Video: Ron Paul on brothels

posted at 3:05 pm on November 27, 2007 by Allahpundit

Freedom, baby. If not for his foreign policy and his kowtowing to conspiracy cretins and his indifference to support from Nazis and, well, pretty much everything else besides this, he could have been my guy. He could have been … the beta-male candidate. Alas.

More video here; note the tidbit about the brothel’s clientele and partisan spending habits. Exit question: Was Joe “Work the Pole” Scarborough going for a pun with that Hummer reference or was Mika reading into it?

Ron Paul, you couldn’t write this script. We have got to keep him in, shows we Republican have a sense of humor.

I used to….once upon a time.

Paul says something about religious practice. Does the think the Moonbunny Ranch is some sort of cult? (the word “moon” throw him?) Or…is he pretending to think that in order to evade on-the-record tolerance of a brothel?

Either way, more fine work from Tucker Carlson.

What a novel idea. Brothels are churches.

I can tell my wife that I’m not going to a whorehouse, but to CHURCH! Yeah, that’s the ticket.

I’ve always wanted to be the piano player in a brothel. I’d have to learn to play the piano first, you realize. But now I can tell my more prissy relatives that my secret ambition is to play the organ….uh, never mind.

Along those same lines, there used to be a bar in my hometown named The Library.

I haven’t been to a good brothel for too long.

Mine too, and I once worked in one called The Office.

Would your home town be Lacrosse, WI?

georgej on November 27, 2007 at 3:47 PM

I thought the whole point of legalizing this sort of thing was to eliminate the need for fist pumping. Oh well, given RonPaul’s foreign policy, this would mean at least we’d be smiling when they saw our heads off.

kinda o/t question to paulbots:

if and when ron paul gets the nomination, who would be an acceptable running mate for him?

i feel as though if he chose any actual republicans (as opposed to big-L Libertarians in Republican clothing, like himself), there would be an uproar.

do you have a clone of ron paul in the basement ready to be a running mate?

Don’t tase me, brothel.

Afraid not. But Pablo’s might be. :D

and Sec. of State, Sec. of Defense….and the rest of the Cabinet.

it should be noted there are plenty of pro-defense Libertarians that can’t stand the guy.

Sorry.

He’ll likely have to pull someone out of his ass hat, ’cause I can’t see any of the current bunch of runners playing 2nd fiddle to him. Perhaps a mystery figure, like Perot’s retired admiral…

Frozen Tex on November 27, 2007 at 4:56 PM

You guys ever read Franklin’s Autobiography? (No, not Franklin Graham.) He didn’t seem to have too much of a problem with the whore house down the street in Philadelphia. Yeah, I know he was pretty much of a reprobate. Nonetheless, everyone knew it was there, nobody made a big deal about it — except — except busybodying reformers.

Is this the Republican Party we want? A bunch nannies who fret over prostitution? Go Ron Paul!

And as I said in a reply to Allah’s other attempt to feign moral outrage and political superiority with regard to those who see in Ron Paul a glimpse of throwing off the shackles of the feds, San Diego’s hotel porn and hookers had a banner week the year we hosted the Republicans.

Drum on November 27, 2007 at 8:01 PM

MILF’s for Ron Paul!

The big question, will he have Muslims in his cabinet, dresser drawer, or counter top?
