Porter Kirkwood vs Gary Rosa - main problematic positions of candidates as expressed at the meeting with voters in October of 2015 in Sidney

I watched and listened through the one-and-a-half hour video of the meeting of judicial candidates Gary Rosa and Porter Kirkwoods with voters in October 2015.

The main problems that spring up (my personal opinion, of course) come from answers of candidates to two questions of the moderator

1) if and when it is appropriate to terminate parental rights;

2) if and when it is appropriate to put parents in jail for non-payment of child support,

and based on statements of Porter Kirkwood

3) about his devotion to work to protect "families and children", 

4) his alleged encouragement by Porter Kirkwood to his supporters not to succumb to the alleged, but not specified "negativity" in the current judicial election campaign and the alleged "high road" of his campaign;

5) about Kirkwood's alleged love for appellate practice (while Rosa professed no experience in appellate practice);

6) and, the most horrible of all, a boastful revelation of Porter Kirkwood about a program of unlawful psychological experimentation on foster care children at taxpayers' expense.  What Kirkwood parades as his advantage over Gary Rosa, is in fact, attorney misconduct warranting disbarment - where Porter Kirkwood first prosecuted as juvenile sex offenders, and then Porter Kirkwood, as advisor to the Delaware County DSS, the children's legal guardian, gave consent to experimental "treatment" (torture and sexual abuse) of those foster care children by a notorious, indiscriminate and greedy snake-oil peddler, the now-deceased psychologist "Dr." Hamill who was NOT a medical doctor and whose methods were NOT scientifically proven, at a cost to taxpayers of over $52,000 per foster child per year.

I already posted yesterday a blog about Kirkwood's appellate experience, which makes his claims that he took the job with the County because of his love of appellate practice a joke.

The rest of the five topics I outlined here require consideration in separate blogs, which I am going to do shortly.

Stay tuned.
