Republican campaign manager has sexual history with minors
The Republican Party has a campaign manager in the state of Arizona by
the name of Steve Aiken who was convicted back in 1995 of having
sexual relations with a teenager.
ABC News has the story:

A man convicted of "corruption of minors" after being accused of
having sex with two teenage girls is working as the campaign manager
for a Republican candidate for Congress in Arizona, according to
documents obtained by ABC News.
Steve Aiken, a former Quakertown, Pa. police officer and
self-proclaimed reverend, was convicted of two counts of corruption of
a minor stemming from his 1995 sexual relationships with two teenage
girls.
He served almost two-and-a-half months at the Montgomery County
Correctional Facility.
Aiken is listed as campaign manager for Randy Graf, a Republican in a
five-way primary for the Congressional seat in Arizona's 8th district.
It is also worth mentioning that Steve Aiken, other than being the
campaign manager for U.S. House candidate Randy Graf, has a radio show
based out of Tucson, Arizona called "Straight from the Hip."

On his personal web site, SteveAiken.com, he describes himself as a
"working class conservative," http://www.steveaiken.com/ and claims to
host "the fastest growing talk radio show in Arizona."

Even more interesting, Aiken was once the Communications Director for
the Traditional Values Coalition, a group that represents 43,000
churches nationwide in the ongoing effort to ban gay marriage.

And back in 2001, as member of that coalition, Aiken wrote a press
release about how Harry Potter promotes Wicca, a "witchcraft" religion
that he said advocates "homosexuality" and "abortion as a sacred act."

U.S. House candidate Randy Graf, whose campaign is being managed by
Steve Aiken, is trying to fill the House seat of retiring Republican
Congressman Jim Kolbe.
Now you know one of the interesting minds behind the Republican effort
to maintain control of Congress.
