Questions that Gov. Romney should answer as a candidate for chief executive and law enforcement officer of the United States:

1. Do you believe the Marriott Corporation was and is wrong to sell and profit from the sale of hardcore pornographic material?

2. If so, what if any actions did you take during your decade as a member of the board of directors to stop the Marriott Corporation's distribution of hardcore pornographic videos? Did you at any time protest the company's sale of such harmful material? If you did not speak out or act to stop the corporation's sale of hardcore pornographic material, please explain how you justify having failed to do so.

3. The Brody File reports that you received $100,000 a year for your service as a member of the board. Please explain how you justify having personally profited in part from the Marriott Corporation's sale of hardcore pornographic material.

4. Do you own currently own stock in the Marriot Corporation? If so, please explain how you justify continuing to personally profit in part from the sale of hardcore pornographic material. If you currently continue to personally profit in part from the sale of hardcore pornographic material via any Marriott stock holdings, and if you believe such personal profit to be inconsistent with the "family values" theme of your presidential campaign, will you as a candidate for president publicly divest yourself of any Marriott stock holdings so as to no longer gain personal profit from the sale of hardcore pornography?

5. Do you feel morally obligated to return to the Marriot Corporation -- or better yet, donate to a charitable ministry such as The Lighted Candle Society that assists the victims of pornography and sex abuse -- whatever percentage of your compensation, if any, from your board service or stock holdings that is reasonably commensurate with the percentage of the company's overall revenues produced by its sale of hardcore pornographic material?

6. The Brody File cites an Associated Press report in April that as of three months ago, "longtime family friend J.W. Marriott...of Marriott’s hotel empire (had) donated more than $80,000 to Romney’s campaign." Given that some portion of the Marriotts' personal and corporate profits derive from the sale of hardcore pornographic material, do you feel morally obligated to return to Mr. Marriott whatever percentage of his substantial contributions to your presidential campaign might reasonably have resulted from porn profits?

7. Will you now, as a candidate for president, publicly urge the Marriott Corporation to end its multi-million-dollar annual sales of hardcore pornographic material because of the unconscionable impact such distribution has on families, women, and children?

8. Given your close personal, business, and political relationship with the Marriott Corporation and family, can the American people trust that a Romney Administration would nonetheless aggressively, faithfully, and impartially investigate and prosecute the illegal distribution of hardcore pornographic and obscene material -- including such illegal distribution, pro-family activists believe, by the Marriott Corporation and its franchise properties (as evidenced by two Cincinnati Marriott properties which in 2002 removed the chain-wide selection of porn videos under threat of criminal obscenity charges by local prosecutors)?

This is absurd. Evidently there is a huge demand for pay per view porn in hotel chains. Hotel chains make most of their money from repeat customers.

You want Marriot to go out of business? How does it help the anti-porn world if Marriot goes out of business and the other businesses, selling porn, take over Marriot’s hotels?

Why do you care so much anyway if some business traveler watches the porn?

I think those are fair questions. We supposedly live in a nation with a majority claiming belief in Christ. I know that many at the highest levels of corporations are religious but some where along the line there is a disconnect with the way they run their businesses.

Asked to comment on the Marriott Hotel chain and porn sales, conservative Christian heartthrob Fred “The Tennesee Stud” said, “Porn? I don’t buy porn. I lived it in my playboy break between my first and second marriages.”

The fact that these people think the softcore Skinemax crap on hotel pay-per-view is “hardcore” indicates they are sheltered from a even the most carefuly worded sexual Google search.

Why would he care how he made his money?

He didn’t. He must have known if he is as smart as he believes he is. Mitt is creepy as well as a flip flopper.

This is absurd. I don't think I've stayed in a hotel that didn't offer it. It's not being forced on anybody and the last time I checked this is still a free country that espouses personal responsibility.

Ridiculous.

Funny how elections bring out the loonies to pimp their causes on the coattails of the candidates.

Has this moron author ever stayed at a Holiday Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Ramada, or any other hotel which also offers softcore “porn”? If so then he contributed to the profits of those who would destroy American society and he must hereby pay Pat Robertson a tithe of 10 times the cost of his stay.

Questions I would like to ask Romney, and all of the other presidential candidates of both parties:

1. Explain how the capitalist economic system based on private property keep the free market in balance.

2. Briefly explain how Medicare Plan D works.

3. What causes inflation?

4. Are you Wealthy? How did you acquire your wealth?

5. Are your bodyguards armed?

6. What is the Constitution? (Hint: it is not a boat in Boston Harbor.)

7. Name the specific people who settled and built America.

8. Why did communism/socialism fail?

Give ‘em each five minutes.

Pornography stinks to High Heaven. Making Mitt Romney responsible for bad choices of people who stay at hotels is a real stretch.

There was a lot of fornicating and adultery and gay sex going on in those hotels, too. Is Mitt responsible for that? What about the drunkenness? All hotels have bars. Do you think the Marriott should close down the bars and shops that sell cigarettes?

I mean, people make choices, bad choices. How is this Mitt Romney’s fault?

You forgot to determine whether he was aware.

But it’s clear by your agenda that isn’t important to you.

I would bet that every one of these bluenoses has a huge stash of porn squirreled away. That's usually the way this works, like all the TV preachers that turn out to be homos and whoremongers.

Mind your own business, you damnable Bible thumping busybodies. Motes, beams, eyes, etc.
