Oh, so Gingrich has the same position as Santorum, but Santorum bothers you because he wrote it down, while Gingrich just said it to an interest group that would like his answer?

Santorum has a lot if things he wrote on his issues page. That doesn’t make them the “central issue”, any more than Gingrich making a policy speech in which he promoted a moon colony make that a “central campaign issue”.

The point is that several Newt supporters claimed that a plan to enforce pornography laws made Santorum unacceptable as a candidate. There was talk about this being a sign of legislating morality, and a religious takeover.

But Gingrich has exactly the SAME plan, he simply doesn’t have it listed as an item on his campaign web site. But unless you are saying Gingrich lied to the reporters, and won’t actually do what he promised, he will do the same enforcement Santorum was attacked for.

Anyway, it seems you are just upset that Santorum says what he will do, and doesn’t try to hide it. I like candidates who come out and tell the truth. I appreciate that Gingrich has the same plans, because I think if there are laws on the books, we should enforce them, and if we don’t like them, we should repeal them.

And as I said before, if you want to lead an effort to repeal the pornography laws, go right ahead, but I’d check the site owner first before doing it here.

There you have it in a nutshell. Any stick to beat a horse. Hypocrites all.
