Strip club owners mobilize for Kerry

Registering voters to get rid of 'ultra-conservative' Bush

Fearing conservatives could shut down their businesses, strip club owners are asking patrons to take a moment to fill out a voter registration and then cast their presidential ballot for Sen. John Kerry.

''It's not to say our industry loves John Kerry or anything like that,'' trade publisher Dave Manack told the Associated Press. ''But George Bush, if he's re-elected, it could be very damaging to our industry.''

Manack, associate publisher of E.D. Publications, which publishes Exotic Dancer magazine, says adult night clubs take in an estimated $15 billion annually and employ 500,000 to 750,000 people.

A trade organization for adult nightclubs, the Association of Club Executives, is leading the charge.

''We must do everything within our power to help ensure that Bush and his ultra-conservative administration are removed from the White House,'' wrote the group's president, Michael Ocello, in a letter to nearly 4,000 club owners. ''If we are to survive, we must act now.''

Heather Layman, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, told the AP she is unsure why the president would be perceived as unfriendly to the industry, but acknowledged "the strip club owners are not a group we targeted."

The news wire said more than 200 people have registered in two night spots in southern Wisconsin, the first of 80 in the state to provide voter registration services.

In Ohio, the AP reported, members of Ocello's group have registered about 2,000 people in just a few weeks, according to chapter president Luke Liakos, who calls Attorney General John Ashcroft "the American Taliban."

Oooof!

Bush is "ultra-conservative"? Heck I didn't even know he'd turned into a conservative at all!

DNC has a long history of such ....Sally Rand at the 1964 Convention was just one such example of the Rat's support for those willing to get nekid for a buck. Bubbafuccos jobs for women plans were just as sincere.

I honestly think a big manufactured-fabricated incident is on the horizon for Rats'n Rino's Inc to dump this POS that all the losers are getting Kerried away with. The Rat canidate GW will face in November is NOT John F'n Kerry IMO.

Course it's just a SWAG on my part........Stay Safe !

"...calls Attorney General John Ashcroft "the American Taliban."

Ahh, the class exuded by the left, has no bounds.

In an obvious effort to get the sleaze vote, similar to the efforts of Larry Flynt in the 2000 elections, the effort to elect Lord effin of ketchup - another would-be President who would turn the other way when it comes to corruption, immorality, and all-things-gutter-wise, the dealers of human flesh are on the attack. It seems that most things that are left, have to do with sleazeballs. They preach "feeling you pain" when mostly all they really want to feel is the Monica's of the world, and your wallet.

The only reason they won't have strippers at the dem convention is that it's on TV...and they're probably too cheap. The cab drivers at the last RAT convention claimed they were the worst tippers ever.

Republicans/Conservatives...stay out of strip clubs until after the elections...they might get you drunk, and you'd wind up a registered demoncRAT. Yuck.

I tell ya, flip-flop and thong are synonymous for footwear, but thrown the "thong" spin and get some with sKerry at his worst should just about do it.

The falling off the bike picture on the front of a thong would be too priceless, right up there with him cussing the SS on the ski slopes or any other long-faced humor.

Bland-Aids on a thong would be a hoot. I'd tie one to my car antennae. Might even let one flop in the breeze of my hatchback...strategically slammed in.

Actually the ultra-left is what the strip clubs should fear. It's not the republicans that are forcing business owners to go smoke-free, regulating the hell out of them, and taxing them to death.

Okay, someone has to say it. I think I'll go do some "opposition research." Does anyone want to help?

Troll alert!

This guy, boxsmith14, (signed up today) was kicked off when he was boxsmith13. Now he has just signed up with a new name -- and not a creative alteration at that.

Please make sure he gets the treatment he deserves :)

"Strip club owners mobilize for Kerry"

Girls cheerfully volunteer to form a naked pyramid, much to the delight of Senators Kennedy, Dodd, and Clinton.

Hmmm.. well I don't know where you live, but I'd say strip club patrons are by and large not raging liberals... I don't see this "drive" amounting to much.
