Santorum wants to ban hardcore pornography

But will this alienate his base?



Oh...I forgot...they are bunch of extreme hypocrites also.


Porn in the USA: Conservatives are biggest consumers

Americans may paint themselves in increasingly bright shades of red and blue, but new research finds one thing that varies little across the nation: the liking for online pornography.

A new nationwide study (pdf) of anonymised credit-card receipts from a major online adult entertainment provider finds little variation in consumption between states.

"When it comes to adult entertainment, it seems people are more the same than different," says Benjamin Edelman at Harvard Business School.

However, there are some trends to be seen in the data. Those states that do consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious than states with lower levels of consumption, the study finds.

Every issue in his brain has something to do with sex. He's beyond obsessed about it.

At least he has the courage to fight against the glorification of rape culture so prevalent in this country. This would be a huge defeat for male hegemony as the oppressor would no longer have pornography as a tool to celebrate violence against women.

He'll probably campaign in Illinois by releasing a condemnation of all cities that feel "windy" ...

He's so obsessed about other people getting to watch or do sex acts, it makes me wonder if there's something in his life he's not telling us...
