RNC Accepted Political Contributions From Gay Porn King?

Question

The Republican National Committee is a regular recipient of political contributions from Nicholas T. Boyias, the owner and CEO of Marina Pacific Distributors, one of the largest producers and distributors of gay porn in the United States.

www.FEC.gov lists Boyias as contributing to the RNC three times in 2004 and two times in 2005.

Whats the point? Last week, the RNC, headed by Ken Mehlman, ran an ad against Rep. Harold Ford (D) in Tennessee. One of the barbs in that ad was the claim that Ford had taken political contributions from "porn movie producers."

So,I guess Ken Mehlman was for porn producer money before he was against it.

What do you think?

note: Let me say, for the record, that I consider pornography not only a legal but a morally unobjectionable product. People in that industry have as much right to participate in the political process as anyone else. And it's difficult for the head of a political committee or a candidate in a political campaign to know the background of every contributor. But hypocrisy blows. And on this issue, as on others, Ken Mehlman's a hypocrite.

Answer 1

In politics hypocrisy has no limits! I wish we had a referendum regarding misleading the public with political ads, and duplicity.

In regards to smitty031 statement; I'm against outing people. However; the rules change when elected individuals choose to vote against their own culture, sexuality, religion, and or political party. It's equivalent to an elected Afro-American voting against Civil Rights in the 60's. It's just wrong and transparent!
