Could Mitt Romney Really Ban Porn?

the one thing a president has power over is killing entertainment

Like Lincoln?

lol i meant like george washington i always get it mixed up

Understood!!

I didn't know GW killed entertainment! What did he do? (I believe you. I'm just curious.)

I DO know that Thomas Jefferson would beat the crap out of his horse when he was angry. That's definitely not a healthy behavior.

Maybe not healthy but surely entertaining. :-) Except, of course, from the horses perspective. ...

Of course we're all entitled to our own ideas of what's entertaining.....I just can't see abusing horses as amusing. I realize that' just my opinion.

Jefferson would get angry with people and take his anger out on his horsies. Call me sqeamish, but I just don't enjoy watching anyone inflict pain on another creature for fun. Pain is NOT fun.

He can try. What's funnier still is that with the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, which he was for before he was against it, he now as a Republican candidate opposes the mandate because it forces people to buy something they may not want. But he's for forcing people to buy computers with something they may not want and have to pay for when they buy the computer. I guess he's only against individual mandates his masters tell him to oppose.

Come on, does he really think he would have that power?

The pron industry makes too much money to be banned. he will find out.

Words spoken by a man who should know better.

he was no shot

It is up to use to control ourselves and that which are children do on the internet. It is not like it use to be where you click on something and the next thing you were on one. You can set filters that screen them out for one.

his lib buddy al gopre tried to ban bad song lyrics and he failed

another ignorant lib blocked

Funny how porn is such a big deal but it's OK to see a man get his head blown off.

Alcohol kills a lot more than porn,not for porn but you are correct about violence on the screen.

He can ban it but that would probably double the pornography business. Wonder how much money he would make off of it.

Love how christian conservatives like regulating all sorts of crap, music, movies, porn and tv, but try to regulate guns and some of them want to shoot you.

Gore's wife is the only one I know that wanted to regulate music and movies, the liberals are the ones that want to get into your personal life and tell you what to eat and drink. Are you paying attention to what is going on around you? Did you read the article? He just wants a program to make it easier to block the crap that infects computers with porn. If you've ever seen what it can do to computers perhaps you would understand - especially if a 5 year old has access to it. I realize some religious nuts can take it to far and I don't like that either, but to say they are the ones that want to control your life is completely wrong. The ban on large drinks in NY, meatless Mondays, tax you more and give it to the lazy, you have to have health care or else. That's all liberal crap

Being a democrat isn't the same as being a liberal, espeacially if your from Tenn.I was simply pointing out the irony of these "religious right" people who want to regulate social issues but scoff at gun regulation. simple. Believe me I have seen porn, ........mmmmmmm I mean what porn can do to a computer, its a mess, so to speak. We need regulation for all sorts of stuff, like corporations, we need taxes, we need health.if municipalities want to pass their own laws fine, vote the city council and mayor out, or move doesn't bother me, only thing that bothers me are the jesus freak hypocrites, usually they are of the conservative persuasion.

They also think that all life is sacred, but they don't give a rat's ass for the kids once they're born.

He isn't saying pornography will become illegal, he's saying that it will be easy for someone who doesn't want their children to see it to not let their children see it. Saying he shouldn't ban pornography is like saying he shouldn't limit who can buy drugs and alcohol and saying he should just let any freak on the streets sell drugs to minors without their parents knowing. Banning it to the extent that he is is simply protecting those who want to be protected.

As much as Mitt Romney might want to, nobody can ban porn. Its availability to children can be resticted, but SCOTUS has spoken quite thoroughly on this issue.

Not any more than Obama can pull 12 million jobs out of his ass

He could try but then that would just make it more alluring.

After reading others comment below (or above depending on how this is placed) not much left to add. You can't regulate morality and for those who do not wish to be more than an "animal" ... they will NOT! Oh sure, there are studies that show what this does to women, children and societies ... but that would ASS-ume there were people who actually cared. Those in places of power - make their money from, use and spread anytbhing that brings the highest bidder. And sadly, humanity does not really care about thosel little details! Till we have people who CARE about becoming more than they currently are in the evolutionary food chain - this is what ya get!

..... reading that comment, I don't believe he's saying that at all.

As I read it, he's for Regulation that requires easy ' Lock ' feature on Home Computer(s) so that parents could prevent their children from accessing porn or possibly meeting the poster boys of the gay community like Jerry Sandusky.

.............'er wait a sec, we don't want that, because it means the Parent(s) will be controlling an aspect of their child's life, rather than the Government.

No, but I think he should keep saying so, LOL.

Ive seen porn everywhere ,noway anybody can control that .

I would like to see a romney filter.
