Jack Ryan's divorce records NEVER should have been made public. And even afterwards the Republican party should have stood behind him, rather than hung him out to dry. Heck the Illinois Republicans made a bigger deal of the "scandal" than Barack Obama did. I think part of the reason behind Obama's landslide was that he did take the high road with the whole Jack Ryan debacle. I may not have agreed with his politics, but I had far more respect for him than the loony bin in charge of the Illinois Republican party. Ryan COULD have been a rising star in the Republican party... Possibly even an eventual Presidential contender. He was well-spoken and good-looking (in a JFK Jr. kind of way), and I liked his politics. He was more moderate than many of his Republican competitors in the primary race.

That, my friend, is a false dichotomy. “He’s lying or he’s mentally ill.”
