[The KG9 Kid]

As usual, nowhere in the article do they mention he's a Democrat.

KG9 KID, THE ARTICLE DID NOT SAY HE WAS A DEMOCRAT, BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF OURS. THAT IS RIGHT, OUR PARTY CODDLED THIS S.O.B.

Kid, I'm glad that this guy is getting justice. You should know, however, that he's a RINO.

When he ran for governor, the Democrats had a true conservative from southern Illinois at the top of their ticket. Boss Daley ordered his people to work for Ryan, who never saw a conservative principle that he liked.

Weakened by the "License for Bribes" Scandal, Ryan's only hope of staying in the governor's mansion was to become a yes-man for Daley. I remember one banquet in which Daley called Ryan, "The best governor in Illinois history".

I agree with the posts who claim that Ryan singlehandedly destroyed the GOP in Illinois. In fact, he established the principle in this state that only a moderate ... read that "SOMONE WHO ALWAYS VOTES WITH THE DEMS" ... can be elected to public office.

As the President said the other day, "Good riddance ...". I hope that he enjoys being cloistered ...

If I had to guess, I would say that they didn't mention that he's a Democrat because he is a Republican.
