Family Values? CNN: Porn star candidate to attend GOP dinner
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/06/09/gop.pornstar.ap/index.html

This is great.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The annual President's Dinner, a Republican Party fundraising event featuring President Bush, could get an extra dash of spice this year with porn actress and former California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey planning to attend.

1. That's genius
"We aren't going to show up with coke spoons around our necks."

Carey actually had a decent idea on getting rid of California's debt. She was going to charge people to have a live Webcam 24/7 in the Governor's mansion. I'm sure the budget would be erased like THAT.

2. "The porn industry and Republicans may seem like strange bedfellows..."
HA! Strange but not too strange.

4. Especially
when you break it down and think about it. They're both Whores. Glorify it all you want, they have no solid values and are COMPLETELY for sale.

6. 50% of Promise Keepers and 40% of pastors....
Edited on Thu Jun-09-05 06:04 PM by Danieljay
had viewed pornography or struggle with porn. Doesn't sound like they are strangers to me...

“It’s not an epidemic—it’s a pandemic,”

http://slate.msn.com/id/3811

I hear the phrase "licentious and perverted sexual practices" and look up, half expecting to see one of those grainy sex-ed training films from the '50s that MTV sometimes runs, alongside clips from Reefer Madness, as evidence of how far the culture has progressed in the past 40 years. But the man on the screen looks disconcertingly modern, as do the half-million or so Promise Keepers he's addressing. I'm only about 100 feet from the event, watching it live on television, but from where I'm sitting, inside the press tent, it seems like another country. "Many of you are addicted to pornography," the preacher is saying. Wow, I think, there's something you don't hear every day. I look around the tent to see if anybody else is watching.

"Sadly, the societal slide toward Sodom and Gomorrah is leaving its imprint on the church. “Research reveals that 40 percent of pastors are wrestling with pornography,” Dr. Kirk says. More than half the men who attend Promise Keepers events viewed pornography in the week leading up to the event, according to surveys from the organization cited by Dr. Kirk. “I believe it’s probably 50 to 60 percent of men struggling with pornography in every church.”

9. Wrestling with porn? What's the problem?
You put the DVD in label side up. In the case of tape, you put it in the VCR label side out.

Honestly, it works just like any other video you want to watch. :)

8. Not really
Conservative Repukes may talk that family values bullshit but when the lights go out they are the freakiest damn people out there.

Just look at that guy that was running against Barack Obama in Illinois, and dragged poor Seven of Nine to freaky sex clubs against her will. And all the homophobe family values Repukes who are in the closet and cruise for anonymous sex on the internets.

I'm all for freakiness (i'm an enthusiastic practicioner), but the hypocrisy kills me.

3. Don't blame me I voted for Carey not Arnold
Just kidding, she actually is very bright, a member of MENSA I believe.

She has a quick wit, and is a publicity hound.
this might be very interesting
