It’s funny how they say they’re going to have a war on porn…
I don’t understand what the big deal is.
I think it’s stupid that they make such a fuss when there’s other more important things to be worrying about.
If it was a war on kiddy porn, I’d support that.
But they’re just wasting their time.
I think they should be more concerned with stoping priests from molesting little boys.
There’s other more important things Bush needs to be worrying about than porn, it just shows what an idiot he is.

[…] So, in reply to robber_baron’s comment last week on Iranian Pornography Dissidents, it looks like there may not be much more that the Bush administration can do, but releasing personal information of adult performers is actually quite effective. Instead of fighting the ‘war’ using the judicial system, he is using the American public themselves… and we all there are many trailer park Americans who’d love to take the law into their own hands.

How can a married man honestly have a war on porn? It seems ironic

The reason President Bush declared a “war on pornography” is to placate his base. As much as I’m sure the fundamental righties would prefer a “war on homosexuality” Bush gave them the next best thing.

In practice it becomes pragmatically difficult to fight a war against something that is both legal and mainstream within the public’s consciousness. The reason that Bush’s administration has done little or nothing other than talking tough is because a: they have very little they can do to make it harder to make, ship, and distribute a legal good and b: the people want pornography.

The porn industry is a huge money making industry, to illegitimize it would be to deny the government valuable income in a stagnant economy with a huge deficit. It would also be politically dangerous because although the pro-porn issue may not be explicitly [no pun intended] mentioned during campaigning it will be implicitly mentioned and such porn is big $$$ it means people desire it. People will vote on this issue.

Ultimately it is just useless pandering to his base and although it is dangerous and has the ability to pass senseless regulation to burden those who create pornography, and other much more important issues should be covered instead; mostly it should be ignored.

well, if they actually went ahead with their plans of fixing these issues, what issues would they have left to take a stand on at the next election?

They need these forever unresolved issues to gain the vote of the undecided…

It’s all just a ploy!

the war on porn??? sounds like the war on drugs - i.e., non existant!!!!

it’s the same as the whole pro life thing. Republicans played the Pro Life card to get elected… but what have they done about it??? Notta!!!!

Bush also said he is committed to tightening border security… but more ilegals than ever are enering the US via mexico?!?!?

i have my own theories about why this occurs.. but i’ll spare you
