He is named after J. Willard Marriott, the founder of Marriott, who was best friends with George Romney, Mitt's father.
Mitt served on the board of Marriott, until he decided to become a candidate. (at which time Marriott hotels stopped supporting viewing of pornographic movies by hotel guests)
J. Willard Marriott's son, Richard, has has been in charge of Marriott, and is a past head of THE NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION.
This explains everything.
And a member of the mormon church. And people say we shouldn't look at romney's religion. If this story grows legs and is true - then we will have seen the good 'ol mormon boy network at work.
This Marriot guy sounds like a real dick...
The chickens comin home to roost.
Uh oh: Witness found to Cain incidents? (Linked to ... Perry supporters??)

Good find!
It gets better. Until the early ‘60s American’s of African descent were not allowed to hold Priesthood until LDS President David O. McKay had a “vision” that they should be allowed.

The AFL-CIO's Eddie Vale attacked the Marriott hotel chain over allegations that the hotel giant [Marriott] may have eliminated its profitable pornography options to help Mitt Romney's presidential chances.

I hate the thought of it, but this attempt to destroy Herman Cain does look like it comes from Republicans and not the left. That doesn’t mean I won’t use it to show the hypocrisy of the leftist media. Should this be proven to be a Romney or Perry stunt, I hope it destroys them.
This sounds a little bit like “7 degrees of Kevin Bacon” but if this is true and can be tied to Mitt or his campaign then Mittens is TRUELY TOASTY!
Of course he’s behind it. I never doubted it for a second.
You also need to add that Richard Marriott is a fellow Harvard MBA, as is Mittens.
Interestingly, the article lists Stephanie Vallejo as the author.
You have claimed to be the author yourself.
Isn’t there a word for this behavior?
Plagiarism or something?
Freakin’ thief.
Cain says he thinks it was Perry. I would have to bet on Mitt.
You find out that the theater shows family-rated fair. But there's a "back entrance" for their XXX showings. You also find out they give $ to Planned Parenthood.
Would you, as an alleged "devout Mormon," continue to take the position knowing that a portion of your salary comes from their porn industry intake? What would you feel knowing that this theater's $ goes to the largest child-killing organization in the world (Planned Parenthood)?
Well, that's Mitt Romney for you. He's done the exact equivalent of the above!!!
Even the Mormon church-owned Deseret News wrote an editorial on July 10, 2007, saying this about Mitt:
Pornography taints everything it touches. Mitt Romney should have understood that. So should the Marriott Corp. and other hotel owners who offer hard-core movies in hotel rooms. Romney caught a bit of flack last week because he spent nearly 10 years on the Marriott board and yet never tried to reverse the company’s policy of providing pornography on demand, something J.W. “Bill” Marriott Jr., defended in a 2000 letter as being economically important. ...For a presidential candidate who has railed against pornography, this is not entirely insignificant. Even if the subject never came up at a board meeting, one can argue that at least part of the $25,000 plus stock he was paid annually for his board membership came from the money some hotel guests paid for access to the films.
Source: The nasty taint of porn
So, that was as of '07 that he had taken $25,000 annually, plus stock from Marriott for being part of their board. He temporarily resigned from the board in '07; but then returned. And now he's repeating his '07 pattern.
Hmmm....I simply didn't know that "devout Mormons" regularly receive $25,000 or more per year as part of the porn industry...
And look who's boycotted Marriott:
...Life Decisions International-- for giving $ to Planned Parenthood [this link gives a few of other chains owned by Marriott]
…and then there’s (from Fall 2009) Marriott Boycotted Over Porn
Per that latter article: AIDS Healthcare and Pink Cross foundations have organized a boycott of Marriott hotels over porn. The protest is not about the Mormon-founded chain's in-room, X-rated offerings. No, that's just fine. The problem, according to the groups, is the hotel company's palette of on-demand smut that features actors who do not use condoms.
Ah. Even the pro-porn liberals were boycotting Marriott because the porn prostitutes it indirectly hired to cater to their voyeuristic guests didn't use condoms! And the Mittster was taking a cut from Marriott's porn profits!
[Oh, BTW, because the top guy of Marriott -- Bill Marriott -- is a hierarchy Mormon leader...Marriott announced within the past year that it would slowly phase out its porn offerings...Hmmm...So Marriott has carried porn for at least 22 years and what, they're going to say 25 years is "enough"...because an alleged "devout Mormon" heads the Marriott show???]
Re: Planned Parenthood..."Devout ole" Mitt...ever since his wife Ann, donated to Planned Parenthood in 1994...and he ensured that Planned Parenthood had a permanent board oversight position of RomneyCare in the Bay State, he just continues to find a way to at least indirectly help 'em out!
