What does the new porn study say about Republicans?
According to a new study which is summerized here http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_11821265, Utah is the largest consumer of internet porn of any state. The top three states for consuming internet porn all voted for McCain. 7 out of the top 10 voted for McCain. In fact, it appears that Republicans consume 16.5 times as much porn as Democrats.
Is this your idea of family values?

Family values have little to do with porn in my opinion.
I will say republican women are much better in bed, so porn is probably doing some good. Maybe it would help some of the cold stiff libs.
I wonder how good this research is. I'm a very left-leaning Democrat, think the GOP is wrong on most major issues -- but does this have anything to do with whether Republicans like porn or not? Is there any way to prove that the people who vote Republican the mostly reliably in State "X" are the biggest porn users? Or could there be a sizeable minority of liberal Democrats in some of these conservative states, who are big porn viewers themselves? In other words, I think this may be a fake issue. I really disagree with what most Republicans believe about the economy, civil rights of minorities, etc. etc. But I don't think their taste in porn is any of my business.
Haha this question is hilarious. I didn't think Libs had any problem with porn, unless a bf or something becomes addicted to it and it strikes a nerve. I don't really think porn is really an issue of red state compared to blue state. Unless people in red states aren't getting laid as much and need to turn to porn. Do red state women put out less than blue state women? I haven't had any issues no matter what state I've been in, but I do notice in bigger cities it seems like the chase ends much quicker, either no interest or a trip to the bedroom in no time flat.
Correlation is not causation, knowing that many individuals in those states watch porn, and knowing that those states are red states doesn't mean it's all Republicans watching porn. Utah, Arizona and other states that voted for McCain are not 100% Republican, in most states the balance is close to 50-50, and the difference is never more than 10%.
