In a survey taken on an adult entertainment social networking site,
pornographers overwhelmingly supported President Barack Obama over candidate
Mitt Romney.
The poll, taken by XBIZ.net and announced Wednesday, found that of 339
respondents 68 percent favored President Obama versus 13 percent for Romney,
or a margin of about 5 to 1. Nineteen percent responded either "someone
else" or "I don't care."
Patrick Trueman, president and CEO of the anti-pornography group Morality in
Media, told The Christian Post that the disparity is likely due to the GOP'
s efforts against the porn industry.
"Historically, the Republican Party has shown more interest in protecting
children and families from the scourge of pornography though the laws we
have on the federal books were past almost unanimously so that means
significant Democratic Party support," said Trueman.
"It is interesting that the porn industry thought this would be noteworthy
and released it. I think the Obama Campaign would be embarrassed by the
solid support of pornographers."
In August, the Republican National Convention added language to the party
platform that expanded their stated opposition to pornography from just
child porn to adult porn as well. The new language reads that "current laws
on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, was able to get the
language into the platform as a delegate at the GOP Convention.
Tom McClusky, senior vice president for FRC Action, told The Christian Post
in an earlier interview that it was Perkins "who recognized the problem and
drafted the language to make the platform stronger."
"The original language mirrored previous platforms and only addressed
Internet and child pornography," said McClusky. "As we have seen in previous
administrations, including the current one, they all but ignore enforcing
the other laws on the books that deal with adult pornography and obscenity."
Steven Hirsch, CEO of Vivid Entertainment, a major adult film producer, said
in a statement to XBIZ that the results of the poll were of no surprise.
"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 Hirsch.
"Social issues are more important than fiscal issues and they will support a
candidate who shares their beliefs."
Trueman of MIM told CP that he felt the XBIZ poll could have an impact on
the November election, as it could further mobilize those interested in
advancing traditional family values.
"To people concerned with 'family issues' it will mean a lot. Every family
in America has either been harmed by pornography or is worried about the
harm," said Trueman.
"We have laws on the books to protect children and families from the scourge
of pornography but … President Obama refuses to enforce those laws." | P*********0
