“More like Dick Santorum.” The voice inside everyone’s brain Circa right now #RickSantorum
![Vote with your dick and don’t vote for this dick. #Santorum #GOP
A free market capitalist shouldn’t be standing in the way of porn. For one thing he is supposed to be about small government but wants the Department of Justice to enforce “Current” obscenity laws. (At least his interpretations of those laws.) That seems like a Big Brother/Big Government.
This is the sort of hypocrisy that bothers me with the current batch of Republicans. Be small government capitalist free for all guys or don’t. You can’t have it both ways.
For example a lot of times capitalists use a term “Vote with your wallet” or “Dollar vote.” The idea being that we don’t need regulations. The market will get rid of what people don’t want. You don’t like the oil spill? Don’t buy BP oil. You want to support renewable resources? Buy a Nissan Leaf. (This is a very simplistic view of things and has tons of dumb flaws of course.)
My point being that if we’re not going to regulate other shit why are we regulating the internet? If there is one thing that the American people have “Dollar voted” on it’s porn. We’ve given a giant mandate for videos of sex.
Now stop reading this and go masturbate to a video of people fucking while dressed like The Simpsons.

Santorum Santorum Says of the Day: Having gone after pretty much every other “social malady” in the book, Rick Santorum is finally setting his sights on the big daddy of them all: Pornography.
In a statement that reads like something Anthony Comstock would have deemed “going too far,” the GOP presidential candidate claims pornography ”causes profound brain changes in both children and adults” and blasts the Justice Department for favoring “pornographers over children” by not enforcing obscenity laws.
Santorum continues: “[C]urrent federal ‘obscenity’ laws prohibit distribution of hardcore [obscene] pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier.”
The former Pennsylvania Senator concludes by vowing that, as President, he will change the status quo as it concerns pornography.
It seems somewhat laughable, but can President Santorum really get rid of Internet porn if he set his mind to it? Yes, says UCLA Law Professor and noted blogger Eugene Volokh.
“If the government wanted to aggressively move against Internet pornography, it could do so,” Volokh told The Daily Caller. “Here’s the deal: In most parts of the country, a lot of pornography on the Internet would plausibly be seen as obscene.”
The law may be on his side, but, if he were to pursue his anti-porn crusade, Santorum would likely find rather quickly that the only thing still able to blur the lines of political affiliation is porn.
“When it comes to adult entertainment, it seems people are more the same than different,” said Harvard Business School’s Benjamin Edelman, who, in 2009, published a nationwide study [pdf] on porn viewing habits that should give Santorum pause.
Eight out of the top 10 porn-loving states voted for John McCain in the 2008 presidential election. By comparison, six of the bottom 10 cast their vote for Obama.

@RickSantorum Well then I look forward to being reimbursed for any of my tax dollars that funded the Iraq War.

Just a reminder to never ever ever make Amy Poehler mad you. She pretty much eviscerated the GOP in 5 minutes. Really.
In Case You Missed It of the Day: Speaking of which, Amy Poehler returned to Saturday Night Live last night to reunite with former Weekend Update co-host Seth Meyers for a special birth-control segment of “Really?!?” which delved into all the wacky, anachronistic mishegas the Republicans were up to this week.
On the one hand, I hope Amy returns to Weekend Update more often. On the other hand, I hope it’s not because there’s enough material to make this birth-control segment a weekly feature.

“You first fat head.” Me to Newt Gingrich about creating a colony on the moon.
This video gave me a half chub and I’m proud to say that.
I love these chicken hawk politicians who want to start wars but also want to pick and choose which young men and women they want to thank for fighting those wars. There’s no parentheses, footnotes, or qualifiers, after the statement “Support the Troops.”
fuck yes, Obama! fuck YOU GOP candidates!
Fun Fact: The devil uses an inky excretion for Newt Gingrich’s anal gland to write the contracts he uses when he buys peoples’ souls. #GOP #Newt
Fact: Iowa spent $400K cleaning up the slime that Newt Gingrich exudes from his grey flesh. #GOP #IOWA #Gingrich
