Ryan says Obama should tell other Democrats to stop questioning Ryan's
divorce

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/politics/8286825.htm

CHICAGO - Republican Senate candidate Jack Ryan on Friday called on his opponent to stop other Democrats from questioning the content of sealed records stemming from Ryan's divorce.

Democrat Barack Obama, who won his party's nomination for the U.S. Senate, has said he will not bring up the issue of Ryan's divorce. But since the primary election, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has kept the issue alive by distributing news stories that discuss the issue.

"I think he's got to take it a step forward and say, 'Not only me, but none of the people who are supporting me will do it,'" Ryan said during a taping of WBBM-AM's "At Issue."

Ryan's strong early lead in the polls was tested in the final days of the campaign when Republican leaders and rivals publicly declared concern that records from Ryan's divorce with actress Jeri Ryan contained information that could damage him in a general election.

...more...

oh please make the bad men stop! he begs. We only bring up those things about Democrats - please don't dig in GOP pasts, it might damage us, he whines.

Get over it! Show us the papers and face up to it like adults, not like sniveling little worms.

5. Maybe he should take some of his $100 million and do a campaign
to get the facts out. Oh yeah, he doesn't want the facts out.

2. What a wimp !
I'll bet the reason those files are sealed have nothing to do with "protecting his son".

Hypocrites. This guy was in a 1-on-1 with Phil Ponce (PBS Chicago Tonight) this week, and he just made me hate him even more. He's an arrogant P.O.S. trying to buy himself a Senate seat.

Apparently this multi-millionaire wants to totally eliminate the capital gains tax! He's a GOP wet dream.

And Frances, you're damn right about the Monica comparison.

7. This ass blabs about quitting his job to go teach in inner-city schools
The fact is that he would never have to work again. He's worth approximately $100 million. He taught part-time in an inner-city, private prep-school, because he donated money to the school in exchange for the right to teach there. Chicago Public Schools would not hire him because he was not certified to teach and wasn't willing to go through the effort to get certified.

He's a complete jerk who cares nothing about inner-city kids or anyone else for that matter.

3. He was married to Seven Of Nine??
I did not know that! Then maybe here's something he might understand... Give it up, Ryan...

Resistance is futile!

9. What's he going to do? Slap them around? Dems should get a restraining
order against Ryan. It sounds like he might have a short fuse.

12. Maybe he is building this up for nothing
so when they are opened people will expect something horrible -- and when it isn't as bad as people expect they will say " hey that's nothing"
