Dennis Hof, Nevada’s most famous pimp, wins GOP primary
By Michelle L. Price, Associated Press
Wednesday, June 13, 2018 | 2 a.m.
Pimp Dennis Hof, the owner of half a dozen legal brothels in Nevada and star of the HBO adult reality series "Cathouse," won a Republican primary for the state Legislature on Tuesday, ousting a three-term lawmaker.
Hof defeated hospital executive James Oscarson. He'll face Democrat Lesia Romanov in November and will be the favored candidate in the Republican-leaning Assembly district.
Hof celebrated his win at a party in Pahrump with Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss at his side.

Strange, typically it is prostitutes that make the transition to politics as they are already well versed in screwing the public.
Might be sign of future government use of private contractors...
-
I like this guy. He owns a business and works in the real world, something many GOP legislators know nothing about i.e.; Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

I do hope this encourages 'our' resident Pimp from Pennsylvania to seek higher office.

Well, why not? We DID cede the moral high ground in 2016. No way to predict where the bottom of the pit is.

"It's all because Donald Trump was the Christopher Columbus for me," Hof told The Associated Press in a phone call. "He found the way and I jumped on it."

btw, pimps are sex-trafficking abusers and criminals, (and should be in prison).
NOT running for office as Republicans....
Yikes.
-
Nevada was blue in the last election, it may be shifting and perhaps this Hof doesn't have a chance. If I were out there, I would really need to examine my conscience to vote for him.
-

Hof operates within the laws of the state of Nevada, so say what you will about prostitution as a business, but he does so legally, and he is therefore NOT a criminal.

Most prostitutes have been trafficked against their will, at least when they were younger.
Whether Nevada says it's a crime or not, it's hideously criminal behavior.....profiting from someone who has been enslaved.
But that's OK. Trump has paved the way for this reprobate, so all's well......
-
The GOP has become a different kind of creature out in Nevada. Though, it is a different issue out in Massachusetts, the GOP platform there has some notable differences from say some state like Missouri or most of the others.
Thank goodness for Trump paving the way for the GOP to keep traditional wholesome family values.

My guess is he probably knows more about collecting money from people who are getting screwed than most of DC, and that's saying something.

I've heard @musiclady disapproves of child pornographers, meth producers, assassins for hire, nazis, and at the risk of repeating myself, President Trump's Attorneys and apologists.

Here's the problem Jackson. Child pornographers, met producers and assassins for hire are breaking the law. Dennis Hof is providing a legal service. He is also successful at it. He knows how the real world works. He is who should be in our party legislating. On the other hand you love people like John Kasich who is so out of touch with the real world that he has to keep talking about a dead relative that had a govt' job to tell people he knows about the real world.

John Kasich had a relative with a gov't job??

Don't worry about what Frank says to mock me, @Once-Ler .
Since I finally put him on Ignore several months ago, I have noticed a refreshing improvement in, not only the conversations on this forum about morality, but also the intellect, maturity, humor, linguistic ability above his two word vocabulary, and a corresponding decrease in ennui.
If he wants to think that sex trafficking is gainful employment, more power to him.
(But I think he doesn't. He just thinks "poking" me is fun, rather than just being stupid. Fortunately, I almost never see him embarrass himself any more, and that's a good thing :beer:).

He did. It's a well kept secret, but rumor has it his dad was a letter carrier.

You have me on ignore to stay blissfully ignorant, but you comment on what I post. See a problem there?

This should be interesting.
On issues, if one were to take out his job title (or just replace it as small business owner) he is pretty far right on most issues, to the point he has supported Libertarian candidates and was a LP member in the past. He actually has a longer track record on those issues than certain other lauded politicians.
But will traditionalists like his job or that he is pro-pot, or former (if you take his word for it) 9/11 truther.
And is he trustworthy or is he a showman who is riding on the popular train of the time. He has been mimicking Trump on a lot of things, like Immigration, which he flipped since supporting Ron Paul a few years ago. He even copied Trump's book and wrote his own "The Art of the Pimp" almost matching the chapters up (albeit, I suspect Hof's version is more ethical).
But, he is in a very, very red area and the guy he is running against is scum and there aren't any other options from third parties so I suspect we may be seeing him in Nevada legislature pretty soon.

Frank has made himself a target rich environment. ^-^

Conservatism has always had a conflict between libertarians and social conservatives, at least since I've been alive. But not really this starkly before.
It's funny because there are a bunch of porn stars on Twitter who claim to be "conservatives" like Jenna Jameson. Interesting times I guess.

I saw a funny quote recently calling a lot of them 'Instagram Libertarians'. They are Libertarian in principle- they want government to butt out of almost everything. But they want to be Instagram famous and the LP doesn't have enough followers.

What's funny about it? They run legal money making enterprises i.e.; they work for a living. Those are solid people in my book. Just because a bunch of church ladies get the vapors over their legal profession doesn't mean squat with me. I think churches shouldn't be tax exempt because most of them are political action groups anymore. I'm sure they don't like that either.

You were active on FR in the early 2000's correct? Way different atmosphere in conservatism at that time.

My points of view are so strong and relevant that the sites ignore software can't fully delete my posts from threads.

Yeah and I also voluntarily voted for Bush and bought a new Northstar Cadillac DTS......things I would never think of doing today. Times change. You learn things. You adjust.

So yes.

@Frank Cannon thanx for the clarification on the "legal services" distiction
So would you prefer an abortion doctor, a serial killer defense lawyer, a telemarketer for the church of satan, or the guy who runs the internet cannibal forum to John Kasich because Kasich is out of touch?

Well an abortion doctor, cannibal and defense lawyer would be as Leftist as Kasich and at least the Church of Satan telemarketer would talk less about how Jesus made him support Obamacare, unlike Johnnie.

Abortion proponents don't fly with my line of thinking, we have enough lawyers in DC already, telemarketers are annoying little bleep, so I'm going with the internet forum operator, as long as he's more conservative than John Kasich which isn't really difficult to achieve.

Yes. The forum software still shows posts from those on ignore when they are quoted by another poster.

It also states the name of the quotee on the top. You are telling me that the poster is so vapid as not to realize the quoted post is from someone they are ignoring and can't ignore it on their own?

Hey there, @RoosGirl - just saw this question and thought I should answer it, since you're bright and clever and I like you. ^-^
I've had said poster on Ignore for months and this is the first I've "engaged" in what he's said (and the last). It's not something I do, generally speaking.
In this case, I was pinged to his mockery by @Once-Ler , and thought I should respond to him and also let others know that when said poster mocks me for my opinions on morality, seriously and inoffensively stated, as he is wont to do, that I won't be responding, and that perhaps he might stop making a fool of himself in response. (Dreaming, I know).
But to the point of this thread, anyone who believes that any pimp anywhere is innocent of crimes and not a sex trafficker, has clearly just fallen off the proverbial turnip truck.
And anyone who has even a modicum of concern for the victims of trafficking should run far away from supporting these so-called 'businessmen.'
Hope that helps answer your question. Sorry I took so long to respond, but I left the thread, as I will again after responding to your post.

Although the alleged assault reportedly occurred in 2005, the unidentified woman didn’t report the incident until two years later, saying she had previously "acted like it was all okay" but "was tired of being hurt" and wanted to stand up for herself, according to the paper.
Metzger denied the sexual encounter to Lyon County police and said she “never saw any girl get sexually assaulted.†She also claimed she only met Hof once.
Hof took 43 percent of the vote earlier this month in beating out incumbent Assemblyman James Oscarson (R).
According to the publication, the account is just one of multiple allegations that have been made against him, including two other detailed sexual assault claims made by two former sex workers in 2009 and 2011.

Of course there have been assaults.
I repeat...... anyone who thinks a guy in this vile “profession “ is innocent is in serious denial of the degradation of abuse and crime perpetrated as a matter of course in pimping.

Oh. What a surprise. Allegations that went nowhere 10 or 15 years ago are now a hot button issue now that he is the nominee. Funny how that works.

I see more teachers being arrested for rape and serious crimes then I see brothel owners arrested. As a matter of fact, Hof never was arrested and the police closed the case because there was nothing there.
