#Sopatorum: Santorum Supports SOPA.

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.

    Heck, I’m more concerned about Santorum supporting SOPA than all his Senate votes that Erick wrote up.

    He clearly says in the video that is not familiar SOPA to say whether is for or against it.

    His answer was more of a speech against piracy and the idea of unlimited freedom. His opinion is one person’s freedom ends when it infringes another person’s.

      he doesn’t wish to answer. The guy’s whole career has been one of concentrating power in DC. Why would you think for a second he’d be opposed to SOPA.

        What I think he would do is irrelevant. The headline is inaccurate. “Santorum supports SOPA” is wrong since he never said so. “My Opinion: Santorum supports SOPA” would be correct. I might even see how “Santorum supports the Principles of SOPA” is acceptable.

          Sheesh.

      I would not say that this is accurate: “[Santorum's] opinion is one person

    And the left is not justified in worries of bedroom police?
