Bachmann pledges to ban pornography

True, but I was thinking that I bet there are a lot more than "a couple million" men who watch porn on a regular basis. I don't think it's every man in the land, but still.
 
I'm sure we would be surprised if they added that to the U.S. census just for kicks. "Sex: Male or Women" (Circle one). "Do you watch porn?" (Yes or No).

^_^

correct! this is mere pandering to the fundie base, however, would you vote for someone that wants to take away this form of "entertainment?

From you personally, yes. :lamo
 
Another reason to vote for Obama if she gets the Republican nomination, and another thing to include in the reasoning for why others should do the same.

Ah, but how many of us would be willing to publicly admit that we're big enough fans of porn to take to the streets?
 
Most of you, were you in a real, present danger of losing access.

He's right that it doesn't explicitly mention banning it. But it does at the very least call for more "protection" from it or controls on it (and again, that's just at a minimum)...which, as I said in my previous post, is more government intervention from a candidate built on the idea that government intervention is inherently bad.

Do you find it interesting that Bachmann supporters love Bachmann for her criticism on government but then defend her when she calls for more government? Jesus, I can cut their hypocrisy with a knife.

Perhaps you should start using actual quotes.

I particularly like the fact that she was willing to marry a gay man. That will certainly impact her success.

It's only a matter of time before one of those "23" foster children drops dime on her ass.

She should prepare to lose then, since that'll wipe out 50% of the voters. Too many voters into porn and homosexuality means she'll be dust in the wind. Poof!
 
What about the jobs that porn creates, billions, and billions of dollars into the American economy. Seriously, it's a cash cow.

Hypocrisy is funny.
 
This foster child thing is going to backfire on her. Note her unwillingness to admit some of those kids she "raised" were probably only a week or so.

Asked how long they lived with her, she said "it varied."

I asked Bachmann to explain the parameters of how long the children lived with her - was it as short as one week? As long as three years?

"It varied, it really varied depending on the children," Bachmann responded. "And we've never gotten into specifics about the children because we've always wanted to observe their privacy and that of their families. As I'm sure you can appreciate."

Did Michele Bachmann "raise" 23 foster kids? - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

How exactly would mentioning the time spent with you impact privacy Michelle? Hilarious.

Is the fact that the Bachmann family helped children for three weeks or three years important to you?

Have the American people become so dumbed down that they will debate this as an election issue?

It goes to honesty - and Bachmann doesn't have it. It's not just this point. She demonstrates it damn near every time she opens her mouth.

If only you were that curious with Barack Obama perhaps your country wouldn't be in the mess it is today.

Didn't the source you sent give you any pause to question its authenticity? Have you accepted it, as you did with Brack Obama, at face value?

Bachmann herself has made it an issue. And she continues to sell the idea. She keeps bringing it up. So she obviously wants people to know and feels it's a valuable asset on her resume. She's being disingenuous. But hey, I'm not shocked at the reaction of RW apologists who whine that it should be off limits..

We have more important things to worry about.

There's no way that she will get the nom.



BREAKING: Bachmann pledges to ban pornography | ThinkProgress

Bachmann became the first presidential candidate to sign a pledge created by THE FAMiLY LEADER, an influential social-conservative group in Iowa. By signing the pledge Bachmann “vows” to “uphold the institution of marriage as only between one man and one woman” by committing herself to 14 specifics steps. The ninth step calls for the banning of “all forms” of pornography. The pledge also states that homosexuality is both a choice and a health risk. You can read all the details of the pledge here.

What is almost worse is that the pledge states that homosexuality is a choice but more importantly it is a health risk... and as we all know health risks can be fought by banning or putting limitations on it.

She basically signed on to put homosexuals in camps and put pink stars on their cloths. The Nazi's used the exact same excuse on homosexuals.

Bachmann is a health risk. She makes me sick.

Not just him. The ones who didn't get caught, as well. Empty Congress, or damn near (I'm betting.)

I'm betting Marcus will get stoned unless he turns in his Head Honcho collection too.
 
Glad Backmann and the republican party are focusing on the real issues as usual.
