Hardcore Anti-Tax Advocates

I thought this was pretty funny:

A proposal to impose a special tax on sexually oriented businesses is creating a dilemma for some legislators.

They're socially conservative and would like to combat pornography and discourage the opening of new shops that sell X-rated videos and magazines and other products, such as sex toys.

But some also have signed a pledge not to raise taxes.

That has a few talking about tying the proposed porn tax to proposals to cut taxes elsewhere.
If I was running against any of these folks, I wouldn't hesitate to run attack ads pointing out that my opponent obviously advocates pornography given that he or she refuses to support legislation that would tax it. And when my opponent called me sleazy for running such attack ads, my simple response would be: "I'm sleazy? Hell, you're the one who supports pornography."
