Wasn't it Reagan who said "Thou shalt not speak ill of another member of your party"? I always thought it was like family. The whole family knows Uncle Art is a drunk, but ya just don't go around town telling people. Ya don't let others talk about Uncle Art either.
I don't see these other Republicans doing that. The only one that follows that rule is President Bush. So if they think they can attack him, they deserve whatever they get.
The only Republicans that seem to follow the 11th Commandment are Bush, Tom Delay, and dare I say, Rudy Guiliani, the RINO, who defends conservatives.
