"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh, ooh, ooh! Mr. Spice-airrr!"
"So is it still okay for Republican Senators to speak ill of Republican voters by calling them wackobirds and crazies?"

(CNN) —The Republican National Committee has a message for candidates like Donald Trump: No more name-calling.
That's what the party's chief strategist and communications director Sean Spicer said on CNN's "Reliable Sources" on Sunday.
"I understand it's going to be the nature of any primary for folks to discuss the differences between themselves on policy issues, and I think that's fine," Spicer said. "The name calling, however, needs to stop."
Spicer added: "We have got to remember what Ronald Reagan taught us, his 11th commandment, 'Thou shall not speak ill of another Republican.'"
Spicer didn't point his comments directly at Trump or any other candidate, but it's Trump who has been receiving the most attention for insulting his rivals in recent weeks.
And wacko birds?
“Trump has only been responding to the name calling directed towards him!”
Exactly. And it galls me that they not only don’t name the ones doing it, but they expect Trump to back down and apologize.
Instead, he’s speaking the truth and not backing down one bit. Love it!
Especially when Reagan in fact actually did not make that rule up. California Republican Party Chairman Gaylord Parkinson did in the 1960's. With the betrays to the nation going on in the GOP today I do not think Reagan would remain silent nor remain silent about those engaging in such behavior no matter their party. The 11th commandment is a favorite of GOP-E and officials holding control within the party itself.
Personally I think it's time for fist fights. Political differences in this nation have been settled in that manner. It's just in the past few decades you no longer here of it anymore. My home town used to have a Mayor/City Councilman who was well known for it and a lot of other things. LOL.
Yep, I wish our Congress was like the Taiwanese Parliament.
Who here wouldn’t relish the thought of seeing Harry Reid get one right in the kisser?
RNC would have loved Cas Walker LOL.
Look up Cas Walker +Knoxville, TN and look at some video and read the Wiki BIO. People here fell into two catagories those who loved him and those who hated him. He was not a man for middle ground unless he himself made a penny from it LOL.
Is traitor-to-the-electorate name calling?
Not in my opinion. The guy I’m talking about was a millionaire grocery chain owner. He had his own political newspaper, turned at least one city council member into a brawl, and had some colorful language to call his opponents in reference to their canine parentage LOL. There was a lot more. I wouldn’t have trusted him for anything but still he was a fighter among other things LOL. Some of his commercials of the day I saw on TV as a kid would touch off a DOJ investigation in these times LOL.
ted cruz had it right when he refused to criticize trump for his mccain comments; the MSM gets its rocks off provoking and reporting “republican-on-republican violence”, and it’s a blunder to play into their hands.
This 11th Commandment crapola is regularly and wrongfully attributed to Ronaldus Maximus. It was actually an invention of one time California Republican State Chairman Gaylord Parkinson. I think he was a contemporary of Reagan's time as California gubernatorial candidate in 1966 and formulated this device because the liberal GOP candidate against Reagan in that year's gubernatorial primary had slung oceans of mud at Reagan.
The GOP-E have NEVER gotten over the fact that Reagan's primary campaign against Feckless Ford in 1976 cost Ford the election (and a good thing too!). Jimmuh Peanut screwed up the nation for four years but named no SCOTUS justices. A direct result of Jimmuh Peanut's election was Reagan's landslide elections of 1980 and 1984.
GOP-E are corrupt anti-American traitors!
McCain called Trump supporters “crazies”. Trump responded.
Perry insulted Trump. Trump responded.
Graham called him a jackass. Trump spilled the beans that Graham had asked him for money and for help getting of FOX. Trump responded.
So, McCain, Perry, Graham...should stop the name calling.
They said don’t call other REPUBLICANS names. They don’t consider tea partiers republicans. Tea Partiers should remember that when they’re deciding who to vote for.
Eff you Spicer
I pray you’re outta work soon
The first GOP establishment purge on Mississippi was when Bush and Rove orchestrated Trent Lotts collapse for his praise of Strom Thurmond
They went PC on unlikable Lott and put in even more centrist Frist as their man
Next Ed Gillespie and Rove and Laura called us sexists for opposing Harriett
Then we were called bigots over amnesty by the very folks we elected
Then as you say Cochran and so forth
These pieces of excrement have been shafting us long enough
Now they are race baiting CRUZ and Trump
They would whore their daughters on Caligulas barge to keep power
Nothing of value there
In a hot war their scalps would be at high risk
That snotty bitch
Didn’t you just want to slap her
To quote Rambo, “They drew first blood.”
RNC, Stop acting like demonRats..
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh, ooh, ooh! Mr. Spice-airrr!"
"So is it still okay for Republican Senators to speak ill of Republican voters by calling them wackobirds and crazies?"
Trump is reacting to the name-calling.
The RNC still can’t seem to figure how they’re being aced by a celebrity billionaire nor figure out what to do about it.
