It's Just a Little Lie About Sex....Is That So Wrong?!
As I mentioned before, I think Jack Ryan got a raw deal, but when you align yourself with a party that is increasingly puritanical, you really shouldn't be surprised. I mean after all, when the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Lawrence v. Texas and legalized private consensual, nonprocreative sex between adults, you had Senator Santorum out their saying that he doesn't think you have a right to sexual privacy.
Anyway, here's Mr. Ryan's quote, it actually made me laugh out loud.
Hello! Don't you just love quotes like that. I mean who wouldn't agree with that statement? But that's not the issue and Ryan knows it. The issue was wanting to have public sex with his wife, apparently against her wishes and then try to sweep it under the rug. In other words, Ryan is saying..."Hey, it's just a little lie about sex, is that so bad?" Well, the GOP seems to think so, the only other politician I know who recently told a "little" lie about sex was impeached.
Go back to your do-good-by-day, do-others-by-night Mr. Ryan, we don't need you lame spin.

"I think we need more people going to Washington, D.C., who want to engage in marital relations with their wives. I think that's a good thing for this country, not a bad thing."

Ahh Bronson, how I relish your comments. First of all, the only thing I don't like about Mr. Ryan was his lame attempt at spin. "We should have more people in Washington who want to have marital relations with their wives." Sounds like a non-denial/admission to me. But that aside, I think that, and have posted as much, the people of Illinois are the ones to loose here. Barak Obama and Jack Ryan were probably two of the best candidates for their respective parties, now the voters of Illinois don't really have a choice or the competition that brings out the best in the candidates. That's unfortunate and sad.
As for the rest of the country, I won't presume to tell them what to think or dismiss them as living in 'fly-over' territory, but rather base my view of them on my personal experience in politics, that people are much more forgiving and understanding of peoples human failings than are politicians or the media, because they are likely aware of their own failings.
Also, I agree that Clinton was guilty of purjury, but I would offer that Ryan (if the allegations are in fact true) is guilty of .....
Suborning Covetivness!
Thanks for your continued comments!
