Will the "Moral Values" GOP Refund the Money?
The Republican Party likes to call itself the party of "moral values." So the question is, will it return the tens of thousands of dollars it has pocketed from companies that air pornography?
As reported by the LA Times today, "Adelphia Communications Corp. has quietly become the nation's only leading cable operator to offer the most explicit category of hard-core porn."
According to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Adelphia gives the overwhelming amount of its financial support to Republicans, the party of "moral values." The company has given more than $100,000 to the GOP in soft money contributions, and thousands more in PAC contributions, and contributions from the company's executives. This money has gone to people like President Bush and Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), one of the most outspoken moralizers in the Senate.
