CARSON CITY, Nev., Jan. 4 (UPI) -- This endorsement might leave some wondering: Prostitutes at a brothel near Carson City, Nev., endorsed Rep. Ron Paul's bid for president.
Brothel owner Dennis Hof said he polled "all the girls" at the Bunny Ranch and the majority backed Paul, the U.S. representative from Texas who placed third in Tuesday's Iowa caucuses, The Daily Caller Web site reported.
"We thought real closely about supporting [Newt] Gingrich -- because he's a cheater -- and we like cheaters," said Hof, who gained celebrity status thanks to HBO's "Cathouse" documentary and series featuring his business. Nevada allows counties to license brothels.
A lot of the women supported Barack Obama in 2008, but then he signed a bill allowing for human consumption of wild horses and "the girls don't want any part of Obama," Hof said.
Hof said the ranch "decided to go with the guy that's more about state's rights -- and that's Ron Paul."
During January, he said he was offering a special -- two bunnies for the price of one, the Web site said. All a client has to do is come by and say "I'm pimping for Paul."

Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise. Spelunking is not a mainstream activity, but I know of no reason to think spelunkers commonly function outside of societal norms.
But hemp was still being grown as a commodity crop, so the federal government didn't make anything illegal that wasn't already illegal, they just put the hemp farmers out of business.
They look like vegetarians. Wonder what makes them think Paul opposes horse eating. At the very least that's a state issue. My guess Paul figures you can eat whatever you want.
In 08, didn't they have a 2 for 1 sale or something for paulistinians? Wish I'd saved all the thread links.
