I keep telling people that Ronald Reagan did not create the phrase, 11th Commandment. Instead it came about during his 1966 run for the California Governorship.
"The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It's a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since."
Reagan actually broke his own rule when he ran against PresFord for the GOP nomination in 1976. Reagan criticized Ford during the entire primary season, right up through and including the GOP convention. Reagan was a true gentleman and he wanted everyone to like him, and vote for him. However, when the chips were on the table, Reagan was a tough SOB. Ford found out how tough Reagan was in 1976 campaign,just as George Bush found out how tough Reagan was in the 1980 campaign for Prez. Politics isn't for the thin skinned, or the faint of heart. If Giuliani wants to be POTUS, he's gonna have to fight for it.
