Talk:Jack Ryan (politician)

message: Ok I am not definitely in support of this guy, he seems like a major douche bag in my opinion. But as liberal democrat and an honest person, I must say that this article on this guy seems very left winged. The tone seems very one sided. But in the end thought this guy sucks so I dont really ALL that much.
:Any specific criticisms? I'd appreciate if you'd let me know how to improve the article (or you can edit yourself, if you'd like). Thanks, Meelar (talk) 03:43, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
::It seems pretty factual to me; there's a part where it discusses what his reactions to the allegations were, then it goes on to discuss what the Republican Party did in response. Quentin mcalmott 20:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is stupid. 90% of the content is about one thing: unsealing of divorce records during the senate race and the related sex scandal! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.108.43.241 (talk) 14:15, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The first sex scandal in American Political History where no one had sex.
He is accused of propositioning his wife (albeit in a kinky manner).
She refused.
He said OK.
This was so idiotic. He should have come clean sooner and no one would have cared (people in divorces make outragous statements. 198.232.63.43 23:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  WTF are you people talking about.  The article says "sex scandal" once and no further mention of sex.  If it happened, list the details, if not, take it down.  So stupid.  You guys above talking about "whore's bargains" and what not look like morons. 67.41.202.126 (talk) 20:54, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was informed by an official in the Illinois Republican Party (now deceased) that the real problem was that before the papers were unsealed, Ryan was called in by the heads of the party and asked, "Is there anything in these records that we should be concerned about?" and he replied that there wasn't. Then the records were published, and there most certainly was cause for concern. As the person who related this told me, "If we had known, we could have easily spun what Jeri said as the accusations of an aggrieved ex-wife. But Jack's lie was unforgivable."

thread_title:  Dumbest Sex Scandal in American Political History 

message: I have a problem with part of the Platform section.
"stresses accountability in education and freedom." Freedom? As opposed to other politicians, who are obviously anti-freedom. Jack Ryan may describe is platform as 'pro-freedom' but so would John Kerry, Pat Buchanan and, yes, his former opponent Barack Obama. Saying a candidate id 'pro-freedom' doesn't say anything. It's also NPOV as it suggests that his opponents are anti-freedom, which is neither fair, nor comfirmable.

thread_title:  Platform 

message: "The following week, on April 2, 2004, Barack Obama formally established his position about the Ryans' soon-to-be-released divorce records, and called on Democrats to not inject them into the campaign."
Really, what does this mean? The dirty work was done by his allies so he could hold up clean hands? Exactly the same thing happened with fellow Democrat Blair Hull. The politics of personal destruction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.67.35.223 (talk) 11:26, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  any relation to George Ryan? 

message: This article claims that Ryan was worth hundreds of millions from the Goldman float. My understanding is that only the few partners that were on the Executive Committee got stock worth that much. The average partner got about $60 million. This quote of "hundreds of millions" is bogus. I am going to change it unless anybody has any objections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.15.227 (talk) 07:14, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
