Bachmann is just being consistent with the radical religious right that she embraces.

These crackpots are NOT for "smaller government." They want to use the government as a weapon against all and any who don't fit their mold.

BREAKING: Bachmann pledges to ban pornography | ThinkProgress
LOL at "banning" porn. The first monkey boy probably drew dirty pictures of "hot" female monkey girls in the sand as soon as he learned how to sharpen a stick.

There's stuff in that pledge too about homosexuals being devient sinners, and black families being better off under slavery. Sheeesh...

I think Bachmann signed this pledge for two reasons:

1) She really believes this crap, and

2) She DESPERATELY wants to win Iowa, and thinks NOT signing the thing would hurt her chances with the whackos that make up that state's GOP caucus.

But of course, once she gets out of Iowa, she'll have to explain this thing to the rest of the country.

Big mistake, maybe the first serious mistake of her campaign. A better pol would have figured out a work-around.

Best the country finds out about her limitations now, I guess.

The US is by far the biggest producer and consumer of porn in the world. When we are not having sex we like to watch other people having sex. Perverts? perhaps. But what are all the x-porn stars going to do to make a living? Shouldn't our leaders be thinking of ways to create jobs rather than killing them?

If you want the stats on the porn industry, ya gotta read this article:
6 Ways That Porn Runs The World | Cracked.com

The USA porn industry generates more revenue than Hollywood and all pro sports combined. More than Microsoft earns per year.

Porn will be outlawed? Yeah, in Bachman's dreams.

Cracked.com is a humor site.

You are aware of that, right?

Just asking.

Well, after Iowa there's New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina -- those are the four February contests. And while it won't go over well in the two contests immediately following Iowa, it'll play just fine in South Carolina, and between SC and IA those states have almost twice the population (and thus almost twice the delegates) as NH and NV.

When the field is winnowed to Romney and Bachmann, there aren't too many social conservatives who are going to be saying, "We gotta vote for Romney because he won't take our Hustlers away!".

Doesn't mean I think she'll win the nomination (I don't) but the I'll-ban-porn! message plays perfectly well with a sizeable chunk of the GOP primary/caucus voting base.

I know a lot of folks here in the panhandle that voted for him, and none of them are pleased.

I don't know if Scott will even run for re-election his numbers are so low. Its likely he'll decide to be a one and done candidate, and the Florida GOP will put up a new front man.

This states politics are so screwed up
I'm sorry but thats not good enough. The tea party gave us this current state of affairs. A bunch of sore losers came out and made it bad for everyone. I know everyone will suffer but those cry baby spoiled brats will feel it the most.

Only one problem with your OP. Stink Progress has duped you. You must realize SP and MM are nothing but cut, paste and hack/edit sites?

Totally untrue.
