GOP Presidential Candidate Ron Paul Receives Endorsement From Nevada Brothel Owner

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner.

Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch near Carson City, said he was so impressed after hearing Paul at a campaign stop in Reno last week that he decided to raise money for him.

"I'll get all the (working girls) together, and we can raise him some money," Hof told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "I'll put up a collection box outside the door. They can drop in $1, $5 contributions."

Hof and two of his prostitutes, Brooke Taylor and a woman who goes by Air Force Amy, attended a Paul news conference.

The women said they liked Paul's message, but wanted to learn more about other candidates before making a decision.

Hof was accompanied to the Paul news conference by television news personality Tucker Carlson, who is traveling with Paul for a magazine article he is writing.

1. Paul has also been endorsed by a local head shop owner
here in Dayton, Ohio. I think that "Libertarian streak" in Paul is a little wider than most people know. I don't even think of him as a Republican.

2. What's funny is I hardly see Ron Paul as pro-pot or pro-brothel
I can't see Ron Paul supporting these industries

3. What makes him think that "all the (working girls)" ...
... are going to give money to that doofus? If RP is a libertarian, and he is, he should just accept that the free market has spoken and that his campaign is only as valid as his limited fund-raising.
