Does anyone know what Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment was? Just more evidence that there is no one of Reagan's ability or stature in this primary field.

That didn't stop Reagan from slamming Ford in '76. It is what made him competitive in that race. The 11th commandment is from Reagans '66 Gov run when the party was split apart after Goldwater. Reagan wasn't bashful in going after Ford in '76 and Bush in '80. If we were to go by this today, all of FR would have to keep their mouth shut about Mittens and his terrible record. I'll pass.

The words my be accurate the presentation is pure distortion.

You have just given the textbook definition of the negative political advertisement. Problem is, they WORK. Paul can never be nominated, but this is just a taste of what Newt will face.

Ron Paul is a first class nut case.

If you can't convince voters to vote for you based on your own merits, because you are a raving lunatic, then you have to try to destroy your opponent with disingenuous advertising and claims. Ron Paul is such a class act.

Interesting that Ron Paul is running the same sort of campaign that Obama is going to run--since he can't run on his record either.

So much for Reagan's 11th commandment--oh yeah, Paul abandoned Reagan and the Republican Party back in the 80's.

I see the ad fails to mention the fact that Ron Paul is one of the highest, if not the highest recipient of pork-barrel money and requester of earmarks in Congress all the while railing against them and claiming that "he doesn't vote for them."

There's hypocrisy and then there's hypocrisy.

Your old buddy RUN-Paul is making a huge mistake by wasting campaign funds to take out who he sees as a threat to his pathetic Populist/Liberalterian dream.

This won't do him a bit of good and it will help Newt before it will hurt him. It will only manage to illustrate how hateful the Paul camp truly is. Instead of going after Romney and Obama, they take this route. What ever dudes, just go smoke another doob and it will all be good.

>>Paul attacking Newt or other Republicans is a stupid way to go about becoming the nominee and it’s why Gingrich is doing well.<<

.
But now that these serious charges are out in the open for everyone to hear and see it behooves Newt to respond to them or they will be mentioned on December 27 when there will be another televised debate.

If Newt does not respond to these charges, Bambi may use them for his own campaign in 2012 and the MSM will run with them.

AMEN. Enough of the stupid, nonexistent "11th Commandment". It is a Republican fantasy, used mainly by RINOs to defend their pathetic losers, like McCain and Romney. A real conservative can defend themselves, and won't hide behind something that Reagan himself did not abide.

Most of the Republican candidates are too stupid to realize that all their fire should be directed at Obama.

Newt is not the guy to lead America.

I've got to agree with that. It seems to me that Newt is all about getting himself the title "President of the United States".

He is not about advancing any conservative agenda. In fact, in that regard, Newt is like Romney - totally unpredictable. At least with Paul, Bachmann, and the rest you could comfortably predict what they would do.

Sounds like a great idea for a Newt ad!

On behalf of first class nut cases everywhere I demand an apology.

Well let's taks some things that are NOT out of context:Newt is NOT anywhere close to a conservative. He's nothing but a liberal political hack who says what people want to hear, but when elected is nothing but a liberal on the Republican side, and he didn't even used to be a Republican - he took money to switch sides from Democrat so in actuality he's just a whore.

Why do you assume I support RuPaul? I do not. Just posting an ad that Drudge put on his page at noon.

To not speak negatively about fellow conservatives? How does this apply to Newt?

Righto. If someone should complain about the ‘11th”, it could be Paul, but he gives and receives. ‘Tis the season to be unmerry’ when it comes to getting the nomination.

Funny how the public has a big problem with a former politician working as a paid lobbyist for $1million while Jamie Gorelick got paid $26million on the inside because she was such a banking genius after being such a national security genius and then went on to be a legal advisor genius "helping" negotiate damages between BP and the gubmint.

Nobody blinks about the damage that woman has done.

Yeah, but Newt doesn’t believe in “eating our own” just for short term political gain. He’s pretty much shown himself willing to run on his record rather than attacking another candidate’s record.

That was “made” after he was President. I am sure he was brutal like everyone else during the primary.
