Why do we continue to spread fake history? The Hastert-LaHood-Shimkus pro-corruption GOPe had succeeded in chasing anti-corruption Peter Fitzgerald out of the Senate. They did not want a Peter II. During the primary Jack Ryan ran anti-corruption, as did Rauschenberger (my guy), Oberweiss and Cox.
The establishment was split on what to do when an anti-corruption candidate won the primary. Some paid an alleged conservative consultant to spread the truth and even exaggerate Jack Ryans secret. His email went out to many, many thousands of us the weekend before the primary.
After the primary we had a unity rally. All the losing candidates got up and enthusiastically endorsed Jack Ryan. 99% of the audience was clearly with Jack Ryan. Jack got up and again made it very clear he was going to continue the unfinished job of cleaning up the corruption in the IL GOP (Hastert, etal).
I was watching the small group of GOPe power brokers in the corner. The Undecided ones at that moment clearly decided to push Jack Ryan out.
Barack Obama had zero to do with pushing Jack Ryan out.
I heard those rumors that it was actually the GOP eating their own with Jack Ryan. IL has it’s own uniparty too.
My old research - and this old article - dispute that:
From the above article:
“Ryan would have walloped Obama in the Senate race. But at the request of — again — the Chicago Tribune, California Judge Robert Schnider unsealed the custody papers in Ryan’s divorce five years earlier from Hollywood starlet Jeri Lynn Ryan, the bombshell Borg on ‘Star Trek: Voyager.’”
I do not trust the Uni-Party, but the Chicago Tribune has been far more in cahoots with Obama, Axelrod, Jarrett, and all the other ChiMob/ChiComs than with the GOPe.
This is about unsealing sealed records, not about what you are asserting.
Barack Obama and his criminal gang - not the GOPe - has an established history of getting communist judges to unseal records of his opponents that are supposed to remain sealed. Period.
