While it is true that certain Democrats are the nanny state type when it comes to media (like Tipper Gore), it's actually mostly right-wing groups that lobby for censorship -- in particular, there are the American Family Association, the Family Research Council, and the Catholic League.lowing wrote:
Oh, what to do what to do!!
How can a parent simply walk over to the god damned TV and turn the thing off and kick the kids into the back yard with a football? Where in the world could a parent find the strength to challenge a kid like that? If only there was some way for a parent to actually be in control over their home and their kids.
Who could the parents blame for their kids lack of outdoor activity? Democratic Party, save the American parent from responsibility for raising their own rug rats!! Find us someone to blame quick!!!
So really, if you want to blame anyone, blame the Republicans that support these groups.

On social issues, Republicans more often take away your choices (see abortion). On economic issues, you are mostly correct about Democrats though.lowing wrote:
I brought the Democratic Party into this because there is only one party that traditionally wants to take responsibility, choice and control away from the citizen and put it into the hands of the govt. That is the democratic party. Hence we need a good democrat or an ACLU lawyer to tell us who actually is at fault for the failure of raising a kid. I was being a smart ass with no intention of following through at length with it, but if you wanna discuss it, we can
You do realize that this poll was done on no more than only 1600 adults; all of which are most likely right-wing-republican-un-self-thinking-dumbass's. There are more than 309 million people in the US. Who the hell cares what 1600 dumbass adults who have never touched a video game because it scares them and they just believe whatever someone says about it.
