“When the chips are down and the decisions are made as to who the candidates will be, then the 11th commandment prevails and everybody goes to work, and that is: Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.”
-Ronald Reagan
“I had certainly gotten off on the wrong foot with the Republican Party by daring to take on the GOP Chairman Randy Ruedrich, and then incumbent Governor Frank Murkowski. Party bosses weren’t going to let me forget that I had broken their Eleventh Commandment-’Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican’” —Sarah Palin
