Mitt Romney Might Block Your Porn, Despite Jenna Jameson Endorsement

“Retired porn star Jenna Jameson waded into the 2012 presidential race on Thursday, choosing a San Francisco strip club as the venue to announce her support for GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney…Romney’s presidential aspirations have intersected with pornography and adult film stars before. Earlier this year, a clip surfaced showing Romney unveiling an effort to combat online pornography in 2008…”.* Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz break it down on The Young Turks.

    Apparently Mitt Romney has never used a computer before.  You don’t need to be president to make something happen that has already happened…… 

  2. CongressBeta on February 9, 2022 at 8:12 pm

    You said porn was negatively affecting society. I proved to you that you are wrong. Get over it. And if you wan’t a source, just google rape rates after porn was introduced or watch The Young Turks video where they were talking about Rick Santorum wanting to ban pornography.

  3. Dire Squirrel on February 9, 2022 at 8:13 pm

    They are actually missing a major point here.

    The entire preinstalled filter idea is idiotic because it forces you to actively choose that you wan’t your rights, instead of choosing that you want to give them up.

    But the really big thing is the impact on software industry. It would have to be mandatory, which means that microsoft would be forced to include it in their OS.
    What about their freedom?

    What about open source OS’s?
    Republicans would not make open source, so say goodbye to linux.

  4. Jusplais on February 9, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    She really will run blind and compromise her rights and best intrest for money! Who cares, are we living on a gag reel in a circus?

  5. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:15 pm

    But whether the goal is to stop procreation or control it, encouraging procreation is a step in the wrong direction. Also, I wasn’t even referring to rape in my comment, but even just some mild coercion and the economic injustices that cause such participation to be involuntary would be worse than the pornography itself. And these are problems we can address independently of concept of porn, even if the industry has to shake. Cont.

    There is nothing emotional about sex.

  7. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:16 pm

    Clearly you have placed some sort of taboo on sex if you can’t watch two people fucking without seeing something disgusting that you feel that "we cannot allow… to continue." Yes it shows women (and men) who just want to get fucked (or fuck), though depending on the genre it could be the opposite; that is what porn is. If you want intrigue, plot and character development, hard-to-get women, respectful interactions, and not to jack off, then go with romance, drama, etc.

    eat shit

  9. OriginalJoseyWales on February 9, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    whats the honesty she has ?

  10. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    "This has many sociological implications which are destructive to society…" Simply wrong.

    "…moral corruption cannot be reversed or healed." Couldn’t be more incorrect. Although no moral corruption is occurring.

    "It does feed of people’s helplesness." I’ve already explain why I think this isn’t the case and you’ve ignored it. You are repeating yourself now, please excuse me.

  11. SandBarAndYou on February 9, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    I am for porn. Porn does no harm to society. Why would it?

  12. Koruskemon on February 9, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    who the hell made those subs? not a good job at all

  13. Gurianthe on February 9, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    well, at least she’s being honest about the reasons she’s supporting him

  14. Gnomesmusher on February 9, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    I’m guessing you didn’t realize that A) it was a half joke B) that the point is that kids these days are usually smart enough to get around those filters

  15. SandBarAndYou on February 9, 2022 at 8:26 pm

    There is no evidence for the harm that you’re talking about. And I have no idea what you mean by saying if we can see the harm in porn then we wouldn’t be talking. What on Earth does that mean? And your comment was about porn and Romney, not just Romney. Of course the video is not about porn. I am not commenting to the video.

  16. CongressBeta on February 9, 2022 at 8:27 pm

    Really thats your solution? Really? Just kick the clown out of office if he does this, this is a democracy right? Idiot.

  17. WOLF STAR on February 9, 2022 at 8:27 pm

    If they ban porn my life would be over.

  18. SandBarAndYou on February 9, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    Man, you really can’t stand the fact that I’m not making an argument. It’s like it just doesn’t compute for you. Porn has reduced crime and creates more freedom. That’s it. I never said porn reduces crime and creates more freedom AND THEREFORE that means porn is good. You made that last part up.

  19. l donnie Coburn on February 9, 2022 at 8:30 pm

    not true

  20. Rouge Lichen on February 9, 2022 at 8:32 pm

    jesus fucking christ the young turks are painfully retarded

  21. JimmMyHero on February 9, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    i understood it was a joke and i was agreeing with you too. the thing is, your point doesn’t really matter because adults are way smarter than kids lol.

  22. royaloreca on February 9, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    I like your thinking 😉 nuf said

  23. Windbringer on February 9, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    You can do that already…

  24. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:36 pm

    Shielding and blindfolding your children is not parental supervision, it is abuse. That isn’t what I was talking about when it comes to parents being involved in the lives of their children during the younger ages. There are no harms from pornography. You mentioned social, educational, and (very importantly) economic problems and erroneously claimed they were caused by pornography and prostitution. My contention is you seem to think this due to an unnatural delicacy you’ve placed upon sex.

  25. Ashley Miller on February 9, 2022 at 8:36 pm

    oh man, barack should just tell everyone this! He would totally win the election!

  26. CongressBeta on February 9, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    rape rates have gone down 86% since porn was introduced.

  27. David Lofton on February 9, 2022 at 8:44 pm

    What are proxies? Simple answer to this kind of foolish crap.

  28. Kevin Uchiha on February 9, 2022 at 8:45 pm

    Well, Okey sounds great and all, but are there any studies or anything about this? I never believe in something unless i see proof or something.
    And with the emotional attachment thing, there are porn who actually has emotions and love. That kind of porn isn’t as common though. It’s often seen as feminane porn and often has female directors.

  29. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    Cont. If women are not willing participants in the business (which can be the case) that is a completely separate and far, far more serious issue than the pornography itself, which, from my personal experience, does NOT cheapen sex, but does quite the opposite. And finally, sex need not be attached to emotional value. It does not have to be sacred if people don’t want to hold it so. Putting it up on a pedestal is either arbitrary or religious distancing of it from the performers and is wrong.

  30. BCool11717 on February 9, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    That was kinda fox newsish, the way they took Romneys quote out of context. He said a filter that can be turned on by parents for theyr children, not a filter that can’t be turned off for every1 as implied in the end of the video

  31. Kevin Uchiha on February 9, 2022 at 8:50 pm

    May i just ask you, what harm does porn cause?

  32. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    And like I said before, pornography and prostitution DO NOT breed on helplessness, unscrupulous practitioners of recruiting, contracting, etc do that. All industries have them. Attacking the industry isn’t even close to a solution to the curbing or elimination of that type of behavior.

  33. Melissa Buffaloe on February 9, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    How exactly does it harm society?

  34. James Randall on February 9, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    the filter doesn’t block porn for everyone it blocks it for people who want it blocked. huge difference.

  35. LAB on February 9, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    Things that will happen if Romney Bans Porn:

    -Lost of jobs
    -Higher unemployment rates
    -High birth rates
    -Lost of money
    -Businesses going out of business
    -Increase of students in public schools
    -Increase of children in fostercare
    -Increase in abortion rates

    Don’t ban porn, Ban Romney.
    -Increase in rape cases
    -Increase in sex abuse
    -Increase in illegal prostitution
    -increase in sex trafficking
    -Increase in teen pregnancy

  36. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    You seem to be fending off a lot of people down there so I apologize for my contributions in hassling you. Anyway, I know 3 close friends that say they’ll never have children, and they are past the age where you would expect them to change their minds and have time left (one got a vasectomy on his wedding day; I can think a few more romantic things to do on such a day, but it was at his new wife’s behest after all). But then I have one friend with 3 kids who cancels them all out. Cont.

  37. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 8:53 pm

    Besides, I think you have it backward with regard to relationships. Sex does not give meaning to relationships, relationships give meaning to sex. When having sex, meaning is not found in the act itself, but in the person. Stop holding the act so sacred.

  38. NexusCapital on February 9, 2022 at 8:56 pm

    cracks me up these guys are still talking about the left/right like it matters or is different anymore.

  39. Politically Yeast on February 9, 2022 at 8:58 pm

    How am I an idiot?

  40. irio333 on February 9, 2022 at 8:58 pm

    what harm does porn do exactly? please explain

  41. Facts Over Emotions on February 9, 2022 at 8:58 pm

    Nobody can really tell someone if they’re ready or not. It’s up to that individual person. Some chicks mature at 16, some are borderline retarded until they’re in their 30s LOL.

  42. Gracie Lou on February 9, 2022 at 9:00 pm

    well kids! grab your popcorn, click the "show the comment" and get ready for an adventure into the unknown!

  43. LeoHwzr on February 9, 2022 at 9:01 pm

    Im rich and im not for republicans… id rather not be for democrats either, but lesser evil and all that

  44. MidnightMarrow on February 9, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    Build my own comps anyways, Get fucked Romney.

  45. CongressBeta on February 9, 2022 at 9:04 pm

    Can someone please ban anuragborn2rock. Stupid troll doesn’t listen to facts.

  46. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 9:04 pm

    And, finally pornography does not depict people as mere sex objects. I disagree. It depicts people having sex, and, no, this does not cheapen sex for me, but that is probably because I have not placed an arbitrary or religious taboo on the carnal act when it doesn’t belong there.

  47. Politically Yeast on February 9, 2022 at 9:05 pm

    Great. Now if he wins I can’t buy a new computer for 4-8 years. 🙁

  48. SandBarAndYou on February 9, 2022 at 9:05 pm

    Porn doesn’t cause any harm. Just because you can’t see the harm it causes doesn’t mean it is there. And your original comment was about both porn and Romney.

  49. BLUE JDM MR2 on February 9, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    She made her millions just like Mitt Romney did so fuck everyone else

  50. Bartholomew Fatima on February 9, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    I may be intruding with my limited scope on a conversation but I wanted to respond. Pornography is a result of decreased respect for long term monogamy, not a cause. Attenuating the desire in humans to procreate is extremely valuable on this overpopulated planet. Any opportunity to undermine "traditional values" is worth supporting from my POV. "Traditional values" destroy societies if not constantly questioned and fought against.
