ROMNEY: CBN's Brody reports on an issue that could get traction in evangelical circles in the South: "Some anti-pornography groups are demanding answers as to how much presidential candidate Mitt Romney knew about the Marriott hotel chain's profits of pornography sales during his nearly ten years on the Board of Directors in the 1990s. The hotel chain is one of many that offer pay-per-view sex videos for sale through in-room entertainment."

I’ll say it once again: Can we quit posting this CHEAP GARBAGE? I’m NOT supporting Mitt, but in the event he does get the nomination, do we really want to be promoting this muckraking, holier-than-thou CRAP?

I’m a porn enabler, too, then.

I pay my ISP a monthly fee for internet access. My ISP undoubtedly profits from illicit bits passing through their routers...

....therefore, like Mitt, I must be as guilty of promoting porn as Larry Flynt...QED

C’mon folks, I don’t want Mitt for prez, but this stuff is pathetic.

Sam, did you serve with policy-making authority on the board of a corporation that SELLS the stuff?

If not, your analogy falls.

I got news for you, an anti-Romney movement is going to have traction in the South, but it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with porn. It has absolutely everything to do with his choice of religious denomination.

I’ll be ripped apart for saying that, but it’s just the truth. We don’t have many Mormons down here, and for all the disagreements that religious denominations have down here, the one thing they all agree on is that there is just something about Mormonism that doesn’t sit right. And I’m describing the metro areas here. Go into the country, and just imagine that effect amplified.

Doesn’t have a damn thing to do with pornography, and in fact, you may be the only person I know of who is opposed to Mitt because he’s a “porn merchant”

I’m with you on that!

First let me clarify my lack of support for Romney as a candidate: I am not a Romney supporter. Go Fred!

That being said, I believe that these continuous attacks by this thread poster and others like him/her are just blatant anti-Mormonism.

And no, I am not a Mormon. Get off your high horse AFA.

“You may be the only person I know of who is opposed to Mitt because he’s a ‘porn merchant’...

That’s because you don’t sit in on the quarterly DC meeting of national and state anti-porn groups, Azalea. Your not knowing them has no impact on their existence, of course, nor does it limit their influence and constituencies.

But, be advised that I’m also opposed to Mitt because he spent over a decade promoting abortion on demand, endorsing “gays in the military” and just about every other element of homosexual activists’ political agenda, and promoting gun control.

Saying porn movies were partly responsible for the VA Tech shootings, after having done nothing to stop the corp of which he was a director from selling $30 mil a year of the same stuff...that’s just icing on the cake.

Well this convinces me. Don't listen to people talk about people they know nothing about.
