Last month, three of the four current Republican presidential contenders responded to a survey from the group Morality in Media’s War on Illegal Pornography campaign. They all agreed to get aggressive with violators of federal obscenity laws if elected president. Mitt Romney specifically said he would be for “strict enforcement of our nation’s obscenity laws, as well as the promotion of parental software controls that guard our children from Internet pornography.”

But campaign filings show that, last September, Romney accepted the maximum campaign contribution of $2,500 from Daniel Staton, the chairman of Friend Finder Networks Inc. that owns —among several other properties — Penthouse, BDSM sites like Bondage.com and BDSM.com, and LikeMyNudePhoto.com. Romney also accepted $2,000 from Staton and an additional $2,300 from Friend Finder Network CEO Marc Bell during his failed 2008 presidential campaign.

What a greedy dumb ass. That's pocket change to Romney, yet he's too greedy to return it, thereby exposing his own hypocrisy.

5. You have to have it both ways

If porn wasn't strictly controlled and filtered and blocked, then it wouldn't be as exciting. And if it was everywhere, people wouldn't need to pay money for it. And then there wouldn't be a big pile of money to donate to a politician to control it.
