Strickland Squishy On Unlawful Sex

News has surfaced which indicates that Ohio Democrat Ted Strickland has a laissez-faire attitude toward sexual offenders and, as a consequence, his character and capacity to serve the public should be seriously questioned.

Previously, it was reported that Strickland failed to condemn a bizarre study which found that sexual abuse is not always bad for children. Apparently, Ted Strickland believes that child sexual abuse can sometimes produce positive results. It's also been reported that Strickland coddled a campaign manager who was previously convicted of sexual misconduct before pre-teen girls at a school.

These episodes are telling. Specifically, Strickland apparently does not share the overwhelming outrage of society concerning child sex offenses and offenders. His lack of a rigorous and firm position against sexual molestation and predation is unacceptable. Squishiness is not an admirable leadership trait.

Strickland should bow out of public service and go back to teaching psychology.
