By which I mean, he's an anti-tax conservative Catholic.

JACK RYAN ON THE WAR ON TERRORISM
As a U.S. Senator, I will be committed to making our state and country as safe as possible. I believe, as President Bush does, that the U.S. government’s most important mission is to protect the homeland from those who would do us harm.
JACK RYAN ON CUTTING TAXES
As we learned from Ronald Reagan, low tax rates are what encourage people to work and invest, thereby driving economic growth. Families and individuals need the ability to spend, save, or invest more of their money for this positive growth to occur.
Illinois needs a Republican U.S. Senator in Washington that will support the President’s tax cuts and not be an obstacle to progress.
JACK RYAN ON EDUCATION
In 2000, I left Goldman Sachs as a partner to teach at Hales Franciscan High School - an all African-American, all-boys parochial school on the South Side of Chicago. It was one of the best decisions of my life.
JACK RYAN ON PEACE AND SECURITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST
As a nation, we need to be committed to the security of Israel as a Jewish state and the safety of the Israeli people. As leaders, we have the responsibility to work towards the common goal of having two states living side by side in peace and security.
JACK RYAN ON PROTECTING LIFE
I believe in protecting life from conception to natural death. It is crucial that, as a society, we work to create a culture of respect for life.
JACK RYAN ON THE 2ND AMENDMENT
One of my duties as a U.S. Senator from Illinois will be to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States, and that includes defending the 2nd Amendment from those who wish to dilute its meaning.
Wow- He sounds like the real deal. That's good news. If IL isn't an easy pickup for the Rats it makes their 2004 uphill battle that much steeper. Even if he loses, IL is an expensive state and if they have to fight hard there it will cost them precious resources they need elsewhere.
