Mitt Romney Used to Make a Living From Porn
The title of this post might seem a little misleading, but it's not really. He literally made money from porn. You can read about it here. For the record, I don't care at all. But as usual with Republicans, it's the hypocrisy that drives people crazy. Romney calls pornography a "cesspool" then turns around and takes it to the bank.

46. Are you guys as stupid as you look? He had nothing to do with porn from what you said, and neither does Marriott. Basically you make money from porn because it is shown on the internet and that is what you use to make these blogs and lies. Keep tring to make a republican look like their hypocritical counterparts-The Democrates!

47. Hey, conservative Holier-than-Thou nut jobs !!...Well, that's pretty much all of the conservatives, actually....Romney was on the board of directors !!!...He's a Mormon, more religious than Christ himself !! He knew about the porn, he refused to do anything about it and he kept the money...Sounds like he's perfect for the job of VICE President !! Hey Dick, we found your successor...It's so great that Cheney's first name is Dick, isn't it ??

49. Boy it would seem to me that these conservatives posting their anger here;the sure love to dish it out!!! Let's say the story was about Clinton, or Gore or Edwards, well you get the gest. But when the shoe is on the other foot......
All this liberal hate.. This from the party that invented the sentiment!!!

50. I'm watching this "Idiot" talk, and even he looks uncomfortable talking about this. What's wrong, even you know you've dug a hole that stinks?? You are as dumb as a box of hair, happy cancelation of your lame party.

51. 1. The title is misleading, but hey, it's the media so what else would we expect! Certainly not the whole truth!
2. He was on the board of the Marriott chain, just like Hillary was on the board of the all evil Wal Mart. He is being accused of 'not doing enough to stop' adult movies offered to Marriott guests. The accusations are from conservative Republicans.
3. Who was watching these movies? My guess would be more liberals than conservatives.
4. If the media would tell the truth about everything, including Iraq, the American people would be much better off. All's the liberal medai wants to do is make President Bush and any of his party look bad.

52. If he had made more of an impact you would cry "censorship"; when he doesn't you cry "Profiteer!"
your title was misleading and you know it - but you got people to read your shmuck. Mission accomplished.

54. The mormon church is perverted and satanic!

55. This revelation about Romney changes my opinion of the man entirely...I'm not talking about the hypocrisy, I'm talking about his real name being "Willard"...OMG!, gives me the creeps!

56. The article said the porn movies were part of the tv/pay per view package. This package is sold to many hotels. If they didn't offer tv they wouldn't be in business. I've stayed at Marriots before and I never even noticed they offered it. So it wasn't heavily advertised or pushed on anybody. I think this article is really pushing it. What is Romney too squeaky clean that now you have to grab for straws?

57. Isn't it time the citizens of our great nation (U.S.A.) get back to the business of restoring our country's power and pride, rather than worrying about Mitt profiting from porn (indirectly, mind you), Bill getting hummers, John throwing away his military medals, George going AWOL during his half-assed military stint, etc? Americans have become so distracted with meaningless bunk, rather than concentrating on what matters: a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving; the largest deficit in our nation's history; losing manufacturing jobs to countries with no child-labor protection and more human-rights violations than one can count; our once-great companies/employers packing-up and running to countries who have universal healthcare so that they aren't expected to provide for their employees; skyrocketing fuel/energy costs; schools in a downward spiral; borders like sieves; a middle class that gets smaller every day... Need I go on? And, not one person in power has a coherent policy for any of this. Come on, America... let's get our minds past these intelectually lazy "issues" and return to our roots of hard work, common sense, integrity, generosity, and optimism.

58. Bishop O'Brien--I concur. Finally an intelligent response. But it is rather funny that another Republican leader has his hypocrisy illuminated toaday. A married family values senetor at a Brothel?????you don't say. I can hear them now.. (insert annoying southern accent)"Marriage should be between a man and a woman and another woman I rent by the hour in a seedy Georgetown motel when I am on one of my namy well-paid vacations..."

59. PS. apparently none of you have ever taken journalism 101. The headline is the key to suck in readers...and it worked. You read it.

60. Steve is that a scientific opinion? Liberals watch more porn than conservatives? Or is just your kind that suppress their true desires and end up caught with prostitutes, in phone sex harrassing phone calls with their producers and homosexual sex acts in a car???? Why are liberals demonized? Because we want government responsibility? We want education and healthcare? We want innocent people to have their lives spared in a war that has no end and has caused a greated civil war? We want politicians to be accountable for their lies? Weapons of Mass Destruction, Iraq and 911 the list goes on and on and on? Please tell with what basic human right you disagree with? I have yet to meet a really rich republican too, which is hilarious. the rich republicans are so few--and they don't give a rat's patoot about you,or your childre or their children. Please open your eyes America. It's not about religion, or pro-life/pro-choice. It is about issues thatface the everyday lives of most Americans!!!! Educate yourselves and then re-evaluate you political affiliates.
