Here in Illinois we just had a REPUBLICAN candidate pull out of the senate race because of information that came out on HIS sex life. I don't understand it???? As a nation we are such prudes on the one hand but so interested in other's sex life on the other hand. I worry this will discourage qualified candidates who do not want their sex life broadcast from running. Leaving us with candidates like..... well anyway.
Ditto. Last week, on CNN, the hot topics of the day were Ryan's escapades (as told by his former wife???) leading to him pulling out of the race and the use of the "f" word on the floor. Good Gosh! Who really cares about that stuff? As a nation, this is what we are struggling with? It really makes me wonder about government, and the people that help shape it. After all, if the American people didn't get so giddy about this type of stuff, the media wouldn't report it.
