Eh.... I don't see anything inconsistent with playing low stakes poker back in college and thinking that online gaming is dangerous for our country.

I'm not saying I agree with him but I don't see the hypocrisy.

makes sense if you look at it a little more objectively

if you start preaching about 'contraception' to 12 year old girls and boys, then its safe to say you got them thinking about sex more than they would if you weren't constantly reminding them.

Explaining what a condom does and how the pill works etc. The next think you know, you have 12 year olds banging each other that never would have had sex in the first place because they weren't being 'prepped' to have premature sex complete with detailed instructions.

I do agree that the statement on the surface sounds ridiculous, but it still has some merit imo

And for some reason two plus two has an advertisement promoting this guy. Seriously, why would two plus two have an advertisement for a presidential cannidate who will do everything in his power to derail online poker legislation? Shame on you two plus two.

Were you ever 12?

I didn't need mom or dad to talk to me about sex for it to be on my mind.

I'm pretty sure I spent like 90% of my waking life in my teens thinking about sex/boobs/girls/ways to impress girls etc.

edited to add: And for the record, I didn't lose my virginity till 18. Thinking about sex and having sex and being prepared in case you do choose to have sex are completely different things.

I'm a registered Republican (who lives in Idaho) and I would vote for Obama over Santorum.

I mean, why is anyone surprised by this? Why would anyone think this news is at all interesting? ALL POLITICIANS ARE HYPOCRITS.

The reason so many people have such a love boner for Ron Paul is that he isn't a hypocrit, which makes him 1 in 537.
