guestcam, the biggest difference at the end of the day is who is beholden to who. Republicans are beholden to and often run by the christian groups that are out there, from the extreme to the sublime. They are the reason we say "President W" as opposed to "president gore" or whatever. Over a 25 year period, these people have been in power for all but 8 of them, and have stacked the decks at all levels, with judges in many circuits, life long political hacks, and general hooks into all the corners of government.
The Meese Commission wasn't an accident.
To suggest that one party or the other would be "friendly" to porn is stupid, it isn't happening. But I know that Republicans are ACTIVELY trying to throttle and kill off legitimate and protected free speech. The democrats have taken stabs at things with COPA and COPAII, but in each case, they were trying to find ways to limit access to porn from children, not witch hunting our industry.
It is clear between 2257 rules, COPA challenges, and now fishing for porn search information that these people are actively looking for some little hole to drive a truck through and wipe us all off the face of the map.
fuckers.
W certainly is the smiley front man, and I think he often spends his time coming up with justifcations for what the wild and out of control members of his party and administration are trying to pull off.
