If you make a living in adult, how can you be a diehard Republican?
 

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.

Social conservatives are generally fearful and weak minded people. Logic doesn't really factor in to their thought process.

Most social conservatives are closet sexual predators and/or drug addicts anyway. The word hypocrite was invented for these people.

stickyfingerz?

That seems to be the trend now doesn't it? :321GFY

I dont even need to write anything now.

Because not all reps are neocons. Some are like Ron Paul (yes he is a lib but has an R next to his name). Let the people be free to do what they want. If Paul was President 2257 would have been vetoed.

That would make him a LIBERTARIAN

He is registered as a Rep even though he is a Lib. And a Lib is what this country needs right now. The dems and reps are not going to give us our freedoms back. They will only take more and more away.

Shut up frenchie.. :winkwink:

Simple really people like Sticky assume if a republican is in control, taxes will go away and that put money in their pocket. Of course they fail to realize these same republicans want to ban porn and thus take away their way of making a living. Having a lower tax rate doens't do a damned bit of good if your income is ZERO.

They also assume if a Dem is in controll taxes will go up. Taxes have been lowered under Dems and risin under Republcians. One reason Daddy Bush lost is because he reneged on "Read my lips. No new taxes" pledge.

Well he needs to run as a libertarian beause that's what he is and he's not going to get the republican nomination.

I guess as Americans we just goto have a label for everything...

Ya know thats kinda really stupid and demonstrates why America as a whole is about as bright as a blond slut stuck in a church...

Yep. Just like most social liberals are baby killers and faggots.

Idiot.

He just won the strawpoll in NH with 65% rudy was second with 8%

A lot of people counted out Clinton too.

Wasn't there a recent poll about a decent percentage of Republicans not believing in evolution?

That should explain something....

I'd like to see him run as one. He wouldn't win, but if he could get even 5% of the vote, it would lend a little credence to the party. Since neither party stands for small government anymore, it would be nice to see a 3rd party come along that does stand for that.

It's a party that you'd be able to SELL alot of porn and other shit at that they publicly are so adamantly against. That's what kinda party a republican one is!

Straw polls mean squat. Big deal NH has what 5 delegates? Is he going to win NY? No. He is from Texas so maybe if he can pull that off he can win. Another thingin his favor there isn't Bush type that is dominating like 2000. So Rudy McCain, Romney and Fred Thompson may split the vote so small that a guy like Paul has a chance.

That is plausible. McCain is on the down swing. Rudy will say something really stupid, Thompson will be seen through and a Mormon will never win.

I do hope that if he does not get the Rep no he runs and an I. We need him now more than ever.

I think if he ran as a 3rd party he would get a lot more than 5% There is a strong movement that the media is ignoring.

I'd love to see it happen but he doesn't have a shot in hell in a primary. The primary is for diehard voters, not the casual internet fans who have supported him. He hasn't even registered in some polls. It would take Romney being caught in a hardcore foursome with Rudy, Thompson, McCain, and a baby panda to put Paul in the hunt.

I still donated some money to his campaign because I think the more his ideas get out there the better. But in the end, the Republican party is not going to allow someone to get a nomination that is for people having minds of their own.

It's real tough for 3rd parties to get on the ballot in many states. It's the one thing that both parties can agree on.

Yep he would have to find a lot of money just to get on the ballot not to mention actually run an independent campaign. There is a lot of talk about NY Mayor Bloomberg running as an independent and financing much of it himself. That would ass some fun to the race.

I guess no Republicans have an answer for why they support their party.

I don't think the majority of the republicans really support the party. I just think they like getting hoodwinked by the republicans more then they like getting hoodwinked by the democrats. That's all.

Paul unfortunately doesnt have enough money,the third party candidate to watch if he decides to run will be bloomberg. He will answer to no one, he said if he decided to run he would use 500 million of his own money. They are all scared shitless of him and he is also one of the few who can talk from experience about the fucking mess rudy left in NYC,that he had to clean up.

If you havent noticed after the new 2257 regs came out today,they have been very quiet as a group.

It scares me when I agree with you. :thumbsup

As much as I dislike Rudy, he cleaned up Manhattan and made it the safest large city in America.

Actually he was a pretty shitty mayor I liked in NYC while he was in office.He also left a financial mess for bloomberg to clean up.

The US is starting to think out side the 2 parties. It is the nature of what the US is. That is why Ron Paul is having this upswing. You know what you get with him, and that is more freedoms.

I think we have both always agreed that freedom of thought, no matter how asinine we think it is, should be allowed. Like Ron Paul said "I dont want to defend everything that is on the internet but I believe it can be self regulated" paraphrased. :thumbsup

From an economic standpoint I tend to favor conservative views. But on social issues I am more liberal. Whatever that would make me.

Libertarian. But would you ever vote for one or do you think you must choose between the lesser of two evils?
