Republicans like to write their own beliefs onto Mitt Romney. They all have their theories about how he's a secret teabagger, or a secret hawk, or a secret centrist. Over at Tucker Carlson's vanity project/conservative Huffington Post ripoff, The Daily Caller, there's a story that suggests someone might have finally gotten a glimpse of a real Romney plan:
Former Justice Department official Patrick Trueman, who proudly participated in federal pornography prosecutions during their âheydayâ in the late 1980s and early 1990s, told The Daily Caller that Mitt Romneyâs campaign assured him that Romney would âvigorouslyâ prosecute pornographers if elected president.
Trueman, the president of Morality in Media, contacted the Romney campaign earlier this year about the âuntreated pandemicâ of Internet pornography. âThey got back to us right away,â he said...â[Romney policy director Alex] Wong assured us that Romney is very concerned with this, and that if heâs elected these laws will be enforced,â Trueman told TheDC. âThey promised to vigorously enforce federal adult obscenity laws.â
A bunch of lawsuits against pornographers sure sounds like smaller government to me!
