If it seems odd for a porn star who supports the rights of exotic dancers and prostitutes to run as a Republican, Damayo insists that she supports the party, citing its history going back to Abraham Lincoln and the freeing of the slaves, as well as the Republican regard for individual rights. "I've been embraced greatly by the Clark County Republican Party," she says. "She is a legally viable candidate," says Clark County Republican Party chairman John Hambrick. "I think she's a very shrewd and competent businesswoman." Before her candidacy, Damayo volunteered heavily in the 2004 campaign; she's also treasurer of the local Asian Republican Party. "I'm not the typical ideological Republican," she adds.

those couple lines make her one of the best candidates i've seen in a while.
If she's truly given up the lifestyle and had a change of heart.. That would be one thing... After all lord knows I've been no saint in my lifetime... so I would certainly consider a relationship with someone with a past.
While she's "retired" its clear she's not changed her overall attitudes... based on her actions in the campaign.
I love an attractive and intelligent woman as much as any man... but I also am a firm believer in the following words of wisdom as well:
As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
If she truly is as intelligent and serious as she claims, she would not be flashing her bra at campaign rallies. Yes, skin sells... but if she's really that astute she wouldn't need to resort to it.
I'd take a porn star for govenor over any democrat. Porn stars, to the best of my knowledge, are not traitors.
MIMI’S VIEW OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND THE THREAT OF TERRORISM Prior to 911, we were living in “la-la-land”. There is no doubt about it. Homeland security has no room for beauracracy. Imagine agencies that either could not or did not share information necessary to protect us. Are you kidding me? Think about our airline security prior to 911. It was absolutely unacceptable. I remember a friend of mine, who is a retired cop, telling me about his flight out of BWI the day before 911. He was trying to get some coins out of his pocket and the lady at the security post was yelling at him to “hurry up”… She felt he was holding up the line. He was rushed through like cattle. This was ridiculous, yet our national security experts knew what the terrorists wanted to do to this country. We might not have known exactly when and how, but they certainly knew the intent of the extremists and that should have been enough to enhance security well before 911. With Homeland Security, we need to hire the BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB, PERIOD! No favoritism, nepotism, or “connections” necessary! I don’t care if the person in charge of homeland security has a “name” or some type of fame or recognition. This isn’t a popularity contest for this type of position. It’s for the best of the best in emergency management, national security, planning and response! Every home should be required to shelter in place or evacuate, but it’s not the case. Every car should have a basic survival kit. Every school, and college campus too, must be better prepared. There’s only a few choices we have in a major catastrophe…We’re either ordered to shelter in place and survive for 3 to 5 days or evacuate to another place. How many of us are really prepared to do either / or??? Those with low incomes need to be financially assisted so they can afford what others can afford. Just like our criminal justice system, money matters and it should not. I’ll be damned if a Hollywood star can somehow find themselves with supplies of medicines to protect themselves from anthrax or the bird flue, but my child cannot because we’re not rich or famous, or somehow “connected”.
War
MIMI’S VIEW ON WAR IN IRAQ I supported the war in Iraq under Bush’s Presidency, however, with the understanding that we would not “go it alone”. The coalition that was formed appears superficial. Financial support in a war is important, but troop and real military commitment is the ultimate coalition and Bush NEVER had that. Imagine if all countries committed to this war? It would have been over a long time ago. You can’t form a working democracy without security. And if the military powers in the world worked together to form a “secure” Iraq, the “silent majority”, which I believe is not much different from the silent majority in the U.S. (I’m speaking of the “middle class” of any country) would not be afraid to speak out in support of our efforts. Right now, without true safety and security, the middle class stays silent in fear of execution. Hey, in our own country, kids don’t learn in many of our own schools because they are “out of control”. There’s no order, little security and little discipline. If an American teacher in the American school system can’t inspire a teenager to learn because he or she can’t control the behavior in the class, then how the hell can a democracy be formed in a country that has never known it! Without impressive and effective law, order, and security for the people that have the potential for possessing moderate views of the world, success will be significantly delayed…The more security, the faster success will come. This is why all free nations should put their differences aside and join the effort so that the Iraqi people that seek freedom can be seen and heard!
Actually, those are all very cool.
I was laughing @ the porn stuff.
Wax on,...
I sometimes use the word "dame" in order to communicate disdain in a way that doesn't violate FR's rules of decorum.
Seems to have confused the meaning of fondled and embraced.
"I'd take a porn star for Governor over any democrat. Porn stars, to the best of my knowledge, are not traitors."
A porn star, or former porn star who loves America is preferable to a Democrat who sides with our enemies. I would take her as she is over any number of Democrats, like Kennedy, Murtha, Pelosi, Boxer, or Cynthia McKinney to name a few.
