[west5548]

Well, well, well, apparently Blackwell overlooked his problem while trying to corner Strickland. The man is sick.

1. And he kept him on the payroll

And gave him two raises after he found out about him. Typical R hypocrisy.

2. You should post some of the meat...

Hand-written notes in the report showed that Toomer had been arrested in Florida for armed robbery in 1981, cocaine possession twice in 1991, and again in 1993. Records from Broward County, Fla., authorities show that the charges for armed robbery and the first incident of cocaine possession were dropped.


Well, actually this coke-head was busted a third time...

Toomer completed a drug treatment program for the second 1991 cocaine possession charge and was placed on probation. In 1993, he was charged again with cocaine possession and his probation was extended for six months.

And, It appears that termination could have taken place immediately but they opted not to publicize?...

On Feb. 3, 1998, a week after learning of Toomer’s criminal record, Beth Gilger, then the treasurer’s director of human resources, wrote on office stationery that "we have enough to terminate" Toomer. At the time, and for the following six weeks, Toomer could have been fired without cause because he wasn’t yet a member of the state employees union.

Then at the very end ...

We find out he was a coke-head/child molester the whole damn time...

In May 2002, about three months after leaving the treasurer’s office, Toomer was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a girl, beginning in September 1994 when she was 7 and continuing until 2001.

Finally. to show the unmitigated gall of these slimy repukes, he blames the DEM...

The revelation that Blackwell hired and kept a felon on the payroll comes as the GOP nominee intensifies his attack on Strickland. Blackwell has accused Strickland of using poor judgment by not investigating the record of a former top aide who had been convicted in 1994 of a fourth degree misdemeanor public indecency offense. Strickland denied the accusation, noting that the record of the offense had been expunged.

The Blackwell campaign this week is making "push poll" calls to Ohio voters, a deceptive method of using what appear to be legitimate surveys to spread a negative message about an opponent.

If recipients of such calls say they plan to vote for Strickland, a recorded voice is programmed to provide information about the former aide who "exposed himself" to children. A subsequent message details a vote Strickland cast in Congress on a resolution condemning sex between adults and children. Strickland, a psychologist, voted "present," saying he objected to a provision of the resolution that said sexually abused children could not have healthy relationships later in life.


The record of the conviction was EXPUNGED?

How on earth did the repukes find out about this?


This whole episode is the perfect example of: "blame the other guy for what you yourself do, because in a delusional criminal mind, you are only doing what you perceive, that everyone else does anyway"

3. Wow, I really hope...

this gets into the newspapers. OK, I see it was in the Dispatch - totally missed that part - I just skimmed the highlights. I hope it gets into the local papers down here, too, though the staff is pretty Republican.
