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."

Well, alcohol was very much mainstream before it was made illegal. Marijuana was made illegal by certain states more than a hundred years ago and was illegal in most states by 1930. It never developed into a mainstream activity, thus those who smoke it are commonly those who function outside of societal norms. Many of such individuals could be viewed as loonies such as the flower children of the 60s.

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.

Marijuana was made illegal by certain states more than a hundred years ago and was illegal in most states by 1930.

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.

Better pic, and I'm right, the do have a sale. Wonder if that's a political contribution, and who is contributing what to who.

While most endorsements only benefit the candidate, Hof tells me this one comes with a special deal. During the month of January, he said, the ranch is offering two bunnies for the price of one. All you have to do is come in and say: “I”m pimping for Paul.”
