Even with the lead Bush has – the race is still tight. They pushed a ruling on the 2257 issue “at least 90 days back” from what I heard. That being said, it will be till after the election before any action is taken. Everything in the country is about politics right now. Here are some examples:

Bush let Clinton’s assault weapons ban expire to appease the NRA, even though it was a bad idea.

Cheney waffled some on the party hard-line on gay marriage in the debates to win some gay support.

By these same token, Bush will not prosecute the adult industry till AFTER he wins the next election. Could you imaging the fallout, not only from the adult community but also the public in general for sending people to prison of paperwork violations? It would have him look like the rightwing nut-job! Which he is! He will also lose him some of the support he seems to enjoy from some people in this industry for some mysterious reason.

However, after the next election, Bush will be a lame duck, so he will have four years to push his conservative agenda down our throats. He can’t get elected again, so who cares? Give Bush 4 more years and he will be ten times as dangerous as he is now and there will be a lot of people in this industry bound for Club Fed.

Vote Kerry and take out the trash before the trash takes us out!
Well said Jay and thanks for the sanity check.

No, the sky isn't falling, but you're a fool if you don't have your umbrella in place. IF Bush wins re-election (and I'm hopeful that's a very big IF at this point) you can bet on some petty prosecutions, because neither Bush nor his cronies would have much to lose at that point. They'd be free to enforce their bizarre agenda without immediate political repurcussions. And if you think they wouldn't, you're clueless.

For that matter, even if Bush doesn't win, he has a couple of months left in which to wreak havoc. Get your duckies in a row. Don't freak out; just make sure you're compliant. That's always been good advice.
