Was that whole Jack Ryan sex club business ever proven? It’s not unheard of to allege any manner of crap in the course of a divorce proceeding.
As to Ryan himself, I remember seeing him on TV before all that broke out and thinking “I don’t like this guy”. Still not sure what it was...something just seemed phony about him.
Did Ryan say that or did his wife?
This Cain hunt has obama’s mo on it.
His wife did, but they both petitioned to have the particulars of their divorce kept secret. I believe her; she had nothing to gain from this information becoming public, and Jack Ryan didn’t deny the charges...
Right THAT is the way he wins. Keep in mind Obama did the same thing on his previous. He had his oppenent thrown off the ballot.
Ryan should have hung in there, but he had too much self-respectI'm sorry, but "self-respect" isn't the right term for someone who behaved the way Ryan did. He was a pervert, and he hoped to hide the fact from the voters.
The problem wasn't that the Dems dug up the information, but that Ryan did those things.
And whatever he did or wanted to do, it was with his wife.
You may not approve of it, but you ain't God, even though you think you are.
No, the problem is that idiots like you are willing to hold our candidates to a higher standard than the opposition candidates.First of all, watch the "idiot" stuff. You could end up having your account disabled for posting abusive comments.And whatever he did or wanted to do, it was with his wife.

It's funny that you seem to think I objected to Ryan on religious reasons, since I'm not at all religious. The problem was that Ryan was behaving in a way that left him wide open to blackmail or extortion. Anyone who has those kinds of skeletons in their closets shouldn't run.
If Ryan had any "self respect", he wouldn't have put the Republican voters in the position of having to support someone who obviously can't get elected. If Ryan hadn't run, we might very well have had a good candidate who would have beaten Obama.
If you aren't willing to apply any standards to your candidates, you really should switch to the Democratic Party. I suspect you would fit in much better in the party of Bill Clinton.
You just proved your not only an idiot, but a whiner and a bully.
You just proved your not only an idiot, but a whiner and a bully.Thanks for making my point that you would fit in better with Democrats. They like name calling.
With “conservatives” like you who abandon a candidate at the first sign of a state-controlled media smear, who needs “conservatives?”
With “conservatives” like you who abandon a candidate at the first sign of a state-controlled media smear, who needs “conservatives?”It isn't a smear if it's true. Unfortunately, in Ryan's case it was true. At least Ryan never disputed the charges. Anyone who has such a skeleton in his closet shouldn't run for office. If they are willing to publicly present any embarrassing/illegal facts for the voters to consider, then I don't have a problem with them.
I'm supporting Cain, and I believe that he is being smeared. If it turns out that he has lied about any of this, then I will dump him immediately. We don't need liars as our candidates, nor people who are in a position to be blackmailed.
Why don’t you threaten me again, you little woos?
Why don’t you threaten me again, you little woos?Wow! You're a belligerent drunk, aren't you?
Maybe you should just go and sleep it off.
You've probably had a lot of experience being drunk, so I'll leave that commentary to you.
They stink now all around.
What major paper has any credibility now? The WSJ a little bit?
It’s a good thing no one cares about newpapers anymore.
It was better in the olden days when the papers were openly partisan, some GOP, some dem. Now we have fake objectivity which usually favors the rats.
Similar to public employees. The spoils system was much better than the current situation with the unions.
