    I would sign a pledge to ban Rick Santorum from the internet.

    Santorum's anti-pornography stance is nothing more than a religious agenda. I personally find it laughable and everyone knows that prohibition has a proven track record of failure. Alcohol prohibition didn't work, drug prohibition isn't working, and prohibition of pornography won't work either.

    Also, as long as it is between consenting adults there is really no need for anything to be done about it, and the state should not take intrusive steps into people's lives.

    Santorum has a history of religious agendas though. He is also anti-woman's liberation, and is homophobic.

    Good luck with that one... that's like saying, I pledge to stop every toddler in the world from throwing temper tantrums... EVER! If someone could really do that, I would be TOTALLY signing up for the next "tame my toddler" class offered in my community... not even the supernanny is that good!

    He needs to find other crusades to champion. Porn is a good thing.

    If he wants to ban something, ban new immigration. And kick out all the illegal aliens currently freeloading in the country.

    Politics and religion don't mix. This guy is too concerned with his religious belief's ...he should have never been considered a candidate for a potential President. He will try to make laws to match his religious belief's, instead of looking at what's best for our country. If I wanted someone to make my choices for me, I'd go to church. We do not need someone like this, trying to push his religion on all the people in our country. That right there, often turns people away from religion. He's too pushy.

    I didn't think it was possible for a republican to make a statement that would make me vote for obama over them...

    i was wrong

    freedom of speech needs to not be impaired for others morals or feelings.

    Banning pornography from the Internet (where I suspect the majority of revenue is derived from) would only drive the industry underground.

    Instead, the forthcoming United States government should seek to regulate, and ultimately tax, pornography for greater clarity.

    Why does Santorum always go out of his way to alienate every kind of perverts?

  • 9 years ago

    Online porn should be legal. If people want to, they have a right to share their bodies.
