"Going negative on a decent man like romney is wrong."

That was once called the 11th Commandment when Ronald Reagan urged against slamming fellow Republicans.

Now it is pretty rare to even hear about it, let alone to believe it and practice it.

You may recall that my favorite president and hero Ronald Reagan -- after whom my daughter Reagan is named -- aggressively attacked Gerald Ford's giveaway of the Panama Canal.

Reagan didn't attack Ford personally. He attacked Ford's public record, and because Reagan was no hypocrite, it's obvious that the so-called 11th Commandment did not apply to legitimate discussion and disagreement over issues.

Same thing with Romney's documentable public record of support for abortion on demand and elements of the homosexual agenda. Nothing personal. All public policy. And if StayTrue doesn't want Romney (and every other politician) judged on his own public record and rhetoric, please tell us -- 2nd request -- on what basis we should judge them.
