Like most people who follow politics and pornography, I feel that porn is safe from Mitt Romney. For the man to say he’s going to force porn filters or uphold obscenity laws to the highest degree is like a child running for 5th grade class president saying he’s going to enact chocolate milk drinking fountains and pizza for lunch every day. He’s just saying shit his people want to hear so they’ll vote for him.
If he were to become president there will be no pizza or chocolate milk unless somebody is cramming it in their butt on XTube because porn isn’t going anywhere. But the giant barbed dildo of public opinion swings both ways.
The GOP platform keeps telling its constituents that obscenity laws need to be vigorously enforced. This is primarily to gain the support of Christian extremists like MiM (Morality in Media) who want to force their beliefs on everyone else. However, not every Republican is hyper religious or against porn – in fact most of them are probably for it. These are the people telling everyone that Mitt Romney won’t attack porn any more than Bush did, but the fact of the matter is Romney’s staff keeps saying otherwise.
Forbes wanted to know what some of the biggest figures in the American porn industry have to say about the issue, and the results don’t look very good for Mr. Romney. Roger Diamond, attorney for shit-flick mogul Ira Isaacs, said any effort to prosecute obscenity cases would be a waste of money, but that the idea of it would “put a chill in Southern California.” This is indeed true. The only ways to make money around here are to go to work for health insurance companies or pornography, and I’m way too good of a person to work in health insurance.
They also asked Lisa Ann, the closest thing porn has to a political pundit thanks to her portrayal of Sarah Palin. Lisa believes that because of Romney’s anti-porn rhetoric, Obama is the clear choice for fans of pornography. Professional cam star Soverign Syre also feels it’s damn near impossible to enforce the laws but likened the GOP’s stance to Hitler’s book Mein Kampf. Ouch.
