Dating for (campaign) dollars
October 31, 2005 Uncategorized
SWM likes walks in the rain, looking for the right kind of girl. No pro-choice feminists need apply.
I don’t know why we had to find this out from another website, but apparently a young Republican whippersnapper in Grand Prairie is running for Congress. This by itself isn’t news, but the fact that he tried to sell dates for campaign dollars is [WorldNetDaily]. From the article:
“They say the young candidates bring in fresh ideas, and I figured why not, I’m single, and I need quite a bit of money to meet my goals for this campaign against Mr. Barton,” Dauben said in his original release. “A date with a congressional candidate at $25 is nothing compared to what major corporations wine and dine their pet politicians with.”
Now we are all about your freedom to go out and get some, but for campaign dollars? Not so much.
Too, too funny. If you’re interested, here’s Mr. Dauben’s “official” website and his MySpace page.
He has since stopped the offer. Sorry, ladies!

$25? Sorry, he’s not that cute. And I love his tirades about financial independence. And then he says he has raised/spent a little over $5,000, $4000 of which came from Mom and Dad. Typical.

Yeah I went over his stuff and it seems like a classic case of young republican syndrome - speak the talking points and get everything handed to you.
I don’t know, but down here in Houston if a guy is trying to raise money by selling dates, isn’t that consider being a whore? Hmmmm, perhaps a redefinition is in order. I thinks its funny that his favorite band in “Chevelle”. I didn’t the Reps. listened to alternative rock.
I’d take him for $20 -though he would have to buy the dinner.
I ‘d take him and treat him like my Chisum
what a loser
at last. a politician who admits he’s a whore BEFORE going into public service.
My goodness, he certainly looks tall in that photo.
I like that he is against gay marriage, but he is in favor of private contracts, specifically that he should be able to not have to deal with gay people. What a nut.
In the end, it’s always about meeting chicks
Seldom is the question asked “How much would you pay to go out on a date with a Congressional candidate?”…
Hilarious! I am surprised it took so long for anyone to hear about this…LOL He thinks running against Joe as a Republican instead of the Libertarian he is gives him “political credibility”…I am not sure where the dates for dollars scheme factors into it!
