What part of "Bill Clinton decreased the prosecution of legal porn by 80% over the Republican administration" don't you understand?
You are one of those people who just can't admit that Bill Clinton did a lot of great things for this country.
There is a difference between the Democrats and Republicans. 80% difference, in fact.
Wake up.

Mr. Fiction,
I think Clinton was an excellent president. I am not attacking Clinton. I am pointing out that he was ANTI-PORN. He signed legislation that proves he was anti-porn. He publicly disagreed with the Supreme Court after they ruled CDA unconstitutional. Nothing you say can changes that very simple fact. It is a matter of very public record. Clinton was ANTI-porn, not PRO-porn.
Your argument is that during the Clinton administration the prosecution of legal porn decreased 80% but all the while he was signing and defending legislation that would have made illegal 90% of all porn web sites - as is. I'm glad there were less obscenity prosecutions under Clinton than under Bush but I was extremely disappointed when he signed that bill.
How can you ignore the fact that legislation is IMMENSELY important to our business and single-mindledly focus on prosecutions?
Clinton was not a shining light for pornography. He was exactly the opposite. If it weren't for the Supreme Court we'd probably only be accepting VISA cards as proof of age to view pics on a free site. No more free samples, no TGPs, no galleries, no nude tours. (Though some would argue that would be better for business).
You are confusing YOUR beliefs with your party's beliefs. You have every right to put your party politics AHEAD of your business if you wish. The democratic party is not going to defend porn. They didn't defend porn. "Legalize porn" is not on the Democractic party platform. Porn is NOT a party issue.
Just answer this for me, please. If Bush were to sign CDA today, would you be upset and rail against "the evil Republicans"? Obviously. Were you upset when Clinton signed CDA? As the operator of free sites at the time, I was scared shitless when Clinton signed CDA. Are you new here?
Why do you refuse to hold two presidents up to the same standard? Why do you point to evidence in favor if your position on the one hand but completely ignore the evidence that contradicts it? I know the answer. You know the answer. Everyone knows the answer. Party politics.
It's US vs. THEM. Not US against SOME OF THEM.
