Mitt Romney Aide Promises Crackdown On Porn

[maddezmom]

Source: Huff Post

Republican Mitt Romney insists his No. 1 job is fixing the economy but a former Reagan administration anti-porn prosecutor says the candidate's campaign has assured him that he also will "vigorously" crack down on pornographers if he is elected president.

Patrick Trueman, a former head of the Justice Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and now the head of Morality in Media, told the conservative Daily Caller that he was quietly promised that fighting porn will be a top priority in a Romney White House.

Romney has promised that if elected president he would require every new computer be sold with a porn filter.


Despite those tough words, Romney's campaign has taken campaign cash from the head of a company that produces hard-core pornography. And gay porn filmmaker Michael Lucas, who has endorsed Romney, told the Daily Caller, “I don’t see any danger coming from Romney when it comes to porn. It’s just not there."

1. There goes the freeper vote. And....all the other votes.

[roguevalley]

6. he's going to lose Utah. They have the highest per capita porn consumption in USA. :D

[Drunken Irishman]

19. To be fair, that's all me.

[TheDebbieDee]

25. Well, at least you're honest about it, you phreek!

[sendero]

37. LOLZ

aw come on, I'm sure it's not ALL you

[roguevalley]

66. BWAHAHAHAHA! Duzy!

[Joe Bacon]

61. The Marriots won't approve

Think of all the cash the Marriot chain makes from porn!

[progressivebydesign]

2. Uh oh. Probably bad to remind people that this could be a religious crusade.

Bad enough the money Romney donates each year to them, has been used by the millions to deny couples the right to marry in California. Cracking down on porn a priority? Makes me feel like this will be a theocracy -- bad move on their part.

[TeamPooka]

54. even holy rollers need to whack off

so they might be afraid of him too.

[bluestateguy]

3. Requiring a porn filter on all new computers (from the small government conservative)

Will drive up the price of computers.

[nolabear]

5. And create small businesses getting around those porn filters.

See, he IS helping fix the economy!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. He probably owns some Porn Filter company in Panama?

[lunatica]

80. And he probably owns some stock in whatever doodads they have that override the porn filters

Classic Romney. Make money against something and for it at the same time. Double the dollars!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

82. Yes!

[bucolic_frolic]

35. More Government Regulation

Get the Government off our backs!!

Loosen regulations so corporations can pollute at will! It's too expensive otherwise.

End the EPA.

Got it?

Ok, now ....... use the government to regulate personal behavior ...

ban abortion.

crackdown on porn.

I thought the Mormons were so anti-government?

Mitt is a pick-and-choose politician

[sendero]

38. This is sl LAUGHABLE.

... as if the hacker community couldn't defeat a "porn filter" in about 10 minutes.

Don't like porn? Don't look at it.

[longship]

4. Bwahahahahaha!

Porn is ubiquitous! You might as well outlaw sex. (We all see how that's worked out for the Catholic clergy.)

Talk about tilting at windmills!

[nolabear]

7. What's he got against things that start with a big O?

[Mz Pip]

8. And he'll do this how?

Maybe he can take notes from China.

[died-in-1994]

10. LOL

[Rosa Luxemburg]

9. What does the porn filter look like - a black net stocking?

[xxqqqzme]

16. It's a

magic filter! Can I get it in white?

[maddezmom]

17. OMG

[flamingdem]

26. What in the world .. is that the filter he has in mind?

yeek

[Manifestor_of_Light]

59. How many microns are we talking about???

[Rosa Luxemburg]

64. LOL!

[lunatica]

81. That's vaguely reminiscent of magic underwear

Or something.

[The Wizard]

12. The Talibain (NT)

[jmowreader]

13. Isn't the porn-filter thing an intrusion into the affairs of small business?

There are thousands (probably millions) of small businesses who build PCs, customize factory-built PCs and otherwise work on PCs. The size of the police force Romney will need to ensure all those businesses are putting porn filters into every computer they make, and shipping the computers with the porn filters turned on, will make Nicolae Ceaucescu's vagina police force look like a couple of guys in a corner police box.

And you KNOW these aren't going to be the kind of porn filters you can remove easily; because I don't want a porn filter on my computer nor do I want to pay for one, wouldn't this also be an intrusion into my freedom of choice?

And furthermore, did you ever notice that the Republican party's vaunted belief in freedom disappears when it comes to a picture of two people having sex?

[kestrel91316]

23. It's a blatant violation of the First Amendment, but he'll just issue an

executive order and voila! It will be done.

[Jackpine Radical]

78. Hey, there's only one Amendment.

I've often wondered why they gave it the number 2.

[Amonester]

14. Yeah... Given that it's a $4B/yr. or more "industry" ...

Mr. "Fix it" Rmoney will then do what to replace that $4B (or more) chunk of the economy? (crickets, as usual).

Mr. "Job destroyer" Rmoney wants to destroy more jobs for a total of $4B or more per year...

Add that new destruction of jobs to the rest.

[onehandle]

15. That'll create jobs. nt

[AsahinaKimi]

18. "he would require every new computer be sold with a porn filter."

Well I suppose it will come with a silent alarm, and the police will come crashing into your house and haul you off to jail.


I am so glad Mr. Romney will be keeping me safe, from such Mormon Evils...and will no doubt build many more private and profit making prisons to house even more "criminals"


Haiyaaa... Anata wa fuzaketeimasu ka? Sonna koto o suru nante kare wa ki ga kurutta ni chigainai! Neboken ja neyo! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkaaaa na! Romney wa watashi o komarasete imasu. damareyo! Jigoku e ike!
(don't ask.)

[gejohnston]

24. I think bakayarou (sp?) is a better description than baka

My Japanese is very poor, please correct me if I missed your point.

[AsahinaKimi]

29. i prefer to use baka

baka ...stupid
baka tare.. Complete Idiot / Moron
baka yaro, which means Stupid bastard.
Aho is dumbass..(Aho is a Kansai ben word, Kansai district)
I don't like: baka buso (Idiot Bitch/ Stupid Bitch)
(buso can mean also ugly woman)

All these words are offensive in Japan. Some more than others. While calling someone stupid in America is mildly offensive
its not as offensive as it would be, if you lived in Japan.

son na baka na - This is stupid.
Baka is not a bad word in and of itself. You can say "baka dekai " which means extremely large.
The word is widely used in conversation and, while derogatory, is not taboo.
It is more common in Tokyo and other parts of eastern Japan.

[gejohnston]

46. The classes I took when I was on Okinawa did not include those.

I worked with a MSgt who knew Japanese and the indiginous Okinawan language quite well, spending most of his Air Force 26 years there. In some ways he reminded me of the Magnum PI character Higgins. But I digress. Iasked him once about umm unpolite terms and got a "only ugly Americans and Yakusa talk like that" speech.
Thanks for the lesson.

[AsahinaKimi]

47. He is correct.

Japanese is a language based on levels of politeness. I can tell you an interesting story. I met a guy in a chat room once, who spoke Japanese, but I found what he said very rude and extremely crude. I asked him where he learned Japanese? He said he learned it from watching Naruto (an Anime) and was excited about going to Japan shortly.

I warned him, that the language used in anime can sometimes be considered crude and rough. He would do better to take formal classes and learn Japanese in the proper way.

He said "Nahhhh..I can't afford classes, and besides I know enough, I will get by splendidly."

I said the language you are using might get you a punch in the nose. Its not polite language, (Plus he was using a word from the Naruto Anime that was entirely made up by the creators! It wasn't a real Japanese word. He would be laughed at for even using such a word in public.)

He got very hostile and told me, He didn't buy anything I said, and would prove it to me, when He got back from Japan!!!

I told him, "its up to you, but if you use that kind of language...well, its only going to get you in trouble."

The thing is...He never came back to my chat room, so... I don't know how his experience went.

I could only guess that he probably insulted everyone he met, and you know, the Japanese people hate rudeness and arrogance. If he wasn't on his knees apologizing, he was probably in a hospital some where being attended for his wounds.

[sakabatou]

70. Anata wa Romney ni shikarimasu.

I only understood bits and pieces of your romanji.

[AsahinaKimi]

71. LOL!
