Fine with me.
>>>>I wouldn't want to get in the way of your continued violations of Ronald Reagan's Eleventh Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican."
If you knew your political history, you wouldn't be making such an ignorant statement. The 11th commandment was a fallacy. Once again, read on pilgrim.
For starters, Reagan didn't create the 11th commandment. California state GOP chairman Gaylord Parkinson created that slogan in 1966 during the race for Governor. It was meant to counter the attacks on Ronald Reagan from his GOP primary opponent, liberal San Francisco Mayor, George Christopher. For the next ten years that slogan was dormant in the political arena. To my knowledge Reagan didn't use it once.
In 1976 conservative Ronald Reagan challenged Pres Ford for the GOP nomination. Reagan savaged Ford with attacks on both his domestic and foreign policy agenda and rightly so. The Ford campaign slung mud at Reagan, calling him a cowboy and as unqualified to be POTUS. This contentious campaigning went on through the primaries and into the GOP convention. In the primaries, Ford won 15 states and Reagan won 12 states in the closet primary election phase in US history. Ford beat Reagan for the nomination, 1187 delegate votes to 1070. Reagan lost the nomination by 60 votes!
My point being, criticizing and attacking your political opponent has been the case throughout US political history. That includes the political campaigns of Ronald Reagan. The Founding Fathers were real good at taking down their political opponents too. Look at US history.
Rudy is a liberal. We conservatives want him out of the way. We're working to take him down. Politics 101!
Good answer for the standardRonald Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment Whine.
I’m copying it below so I don’t have to look for it in the future, I can find it in my own postings.
