Bachmann pledges to ban ‘all forms of pornography’

If I'm elected President, I pledge to ban all forms of ignorance.

This "plege" really just shows how ignorant and ridiculous the conservatives of today are. Makes me miss teddy, yes I am fully aware he was dead by around 90 years when I was born, nevertheless I miss him.

Every single time this woman opens her mouth - something amazingly stupid and disturbing oozes out - exactly why she is a front runner for the Republican party.

Certainly NOT a way to win a male, of any ages, vote.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that is all

What's next the plan to outlaw make illegal to masturbate?

The pledge also prohibits signatories from looking at any form of pornography before they ban it.
So how are they supposed to know that its porn if they never see it?

We should start a betting pool as to when she implodes ....At this rate she'll be out within the next 3 months. , but I think she's less dangerous while in the public eye.....just imagine what she could concoct behind closed doors! Yikes!

I actually took the time to read the pledge and I must say that I was extremely offended by several aspects of its contents.They are too numerous to name all of them but the on that I find most offensive is the now (supposedly deleted part about slavery). Being a descendent of both the slave and the slave master, I can say how my great grandfather "kept" my great grandmother in a house next to the main house and although, her children were cared for, they were never recognized. Were her children better off? That's a matter of opinion. But when you say that people that were born into slavery and families could be seperated at the discretion of the master were better off, I can't agree with that. I grew up in a two parent home as well as my children. All that being said, Michelle Bachmann can go to hell and reside there with my great grandfather.

She should say she is for banning all Obscenity, oh wait that would include her, oh wait but she's so stupid she may not realize that.....

Does this mean that she is not running? She is "pornography" and a whore.

Given the amendment process this won't happen so nothing to worry about. All candidates have negatives as well as positives. I'll take her over Obummer any day.

What we are seeing is the Tea Party favorite throwing away a good portion of the Tea Party base. Many of them are libertarians, not religious fanatics. She will implode before the primaries are over, if not sooner.

No Republican has ever looked at Porn.

opposes same sex marriage, Sharia law and pornography.As a part of the pledge, Bachmann promised to ban "all forms of pornography and prostitution, infanticide, abortion and other types of coercion or stolen innocence." is that true could we get a copy of that??

Does that include pictures of her holding that microphone so close to her mouth?

Just think about how the jobless rate would go down if we legalized and regulated prostitution in this country and how the tax dollars would flow in from the black market of this profitable business, the oldest in the world and will never go away.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia, y'all..... Is Michele Bachmann a closet Islamic radical ?

There goes the GOP, doing away with more and more Jobs.
She's trying to kill a money making industry. But she's too much of a dumb C*nt to realize that.

Also, there are much smarter women in Politics than her, why are only the one's that give women a bad name running?
I mean REALLY?!?!?

What's next, is she going to make it Illegal for girls to go to college, vote, or leave the kitchen?

She's just saying whatever it takes to get some votes, she just says what people want to hear. It would take a total idiot to vote for her.

The Bachmann woman has made a tremendously impressive move worthy of all political geniuses! First ya threaten the entire PORN INDUSTRY so they rebound some money into yer campaign coffers. A truly amazing move of an intellectual to be RECKONED WITH.

On a random note, I give porn makers about a year(or less) to create of Michele Bachman parody porn. What would be the name of it?

I believe that the Bible ask us to spread the good news of salvation, and let God be God. Why do I get the feeling that many people want to be God. You don't have to worry about what Bachmann sign or did not sign. Her motives are not in concert with the Bible.
Consequently, her position is not a popular one - and she will not win the white house. Don't let her actions upset you, they are not popular positions, but rather radical ones.

War is much worse than porn.The crusade Bachmann is on is worse than porn ever can be.

And now I wait for the Michele Bachmann sex tape...damn hypocrites do this shit all the time.

Oh dear multi-theist God, where do we start?!?

Perhaps first and foremost, Bachmann should have actually READ the WHOLE document before signing, instead of skimming through and finding the bits about gay marriage and porn. Now I think she's a bigot, a racist, and a prude to boot.

""Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President," the document said."

Yeah, things were great for black people in 1860. So great that the next year America had a civil war.

Secondly, how is she going to get rid of pornography? Unless the kill the internet, porn will still exist. Porn is a billion dollar industry, and it's damn-near recession proof. She doesn't have the funds, support, or power to even make a dent in the industry.

She's already lost. This didn't even sink her. Even her own party thinks she's unfit to run, and everyday she keeps proving it by shoving her foot ankle-deep into her own mouth.

One can see the direction of this election by the GOP God's Only Party. Avoid all issues like the economy, health care, the wars, the environment, education, our roads and most of our future. A campaign to ban porn. And she will be St. Joan to lead the charge.

The following must also be added to the Iowa pledge. The earth is flat, the earth is the center of the universe, blood determines race and the earth is jsut 4000 years old.

I'd like to think that political leaders should be goaled toward the happiness and service of the people. The idea of banning wouldn't even have ever come to debate if the great citizens of Minnesota obviously did not enjoy the freedom that is their body. Please, carry on Minnesota. Let none of this come to pass.

Damn now I can't even rub one out while thinking of her.

...following quote by Bachmann...

..."Iran is the troublemaker trying to tip over apple carts all over Baghdad right now because they want America to pull out. And you know why? It’s because they’ve already decided, that they’re going to territory, they’re- they’re going to partition Iraq and half of Iraq, the western northern portion of Iraq is going to be called, the United, uh, uh, the, the uh, -oh, I’m sorry, I can’t remember the actual name of it now, but it’s going to be called, um, uh, the, the, uh, uh the Iraq State of Islam, something like that. And I-I’m sorry, I-I don’t have the official name, but it is meant to be the training ground for the terrorists. There’s already an agreement made; they’re going to get half of Iraq and that is going to be a –a terrorist free,-a terrorist safe haven zone." - February 9, 2007, interview with Larry Schumacher, St Cloud Times.

...pornography is the least of her "stupid"...(if that's possible)...

Gawd!!!! I hope that she wins the GOP primary. It will be great to see the president win in an even bigger landslide, not to mention the best entertainment in the world.

No. 1 state for pornography per capita? Utah. True.

Just sayin'

What does she consider freedom of speech? One person's pornography is another's art. What two consenting adults do is nobody else's business. That being said only child pornography should be banned as they are too young to consent.

So much for smaller government and the government staying out of people's rights. What she is saying is that only those that fit her mold should have freedom. Extremist should never be allowed to run the country. They are true wack jobs that want to impose their views on the rest of us.

"...other types of coercion or stolen innocence."

Hmmph, you could pretty easily slap that label on any kind of Christian fundamentalist church.

Why isn't stupid considered pornography?

Good .... she just lost all male votes and supporters!

This is what I hope progressives would be fighting against someone like Bachmann instead of sending emails asking people to fight against Obama.

Bachmann and her supposed reform gay husband are dangerous and God help us all if she wins the GOP nomination.

(I'll skip the cheap jokes that porn might actually turn her husband straight)
It goes back to the Oliver Wendell Holmes definition of obscene material: "I don't know what it is, but I can tell you when I see it."
With various fetishes, fantasies and the idea that a healthy person is attractive, you can't truly stop every form of erotic stimulation in everybody. As Toby Zeigler said in the pilot of "The West Wing." Show a teenage boy a lug wrench and he'll think of sex. A woman in a certain role, outfit or attitude might be seen as erotic by some, but not everyone. (see "Blue Steel" with Jamie Lee Curtis and Ron SIlver) Is the on-screen kiss between Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh porn? Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr? Okay, Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone might qualify with nudity, but "Sex in the City" kept clothes on during coitus. I'd love to see the auction to see who sponsors the cover-up of Venus de Milo.
Simply put, a ban on privately-owned porn would be a bigger and more unenforceable disaster than the "war on drugs" and Prohibition combined.

She cares Nothing about Constitutionally guarantied Personal Freedoms, only the Freedoms that the Church wants everyone to have. If any Libertarian votes for her they are total hypocrites for voting against their stated “Constitutional Freedoms” stance.
We don’t need a female evangelical preacher for president that will do Anything that her church tells her to do but I Do hope she gets the nomination because it will drive Many moderate Republicans away and I don’t see her being able to get even 25% of the American vote.

Ban Bachmann she hurts my head,..im going to go watch some porn that should help

This women shouldn't be running for sh&#, Out of her mind INSANE!!!

She just lost the male vote.

You might argue that one of the pictures in my collection is pornography, I maintain that it is merely a depiction of six people in love. We need a definition of pornography before we can ban it.

Let's see, how many years has prostitution been around? Has anyone ever tried to ban it before? I always wondered why it was against the law to sell something that can legally be given away free.

I must be having an off day. I thought it said lift ban on all types of porn.

Well maybe she will get around to banning this book; http://www.answering-christianity.com/x_rated.htm

Atheism never sounded good. Education, the anti- Bachmann.

I read the whole document that they are asking candidates to sign. It is a continuation of the belief that God's law (as they define him) trumps Man's law. The locus of behavioral control is external rather the internal, so they need people to agree to all of these rules and have the church enforce them. It is based on the Old Testament, not the New Testament. It is paternalistic and very controlling and is at odds with the secular law. Hence the need to change secular law.

This broad is a dimwit.

Just more Fascist rhetoric! Be afraid...very...afraid...of everybody...and everything!

That may be a little awkward for her. If she is going to ban *ALL* "forms" of pornography, doesn't that mean she must also ban herself?

Cause her record of public discourse is obscene.
