It seems to me that many GOP politicians think that by coming out against gay marriage early and often, they can totally ignore the fiscally conservative side of the platform and continue with the big government, big pork, business as usual.

It is not religion - it is common morals (which, you are right, usually do stem from religion...). Every normal person hates child pornography, so the scumbag McCain thinks he can play the same ticket as Hilary Clinton and make him self out to be mister nice guy. Of course not only would his bill have no/little affect (on child pornographer, it would have plenty of affect on us) but I doubt it would ever be enforced/he will ever push it through. He is a scumbag and this is a popularity stunt, that he knows will appeal to religious people with morals AND NONreligious people with morals. Little 'Ol McCain is planning on running for President - that is all this is..
