RENO, Nev. – 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.
Paul spokesman Jeff Greenspan said Paul is a diehard supporter
of states rights and an ardent libertarian who wants to return the
purview of the federal government to what is articulated in the U.S.
Constitution. Paul also is a devout Christian who opposes abortion.
“On a personal basis, he doesn't condone those things,”
Greenspan said of prostitution. “At the same time, from his campaign
perspective, it's not the role of federal government and it's not in
the constitution for federal government to regulate these things.
“The Nevada votrs and Legislature have decided it is legal activity in this state,” he added.
In 1971, the Mustang Ranch near Reno became the state's first
legal brothel and led to a movement that legalized prostitution in 12
of Nevada's 17 counties.
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.
“Dennis Hof is a good friend of mine, so when we got to Nevada,
I decided to call him up and see if he wanted to come check this guy
out,” said Carlson, who hosts the show “Tucker” on MSNBC.
