While the corporations generate millions in profits from providing adult content, their political contributions are often given to those elected, in no small part, because of their stance on "moral values."

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Comcast Cable has given millions in political donations since 1998. The national Republican Party committees are its biggest organizational recipient, with donations totaling $851,000. President Bush is its biggest individual recipient with $109,000 in donations.

Adelphia has given $166,000 to Republican committees, $17,000 to conservative Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., and $12,000 to Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., one of the most conservative members of the Senate.

"I always admired the fact that [previous Adelphia owner] John Rigas had the courage to stand up and say no to the adult porn industry, even when it may have cost him potential profits," Peterson told ABC News. "I am disappointed that the new leadership didn't have the courage to continue the policy of putting our young people ahead of their bottom line."

Santorum would not comment on Adelphia's decision.

"Maybe the Republicans will be a little more forthcoming about it now," said Connelly. "They certainly don't have any problem taking the money from it."

Is anyone surprised?

Any party that uses Karl Rove as a guiding light is just paying lip service to morals.

Not in the least surprised.

I'm making a public statement right here and right now, the Commodore will accept any donations (cash, check, or money order only, darlings) from the porn industry. I've always had a policy of putting our young people's bottoms ahead. Toot!

Maybe.....but if Republicans are only paying lip service to morals, why do so many liberals get uber panicky anytime these same Republicans start talking about morals(if it's just lip service, wouldn't they just yawn?)?
