Would you ever vote for a strip club owner for higher office?

Owners of strip clubs make used car salesmen and lawyers look good.  Still, I'd be willing to get past it and vote for him/her, but he/she'd have to be really good to over come this one.  All else being equal I'd rather vote for a pot dealing cop.

Obviously

You can personally not care for strip clubs and still not demonize the people who own/work at them.

I've got nothing against any individual worker/owner of a strip club.  As a group though, they each tend to have some very basic traits that are pretty common.  And I empathize with the workers, I certainly don't mean to demonize them.  Having "daddy issues", drug problems, a funked up view of sex and a severely short career window isn't something I'd wish on any normal person.  (and no, I'm not saying 100% of them are like this, obviously not.  But like I said in the other thread, "stereotyping is fun!".)

The owners on the other hand....


And I don't want to shut them down and would vote against laws keeping them away from certain places.  Full nude, serving beer and hard drink, sex acts, I don't care.  I'm also very much for legalized prostitution.  It's not a double standard to want something legal but still disagree with it.  I don't want to make everything I don't like illegal...that's what Democrats and Republicans do.  I'm better than that.

Well you might not notice the "daddy issues" as I would assume it's something only future boyfriend/husbands will have issue with.  And again, like everybody else, they are not all created equal.

What's wrong with them?

Like most jobs outside the mainstream, it attracts a certain kind of person.  Soft guys don't tend to be pro athletes.  Shy people don't tend to become actors.  Men with a lot of respect for women don't tend to own strip clubs.  Intelligent go-getters don't tend to be night managers at Pizza Hut.  People with an inherent distrust for the govt don't tend to join the military.

A woman owns my favorite strip club.

Cool, I'm sure she treats her girls much better than average.  Good for her employees and good for her.

Yes - this is far less controversial than the prostitute. Prostitution can potentially spread STDs, while there is no direct health risk from a strip club.

Unless you eat at the buffet.  Or go to the "champagne room".  Or have an open wound.  Or breath in too deeply.

Yes I do...yes I do.  Some great lines in there.

If a woman tells you she's 20 and looks 16.. she's 12

If she tells you she's 26, and LOOKS 26.. she's damn near 40
