Calls Taxation "confiscation"

From Eric Dondero:

Now it's Rick Lazio and Warren Redlich on the Republican side, incumbent Gov. David Paterson vs. Andre Cuomo for the Democrats, and for the Libertarian Party Kristin Davis may be the nominee. The campaign officially announced her candidacy today, which got picked up by major NY media.

The NY Daily News out of Long Island is breaking the story...

"Manhattan Madam" Kristin Davis is tossing her lacy brassiere into the political ring - with the help of one of the GOP's most fearsome strategists.

Though he's often labeled a "trickster," former Nixon, Reagan and Bushes operative Roger Stone tells us he's dead serious about getting Davis on the ballot.

"This is not a hoax, a prank or a publicity stunt," said Stone, who has been quietly huddling with Davis for months. "I want to get her a half-million votes."

Davis is then quoted as taking hardline libertarian stances. Continuing:

While branding "taxation as confiscation," the former escort empress said the legalization of prostitution and marijuana could provide $2.5 billion in revenue to help close the budget gap.

"I'm a natural Libertarian," said Davis, who also embraces gay marriage and the views of the National Rifle Association.

Davis goes on to hint that the campaign will be well-funded with contributions from her former Escort Service clients, and even Pot Growers from California.

Meanwhile The Gothamist adds more details about the coming campaign:

What kind of reform? Well, Davis calls herself a "natural Libertarian," hates taxes, wants to legalize prostitution and marijuana (hello, revenue), and supports gay marriage while being a card-carrying member of the NRA! Stone, who says GOP candidate Rick Lazio is "a turkey," is also plotting to get Davis's Penthouse Pet friends involved, "We'll get four, make them notary publics and have them, suitably attired, collecting signatures [for Davis to get on the ballot] at Grand Central Station during rush hour."
