#SopaTorum: Santorum Supports Sopa.

RESIZE: AAA

Oh, this is going to be FUN. Either one of two things happen now for supports: 1) They abandon him because they realize he’s a big government conservative; 2) They start supporting SOPA as “logical.”

“My general feeling is that we have a free market and a free market that works; but, like any freedom–there has to be regulation….”

Watch the entire thing. I’d thought he would just say “I’m not familiar with it.” But, no, he continues on and on about how it needs regulation.

EDIT:

There have been some people on Twitter saying the title is misleading. This is incorrect. In the video Santorum says “in regards to that specific bill.. I can’t say I have an opinion of it. However, I can give you an idea of what I’ve always said… that there are limits to the the freedom on the internet.” From there, he continues on with his nonsense about how we need to regulate away pornography and piracy. Which, of course, is SOPA itself.

    RedState didn’t seem to want to load so it accidentally posted twice and posted incorrectly. Hopefully a mod can fix this.

    I listened and it sure sounds like he supports regulation of the internet. He doesn’t seem to understand that “regulation” soon turns into “big sister is going to crush your freedom of speech”. Supporting SOPA will not play well in the general, or the primaries. Good catch Constitutional. This needs to be addressed and if he does support SOPA this needs to be highlighted on all the Conservative sights and particularly in South Carolina.

    This will go over REALLY well with conservatives (I speak in jest). People are hopping mad about SOPA and I’ve heard (from my techno-savvy brother) that there’s actually talk of an Internet blackout to drive the point home. Keep digging up these little gems of opposition research.
