LOS ANGELES, October 12, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com)—If the election were held today, Barack Obama would win in a landslide—if only pornographers voted. The vast majority of people who make their living in the pornography industry hope Barack Obama will serve another term, according to a new poll taken by the industry’s media website.
XBiz.com asked 339 people in the multi-billion dollar industry which candidate they support in the presidential election, and the result was not close. Barack Obama won 68 percent of the vote. Republican Mitt Romney placed a distant third with 13 percent, one point behind “someone else.”
“The results aren’t really surprising because most people involved with the adult industry have a liberal view of government and how it should work,” said Steven A. Hirsch, the CEO of Vivid Entertainment, one of the leading studios in the porn business. “Social issues are more important than fiscal issues and they will support a candidate who shares their beliefs.”
Hustler magnate Larry Flynt agreed the results were “not surprising.”
Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder closed the Obscenity Prosecution Task Force earlier this year.
“The porn industry is flourishing because the Obama administration has given it a green light to distribute hardcore porn to every man, woman, and child in America,” said Pat Trueman, the president of Morality in Media and a former prosecutor in the Reagan administration’s porn crackdown.
Trueman has said a future Romney administration will be tougher on obscenity.
Flynt’s public support for Democrats stretches back to his opposition to President Ronald Reagan and a high-profile clash with the late Reverend Jerry Falwell in the 1980s. During the Clinton years, he offered vast sums of money for those who could provide evidence of Republicans’ extra-martial affairs.
More recently, he made a pornographic film mocking Sarah Palin and her family and said that Palin “did a disservice to every woman in America” by not aborting her special needs son, Trig.
Ping!
Flynt is a pig.
Obamanism IS pornography.
Obama is a Natural Porn Citizen.
The tragically ironic voice of Sodom.
I’m surprised it’s that low.
“I’m surprised it’s that low.”
The other 32% are also liars.
Yes, I expected it to be over 90%.
I see a tax on this industry’s products as an excellent option for government funding. They aren’t concerned about fiscal issues, they have a lot of money, and they support candidates that want to raise taxes. It’s a perfect storm for a 98% special tax rate!
Hey if they want their taxes raised to the max, they can’t can’t complain. Share the wealth indeed.

The minute anybody in , or representing a Lefty Administration deems fit to impose more punitive taxes on “the indusry”, is the minute the approval of the “progressive
Left” starts to decline in the industry. The Left will never
go very far in expressing moral disapproval of the industry,
but they will at least pretend to fight against “right-wing” bluestockings (mere shadowboxing and nose-thumbing)It is all part of their big, sloppy “social issues” package.The fact is, porn people constitute a constituency no one really wants to be identified with; their vote may be acceptable as individuals, but not as politically charged members of a “community”.
Wow who are the 32 percent porno patriots?
These people enjoy being screwed.
Do they just not like high taxes or what?
Somewhere I read, Obama porn supporters were thought to be around 47% of the population.
