South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian put out a statement Wednesday in response to the Laurens County GOP’s resolution asking potential candidates to pledge that they’ve never had pre-marital sex, and will never look at porn again. 

<blockquote>The Laurens County Republican Party is requiring a written pledge by all candidates for state and local office swearing off porn and sex. This requirement is being endorsed by Republican Party Chairman Chad Connelly explaining they were all “wearing the same uniform.”

Since it is apparent porn and sex must be a big enough problem in the Republican Party to warrant a written pledge to avoid them, I would be very cautious about getting into a small space like a bathroom or a voting booth with a Republican.

 With this state facing huge economic, employment and educational issues the state Republican Party is following the lead of Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum and are more worried about what goes on in the bedroom than the classroom.</blockquote>
