...plus it basically says "thou shalt not talk ill will about a fellow Repub".....it didn't say you couldn't run against one.....it was more the spirit of it .....and I agree with....I may not like some of the candidates but I don't bash any.....unlike tons of FR's who bash anyone that isn't on the furthest of the right.....ludicrous.....
The spirit of the 11th commandment was inside Ronald Reagan. He was running for office and he had to deal with his conservative base and the moderate-centrist-liberal contingent of Republicans. That was the Reagan coalition. Social and fiscal conservatives. All great leaders really don't run around slamming their own. Usually. Except today, its a bit different story. If you look at the direction the GOP has taken in the last six years, I think if Reagan was around today and engaged with political reality, he'd be appalled at whats happened to Republicans. Also, Reagan denounced his membership in the Democratic Party, because they moved away from their traditional agenda. Reagan saw a home in the GOP. Reagan changed political parties once, he could do it again.
Btw, outside of Rudy, I don't bash any of the candidates. Look it up.
