Can someone please explain this to me? I just don't get it. If you're livelihood is based on the buying/selling of adult material, how can you be a diehard Republican? It's a party that has statistically brought much more obscenity cases forward than other parties. It is a party that supports judges that don't believe pornography is protected under the first amendment. It's a party that has a President that has spoken at groups that are strictly made to fight against pornography. A President who has lashed out against the industry and stated we needed tough laws to stop it. A party that has appointed a DOJ that has put some of the most difficult and stringent laws on internet pornography that we've ever seen.

Is it just fiscal conservatism that drives people in the industry to support them? I mean I'm all for low taxes and small government, but the party really isn't about that these days. It spends more then Democrats and borrows to do it.

So can someone explain it to me then? The pioneers in the industry like Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt who have made it possible for us to even sell this stuff are diehard Democrats.

And I'm not a Democrat either. I can't stand big entitlement programs and feel that taking money from me to fund other people is more or less stealing. I'd classify myself as a Libertarian, which I'd think most people in this industry should be.

Can anyone explain it to me? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or rude, just extremely curious.
