It is also very easy to be both conservative and liberal at the same time, hell even while being an independent to boot. I personally find myself in this camp, one that is usually ignored for the most part as well. It is much easier to get the far right or left all worked up and often they typically are the most vocal.
I don't see how conservative ideals can go hand in hand with porn. Conservative judges would not allow us to exist. That is a fact. Their stance on the adult industry has been despicable in our court system. This is not something new either, it's a long standing tradition. There is a reason Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt are professed liberals.

And you're right that you can be both. I'm fiscally conservative, and of course socially liberal (which is more libertarian than anything else). I'm talking about the people on this board who say they don't like McCain because he isn't conservative enough. Who wanted guys like Giuliani and Thompson to win. Guys who came out and said they would put in judges that would hurt this industry badly. Those who supported Bush who's only conservative ideals come in the social realm.

If you are fiscally conservative in this industry, I totally understand (although you shouldn't like either party or candidates). If you are socially conservative in this country, I just don't think it gets much dumber.
