Re: Bush, his constituents, and the adult industry
I don't think the Bush Administration represents any threats to the legitimate adult industry. The kiddie porn industry should be quaking in its boots, and rightfully so. As far as I'm considered, throw them under the jail. Passing new federal legislation aimed at exotic dancers? I just don't see it happening. There are far too many more important issues than whether or not Tigerlilly is shaking her adorable rear in joe paycheck's face for a little harmless entertainment. Or if Tera Patrick is showing here skills on DVD. Just my $.02

The Fundys just use adult entertainment as a tool-it inspires fear in some people(voters) and therefor that fear makes them easier to manipulate.
Thats all there is to it really.
Perfect, couldn't of made it more clear or comprehensive.;) Also "Any" administration will/would use these same tactics.

Re: enforcing laws already on the books.
Sounds good except alot of laws are either
a) outdated or just plain dumb like the law in Romboch, Virginia, where it is illegal to engage in sexual activity with the lights on.
or
b) created and enacted as part of a political campaign - such as the 6 foot law in Tampa created by Bob Buckhorn as a precursor to his ( failed) run for the Mayors office
Re: Bush, his constituents, and the adult industry
"Bob Peters, president of the organization Morality in Media (MIM), has undertaken the task of researching the presidential candidates to determine where each stands on the issue of indecency. He says he was inspired in part by an ad, from which he learned that "the so-called adult entertainment industry is supporting the Kerry campaign, and trying to get their customers to go out and vote for Kerry."
Intrigued by this information, Peters searched John Kerry's website for a position paper or statement relating to decency standards. He notes, "There weren't any documents with the word obscenity in them. One document included the word pornography, but it happened to be a document that was blasting President Bush because he had appointed a judge to the federal courts who was against pornography."
On the other hand, President George W. Bush's campaign has been fairly vocal on the issue, Peters points out. On Bush's website, he says he found several papers that detail a strong anti-pornography platform. And although he admits Bush's record on obscenity law enforcement has been mixed, the head of MIM notes that the past two years have seen numerous prosecutions throughout the U.S. against commercial distributors of hard-core porn, and many sources report that several more obscenity investigations are under way...
In his commentary, Peters said he wonders whether Kerry, if elected would "continue the progress (however slow) that has been made in the war against obscenity" or would instead "fulfill the expectations of the pornography industry that seems convinced that he, like Bill Clinton, will be soft on obscenity?"
It appears Kerry has chosen not to take a strong stance against the porn industry or obscenity in the media and entertainment, and MIM's president suspects Kerry's move to distance himself from the issue may in some ways be paying off for the Democratic candidate."
