Porn industry poll shows strong support for Obama over Romney
LA Times ^ | 10/11/12 | Jim Puzzanghera

WASHINGTON -- Here's an X-rated endorsement you're unlikely to see touted in any campaign commercials: People in the adult entertainment industry strongly support President Obama over Republican Mitt Romney.

Those are the results of a poll of 339 respondents by XBIZ.net, an industry social network. The poll found 68% of people in the San Fernando Valley-based porn industry said they would like Obama to win the election, compared with 13% for Romney.

Fourteen percent said they preferred "someone else" and 5% said they didn't care.

But the Obama campaign is unlikely to do any dancing over the results of this poll.

Steven A. Hirsch, chief executive of Los Angeles-based Vivid Entertainment, said the porn industry's support for the more liberal candidate makes sense.

"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,” Hirsch told XBIZ Newswire.

“Social issues are more important than fiscal issues and they will support a candidate who shares their beliefs," he said.

Hustler founder Larry Flynt, who last month publicly offered $1 million for anyone who could produce Romney's tax returns or details of his financial activities, also told XBIZ Newswire he wasn't surprised by Obama's lead among people who work in the adult entertainment industry.

Neither was Patrick Trueman, president of Morality in Media, an organization that opposes pornography and indecency.

He said the Obama administration's Justice Department has not enforced federal laws prohibiting the distribution of hardcore pornography.

Muslims, gays, feminists, communists, and any other group which opposes Biblical Christian values supports the Dem’s. Why would anyone be surprised that the porn industry shares Democrat values?

What was the straight porn vs. gay porn split?

I watch for selection bias in every poll.

A lot of gay lorn performers are straight, and of course it’s all the same directors, producers, financiers, etc. Maybe some of them specialize, but I wouldn’t guess they’re statistically significant.

“”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,” Hirsch told XBIZ Newswire. “

Not the ones I know of here in L.A., especially the one who don’t live in the SF valley. Leave it to the LAT to interview another brain-dead lib like Hirsch when smaller prodn companies like Bluebird and a couple of my friends on Live Jasmine outsells Vivid videos on PPV and CC purchase. Like what Clint said, there are LOTS of right-wingers in L.A. but they chose to shut up instead of dogging it.

In spite of folks like Harry Reid and at least the Massachusetts Governor flavor of Mitt Romney, the LDS still tends to pose itself as a champion of clean living as known in the more mainstream Judeo-Christian ethic. In spite of its crazy theology there’s still enough of a hint of Jesus Christ about the LDS that most unbelievers hate it.

Ho, hum. Didn't Romney just recently release most of his past tax returns? I hope his staffers track down Flynt to collect the $1 million.

Frank Marshall Davis

From Accuracy In Media | AIM.ORG

Obama’s Red Mentor Was a Pervert
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | August 24, 2008

Clearly, this is liberal pro-Obama media bias by omission.

Covering a sensitive and explosive subject that has been off-limits for the major U.S. media, the London Daily Telegraph is now claiming that Communist Frank Marshall Davis was a strong influence over a young Barack Obama for nine years of his life, rather than just four, and was a sex pervert and pothead. The Telegraph article alleges that Davis was a bisexual engaged in “sordid” sexual activities and had repeated sexual encounters with a 13-year-old girl. ..."

Those were some of the initial observations by Dr. John C. Drew, PhD, on his second encounter with Barack Obama who was attending Occidental College at the time. ..."
