Strippers look to GOP to 'make it rain'
A strip club with a spaceship on the roof seems an odd place to expect Republicans. At first blush, one might not equate lap dances with the political party that wraps itself in buttoned-down family values. But at convention time, even upstanding men seem to seek out undressed women. When the Christian group Promise Keepers held a convention in Tampa a couple of years ago, attendees flooded the 2001 Odyssey, co-owner Jim Kleinhans recalls. They had such a good time that "they kept their promise to come back the next night."

... if past conventions are any indicator, Republicans are likely to outspend Democrats heavily at topless bars and strip clubs, says Angelina Spencer. She heads the Association of Club Executives, an organization for the nation's 4,000 "gentleman's club" owners. The group talked to members in the host cities of past conventions.
"When we compared spending," Spencer notes, "the average showed Republicans spending $150 per person at an adult club, versus Democrats, who averaged $50 a person."
An interesting article on Tampa strip clubs that is not as focused on the GOP convention as the headline would indicate.
an explanation for the discrepancy is offered in the article - see if you can find it.
So what? Do you find strip clubs inherently evil or something?

I could care less if Republican politicians visit strip clubs. I do care if the same people try and legislate their hypocritical views on sexual morality.
This is a non issue...strippers looking to make money isnt unusual and if it was the democrat convention the headline would read...Strippers Look to Democrats to make it Rain...shrug
There's more than one poster here @ DP who would find it HUGE news if it were Democrats.
Now thats an understatement Rocket
Actually... I heard it somewhere else before, democrat scandals are about money, republican scandals are about sex...
I doubt it would raise many eyebrows, it is kind of expected of dems.

I know it goes against the narrative espoused by the Democrat Party but the GOP is a big tent party. Not every member is an evangelical. In fact, many of the new crop are far from it.

It's not in the article, but republicans are far better tippers. They've done pieces on it before contrasting conventions and campaign stops. Dems are crappy tippers, at least the campaigners.
That said, the way the party is these days, the male hookers will do very well during the republican convention and the high class call girls will do well during the democratic convention (especially among married men).
:rofl: the GOP is a big tent party!!!!! :rofl:
:funny :funny :funny

I think the male hookers might struggle, the gay crowd already has plans. https://www.goproud.org/homocon-2012
