Mitt Romney vows to ban pornography by installing a filter on every U.S. PC

Mitt Romney's sterile envrionment
Before he was the presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney was just a guy giving a speech, trying to woo conservative voters. In 2007 Romney exposed some of his more extreme positions while speaking during a town hall meeting in Ottumwa, Iowa at the Hotel Ottuma. One such position which Mitt rarely discloses now is his deep desire to make it mandatory for pornography filters to be added to all new computers entering The United States.

In specific Romney said, "I want to make sure every new computer sold in this country, after I'm president, has installed on it a filter to block all pornography." He went on to say that he would do it for the children. The full video is in the left-hand margin of this article.

Now you could rationalize "Romney just said it once. Maybe I can let that slide." Except here is another video, from a different day, where he says the exact same thing. In fact, he begins his statement with the exact same phrase, "clean up the dirty water."

well A-kins... I had to google to find the source of your article... no surprise in what I found. http://www.examiner.com/article/mitt-romney-vows-to-ban-pornography-by-installing-a-filter-on-every-u-s-pc  Then I went to the links in the article to verify what was said and in context.  First link was the entire 27 minute speech by Romney at Des Moines (great speech btw), never mentioned what the article said was mentioned so I figured I'd go to the second link that was supposed to be the "full video".. I got "video unavailable"...  what a poorly constructed hatchet piece...


But I finally found it... I think it needs to be put in context... he wants filters AVAILABLE for the parents to decide if they want them turned on or OFF... oh how controlling of him!!!!

Watch for yourself...
