This violates Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.”

For all we know, you could be shilling for MoveOn.org or George Soros.

You can talk up other Republicans without tearing one down... leave that for the drive-by media.

Guess I’m not the only one who has some questions about this mysterious situation.

Which is a falsehood, given that Reagan ran and almost defeated the GOP incumbent in 1976.

You’re on the wrong thread. I could be Godzilla, seriously. Would that matter to you?

See Post #53 and well as Post #88 and maybe you'll start to get a clue about why you're post is so wrong.

Also, read some more of what Reagan said not just the too oft-repeated 11th commandment stuff:

"We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all."
--Ronald Reagan, 1965

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way."
-- Ronald Reagan, March 1, 1975

Did Ronald Reagan have anything to say about Republican men coming to the convention in pumps and dresses?

— Ronald Reagan, March 1, 1975

“Let us lay to rest, once and for all, the myth of a small group of ideological purists trying to capture a majority.
Replace it with the reality of a majority trying to assert
its rights against the tyranny of powerful academics, fashionable left-revolutionaries, some economic illiterates who happen to hold elective office and the social engineers who dominate the dialogue and set the format in political and social affairs. If there is any ideological fanaticism in American political life, it is to be found
among the enemies of freedom on the left or right — those who would sacrifice principle to theory, those who worship only the god of political, social and economic abstractions, ignoring the realities of everyday life. They are not conservatives.”
