Newt Gingrich -- Child Labor laws are Dumb

Get out the bucket and the sponge, kids! Time to clean the school again. Since Republicans generally oppose minimum wage laws as well, we may be well on our way to becoming a manufacturing country again! (Just this time we will have 12 year olds making $1 a day, but was 1911 really that bad??? I mean, William Howard Taft and all?).
Query -- does Gingrich feel the same about child pornography laws? I mean, after all, we protect children from pornography on the basis that they are vulnerable and often taken advantage of. If a 7 year old can scrub the floors of his 2nd grade hallways, can a 17 year old Britney Spears do nude modeling? Straight porn? I mean, come on. If child labor laws are "stupid" then why are we defending certain of these laws? If a girl is 16, married and has two kids, why then Newt do we "protect" her from certain jobs?

Really, HM, with that Poll question? Lately I have been defending Vikings fans and calling Lions' fan the dumbest, shitiest fans in the division. Maybe I was wrong, and Vikings' fans should not be defended? Wish you had not not deleted the post from two years where you predicted the Bears would have be the worst team in the division. Since then Vikes winless against the Bears and the Bears won the division and this season have 7 wins. But then again no one assumes you have any knowledge about pro football.
