    Yes, AIDS is rampant in Africa. Sin is rampant. Pagan religions teach promiscuity, and one form teaches that AIDS is healed by sex with a virgin girl. So young girls are raped and infected, and the problem grows.

    Now back on topic...
    what would people say if a brothel owner endorsed Huckabee? Would the Paul people be as supportive? Or endorsed Clinton?

    Let's be consistent. And let's also get real. What's the big deal? We all know Paul has some shady supporters. So do Rudy, Hillary and their ilk. Politicians like Rudy, Paul, and Hillary are going to attract some good apples and bad seeds. So why the surprise?

    I would hope he would denounce their endorsement.

    I saw a Log Cabin guy on ABC the other night and he was endorsing Obama. Made no sense to me.

    I would say that must mean Huckabee is a supporter of civil liberties. And if that were the case, I'd probably be rooting for him to win. I'm more libertarian than I am a Paul supporter.

    It's old publicity. Tucker Carlson style.

    The Media Arranged for Brothel Owner to "Endorse" Ron Paul
    JBS - A recent Associated Press story about Ron Paul carries a headline that was carefully crafted to turn off many American voters. The headline proclaimed: "Paul Endorsed by Nevada Brothel Owner."

    The AP story began: "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.

    "Picked up," however, is the wrong phrase, since it implies, incorrectly, that Ron Paul had solicited Hof’s endorsement. In actuality, it was a member of the media, MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson, who had done the soliciting. Carlson not only contacted Hof to ask him to check out Ron Paul while Paul was in Nevada, but he even arrived at Ron Paul’s Reno news conference in the company of Hof and two of Hof’s prostitutes. Hof’s presence, which surprised the Ron Paul campaign, then gave Hof the opportunity to be interviewed by the media.

    Tucker Carlson's involvement is acknowledged by AP, though not until the end of the story. The AP story notes that "Hof was accompanied to the Paul news conference by television news personality Tucker Carlson." It then finally quotes Carlson as admitting that "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 [Ron Paul] out." The AP article, though, fails to point out that the Ron Paul campaign was surprised when Carlson emerged from a limousine with Hof and two of Hof’s celebrity prostitutes to attend the news conference. (That part of the story was covered by the Reno Gazette-Journal.)

    Full Story...

    Interesting stuff. Kinda.

    As far as the person's occupation is concerned it would not be an issue with me.
