When a politician makes a statement like this, he or she is putting it all on the line.

Parents should control what they want their children to watch on tv and there are locks that can stop children via parents control online. With Dole advertising viagra on tv...sheesh that was not done in a tasteful manner. LOL or EWWWWWWW your choice.
"Santorum is not the first presidential candidate to take up the obscenity issue. In July, Michele Bachmann signed a pledge vowing her support of a constitutional amendment that, among other things, called for a ban on all pornography. (It also effectively called for a ban on same-sex marriage.)" The Atlantic wonders if Santorum's wide-scale crackdown on porn could actually work. The Daily Caller found someone who thinks it could. "If the government wanted to aggressively move against Internet pornography, it could do so," UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh told the site.
