Steve Aiken is the kind of man you want running your campaign. He's a former police officer and reverend who worked with a children's program in Quakertown, PA, called YouthQuest. He's a radio talk show host who speaks on conservative family values and Republican issues, and he's affiliated with the Traditional Values Coalition. The problem is, the man has a criminal record, though Randy Graf, the Congressman in Arizona's 8th District says that Aiken's crimes are no worse than giving beer to minors. Really?
Aiken was convicted of forcing himself on a girl 15 times, including breaking into her home and undressing her so he could "rub her breasts". The prosecutors in this area I live in saw fit to charge him with a total of 2.5 months in jail. Aiken claims the charges were false, and Graf stands by his campaign manager.
WOW.
I can't believe that this is the best the Republican party can find to run campaigns. Traditional values at their best.
