Porn Star Republican

Here is a story you can sink your teeth into. Maybe I should rephrase that. From the Huffington Post:

While most of the reaction to an RNC-funded outing at a Los Angeles bondage-themed nightclub in February has been critical, it has won the GOP at least one supporter -- a porn star.

Stormy Daniels, an adult movie actor and potential candidate for U.S. Senate in Louisiana, has apparently decided -- perhaps satirically -- to renounce the Democratic Party and become a Republican.

I like to think of myself as a big tent Republican. If there's room for the Log Cabin Republicans, and there damn sure is, why not Louisiana Senator Stormy Daniels? You couldn't say anymore that Republicans are boring!

Liberals like the idea of making America more like Europe. Well, a Daniels for Senate campaign would do that. It's already happened in Italy. Cicciolina, a Hungarian-born porn star was elected to the Italian Parliament. Her campaign rallies consisted of a lot of men shouting "Bear it! Bear it!" She would then oblige her constituents by opening her shirt and revealing her platform.

You have to admit, Ms. Daniels is a lot more fun to look at than John Boehner or Mitch McConnell. I am guessing that's true regardless of your sexual preference. Of course, if Ms. Daniels were running as a Democrat the New York Times would be right behind her. More or less. We'd be hearing about how prejudice keeps such enterprising women out of politics. To run as a Republican, that's cutting edge.

Well, President Reagan did have this observation:
"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." - Ronald Reagan

Weren't the Italians yelling "Bare them", not "Bear it"? And I'll bet some of those were Italian women wanting to see what a boob job looks like.....

As a life-long Republican, I think we already have enough boobs in the party without adding more fakes like this.

I don't know, I think this is sort of nice. Usually, it's the other way around. A politician who is supposed to be "Mr. Clean," falls from grace in a sexual scandal. The idea of someone moving out of the sex industry and into politics is more heartening.

Liberty: Okay, bear them. I still say these boobs look better than most Republicans.

Miranda: is moving from porn to politics moving up or down?

Another thing wrong with our politics and you see the Right is embrtacing this, this time. So, now you know why I don't jump on the band wagon taking sides. Both are guilty.

Too close to call? But for Ms. Daniels personally, I think it would be a step up. In the porn industry, she gets paid to let people exploit her. In politics, she would get paid to exploit everyone else.

Miranda is pretty much right on this one: She can now exploit everyone else...kinda what both Democrats and Republicans do already. lol

Seriously, I would vote for a small government fiscal conservative. I don't care if there are a gay porn star, IRS agent, or other person generally considered socially unacceptable because of their profession. If you are employed in legal work and have a history of small government advocacy I would vote for you unless your opponent has a better history of working for small government.

I am with you on the substance, Ross. This wasn't intended as a serious post. But if Bill Clinton taught us anything, it is that personal ethics can matter when it comes to public office.
