First the pemise to say all Republicans want to ban porn is FALSE.
Second it is NOT a priority when we have terrorist issue and economy.
Third, porn - regular intercouse porn is no longer taboo in any county.
Fourth - too much money in main stream companies with porn.
BUT even if the republicans would try to shut us down, for ME - the security of the UNITED STATES is more important short term, then my right to sling porn, or me losing my business....

Well, true, any blanket statement is false...like this belief that all democrats are brainwashed minion and all republicans freethinkers....I think both parties have their brainwashed minions who will never change their minds....and both parties have their freethinkers...
Not all republicans want to ban porn, but the ones who do are in very high offices....call it atheist paranoia, but anyone who is that devout that his God has a bigger penis than anyone else's scares me....I grew up in a very mormon town and actually currently live in a town that is heavily mormon....look at the Nevada ballot initiatives.....the Mormon powers that be got their wishes....shot down the porposed legalization of marijuana and actually were able to push through what the "legal definition of marriage" is....basically a way of depriving gay couples rights that married couples might have (death benefits, hospital visitation, etc.).
But, like Ulfie, I don't vote straight partyline either, but my voting does tend to drift towards the more liberal just because of my atheist paranoia...
Mike, do you really believe the priority will TRULY be national security, or do you think it will ultimately become an excuse to pass whatever restrictive measures they wish in the name of protecting the country? I'm not trying to start a piss, just curious of your views on that particular matter (that I don't mind stating, just bothers the hell out of me)? Maybe I'm paranoid due to watching my neighbors in Wyoming get their farms taken away from them and their property stolen by the Government through eminent domain to build a road no one ever ended up using anyways, so have this built in government paranoia....while I don't think the Government as a whole is "out to get me" I worry about the PEOPLE that make up that entity and the dwindling checks and balances...all in the name of feeling a little safer....
