought and the Supremes have basically already said anything goes. That’s the end of he story right there. Santorum is beating a dead horse here, one that’s been dead for at least two decades.
Quite frankly harping on these kinds side-show issues is what gives Pubs the reputation of being extremists. Most people are rightfully suspicious when anyone tries to tell them what they can and cannot read, view or think, be it from the left or from the right. If Santorum happens to become the nominee, we count on the biggest landslide loss ever. These kinds of social issues simply do not resonate with the majority of voters, and in fact frighten them, which is why the left always lies about their intent. The left knows if they came right out and said what they were going to do, they would never win an election.
All any Pub nominee has to do to win the Presidency is do what Scott Brown did in Massachusetts, namely, stay on message with a hand-full of simple talking points and refuse to be drawn into playing the “gotcha” game by the leftist media.
The points:
1. Cut gov spending massively.
2. Immediately quit running up a massive deficit.
3. Reduce taxes.
4. Reduce regulation. Roll back all Obama regs.
5. Do everything possible to increase domestic energy production via oil and coal, plus build the XL pipeline.
6. Strong military.
7. Strong border security. Build a fence. Deport illegals. No social spending for illegals.
8. Stop all Obama lawsuits against the states. Support Voter ID. Support states rights in general.
9. No more bailouts of any kind for any one. period.
10. Repeal Obamacare and replace it with true health care reform.
11. Strong support for Israel, UK and our other stalwart allies. Take out the mideast pirates.
12. Get rid of the czars.
13. Reign in the EPA. Abolish all regs under Obama. Revoke all Obama exec orders and start over.
14. Stop all unconstitutional activity started by Obama.
AND NOT A DAMN THING ELSE! NOT ANOTHER WORD ON A SINGLE OTHER SUBJECT. NO MATTER WHAT THE LEFTIST PRESS ASKS, REFER BACK TO ONE OF THE ABOVE ISSUES!
The biggest whores are politicians.
