It says this forum is moderated but I haven't been around enough to find out if it really is. My last post got invaded by someone advertising a sex site and another person with a racist username, it would be nice if this thread could be something we can link to in the future.

The next tactic is flooding. They ban the riff raff that try that, so you're okay here

Wayne, I think you and I can agree on one thing Elan was an abusive hell hole. In all sincerity I will keep all non relevant posts out of this thread. I know you will do the same for your friend Pixie.
Mitt Romney is going to win the Republican nomination. Our work is now to see that this mutha doesn't come anywhere near the Whitehouse.
I have been working on this objective since he stated he was running. I am just so sorry more people just could not get behind Ron Paul.

Local Porn Exec Fills Mitt Romney's Coffers

Most (male) Mitt Romney supporters have probably stumbled across an ad for AdultFriendFinder.com (NSFW) at one point or another, though they might not admit it. But now there's another connection, between Friend Finder Networks and the likely Republican contender.

Chairman of the Board Daniel Staton has reportedly donated $2,500 to Romney's campaign, and the news is inspiring sarcastic commentary across the blogosphere.

Calling the owners of Friend Finder Networks "pornographers" is a bit of a stretch, though -- as the Herald points out, they're venture capitalists. Staton previously ran Build-a-Bear Workshop.

In addition, AdultFriendFinder has a sister site, BigChurch.com, that features "a searchable Bible, daily Bible chapter emails, chat rooms, and much more."

The company's president and CEO, Marc Bell, is a chairman of the board of trustees at Pine Crest School, which we noted in a July feature story about the school's tumultuous administration.

Bell has previously donated to Charlie Crist and to Romney's 2008 campaign. It's logical for business execs to favor the Republican's laissez-faire attitudes toward business, but the party-line preaching about moral rectitude can backfire when sex-industry types support GOP candidates. Here's a Herald blog about Rick Scott taking flak for campaign-finance ties to Playboy Mexico.

Our opinion? No worries. Let he who has never profited from sex and pornography cast the first stone.

Goddess of Justice:
If he's elected, he might put more money into the industry making them more powerful without government interference. I think if he wants to help, he should have the government provide services for troubled teens from their school districts in a very unrestricted environment like at home. Obama has stated on ending torture and has been called on in an investigation on the Judge Rotenburg Center in Mass.
For me, if I were running for president I would promise to have all schools provide services for troubled teens within their school district in environments that make them comfortable and unrestrictive, including therapeutic homeschooling. While requiring them to ONLY use therapy that has been proven by psychologist and scientist because most of these programs use therapy that's pseudoscience from 60 or 50 years ago.
