Porn industry poll shows strong support for Obama over Romney
LA Times ^ | 10/11/12 | Jim Puzzanghera

WASHINGTON -- Here's an X-rated endorsement you're unlikely to see touted in any campaign commercials: People in the adult entertainment industry strongly support President Obama over Republican Mitt Romney.

Those are the results of a poll of 339 respondents by XBIZ.net, an industry social network. The poll found 68% of people in the San Fernando Valley-based porn industry said they would like Obama to win the election, compared with 13% for Romney.

Fourteen percent said they preferred "someone else" and 5% said they didn't care.

But the Obama campaign is unlikely to do any dancing over the results of this poll.

Steven A. Hirsch, chief executive of Los Angeles-based Vivid Entertainment, said the porn industry's support for the more liberal candidate makes sense.

"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,” Hirsch told XBIZ Newswire.

“Social issues are more important than fiscal issues and they will support a candidate who shares their beliefs," he said.

Hustler founder Larry Flynt, who last month publicly offered $1 million for anyone who could produce Romney's tax returns or details of his financial activities, also told XBIZ Newswire he wasn't surprised by Obama's lead among people who work in the adult entertainment industry.

Neither was Patrick Trueman, president of Morality in Media, an organization that opposes pornography and indecency.

He said the Obama administration's Justice Department has not enforced federal laws prohibiting the distribution of hardcore pornography.

Porn is the lowest of the low, the most vile filth live in those sewers. These are the people who would benefit the world most by vanishing off the face of the Earth.

Have you noticed EVERYONE in porno films is a “porn star”? How come there is no porn “character actors” or porn “cameo appearances” or porn “bit part actors”?

“Social issues are more important than fiscal issues and they will support a candidate who shares their beliefs," he said.

Only an idiot libtard would think and/or say such a thing. When it comes down to job security, cost of living, basic freedoms, national security... Who marries who and birth control don't even rate as background noise.

If everything in your life is so golden that all you have to worry about is some college flunky's birth control, or which groups some fast food company contributes to...well bravo for you. The vast majority of the rest of us have much more pressing concerns a heck of a lot closer to home.

My Favorite Porn = http://www.armyaircorpsmuseum.org/Pinups.cfm

That other junk, no thanks. I got lucky and married a beautiful woman over 40 years ago and although she is now 60, she still turns heads and I could never see a reason to look elsewhere...
