2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Race

[quannum]

Like noone really even needs to make fun of the Republican candidates at this point, they say shit themselves that is a total joke, like comments like that. Even if people actually have real gripes with Obama, there is really no way he is losing to any of these people after all of this...

the problem is that you're using logic.

[Cleverness]

You make a good point

[ronin sparthos]

All of this shifting to the right is going to make for a very interesting VP choice for Romney.

[Andalusian girls]

It's not real. The scary thing is how real it seemed though.

thank god

[Cleverness]

Santorum + Gingrich 2012, book it

[RKenshin]

All of this shifting to the right is going to make for a very interesting VP choice for Romney.

Actually, from what I've heard so far the popular republican strategic VP idea is a Cuban-American representative in FL... for his popularity with the tea party, Hispanics, and hard-right voting record/stances.

Don't recall his name off my head.

Republican presidential candidate former, Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, wants to ban hardcore pornography.



Rick Santorum is declaring a war… on porn.
The Republican presidential candidate and staunch social conservative wants to ban hard-core pornography. He calls it "toxic to marriages and relationships" in a new statement posted on his official website.
"America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography," the former Pennsylvania senator writes. "It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking."
He demands a crackdown on the distribution of hardcore pornography on the Internet, in addition to material on cable/satellite TV, hotel/motel TV, retail shops and through the mail.
What qualifies as "hardcore" remains unclear.
Santorum points to a "wealth of research" showing pornography causes "profound brain changes in both children and adults," and rips President Obama for not doing enough.
"The Obama administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws," he writes. "While the Obama Department of Justice seems to favor pornographers over children and families, that will change under a Santorum administration.
The White House hopeful isn't the first to sign off on such measures this election cycle.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who dropped out of the race in January, previously signed a pledge pushed by influential Christian conservative group, the Family Leader, that among other measures, calls for banning all pornography.
In July, Mitt Romney — Santorum's rival and GOP frontrunner — refused to sign the pledge. It also stated homosexuality is a choice and health risk, banned gay marriage, and called for appointing faithful constitutionalists as judges.
Romney's spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said at the time that the oath "contained references and provisions that were undignified and inappropriate for a presidential campaign."
On Tuesday, Santorum won primaries in the socially conservative states of Alabama and Mississippi. Romney and Santorum are both stumping in Puerto Rico ahead of the U.S. territory's contest on Sunday.

He's already alienated 98% of christian women, now he goes after 100% of males.

Religious conservatives are a blight

[Byrthnoth]

You know, Rick Santorum makes me wonder how far Trump really could have gone.

[Xantavia]

Never got all the conservative hate for porn, how after watching it will make you go attack/abuse/rape random women on the street, then sell them to some underground slave ring. I don't know what his life is like, but after I spank it, I just want to roll over and sleep, not hop in my car and head to closest dark park.

And what are these reports he mentions about causing brain changes in children? I want to know what sick people decided to show porn to kids to see what happened.

[Dantrag]

Most internet porn is watched in the bible belt lul.

Santorum is not very conservative in his ideas of government. He is very pro BIGGER government. Someone on another forum said it best: "Santorum makes Obama look like Paul when it comes to the size of government they want to enact."

For all the shit they give Obama about being socialist and Marxist etc etc, this guy is pretty fucking commie if you ask me.

[Alleya]

He's not a commie, he's a fascist theocrat.

[kuronosan]

What's the difference?

[Alleya]

I guess none in america, where everything we don't like is automatically Nazi.

[ronin sparthos]

You'd think conservatives like Santorum would like porn since by their definition it degrades women and hey, they sure do love turning women into ignorant, backwards, housekeeping, baby-making machines.

If only it didn't have that pesky sexual intercourse in it.

[Indeed]

Well, at least it isn't completely woman-hating. I'm sure I'll be eating those words soon enough, when he announces some facet of the "crackdown on porn" plan that severaly punishes those pornographic hussies in some creative way we never saw coming.

[Dantrag]

He's not a commie, he's a fascist theocrat.

Yeah, sorry just the first negative thing I could come up with that is more used by the right than not. Next he'll say christianity is going to be the only religion allowed in America.

[Get Out]

Homosexuality is wrong, so no more girl on girl.

Pre-marital sex is wrong, so only anal allowed.

Contraception is wrong, so no more condoms.

[ronin sparthos]

Yeah, sorry just the first negative thing I could come up with that is more used by the right than not. Next he'll say christianity is going to be the only religion allowed in America.

Based on previous statements and his overall attitude he's already pretty much stated this.
