I guess I wasn’t paying attention when the definition of conservative became whatever JR and his groupies proclaimed it to be.

I also find it pathetic to see someone called “ReaganMan” violating the hell out of the Gipper’s 11th commandment.

Let me post it here for you in case you never heard of it.

JR doesn't define Giuliani as a liberal. Neither do I. The fact you consider Rooty to be a "conservative", exposes your politics to ridicule. Rooty is the anti-conservative.

LOL The so-called "11th commandment" is a fallacy. Reagan didn't create that slogan. He also didn't follow it all the time either. If you look at the 1976 GOP primary campaign between Reagan and Ford, you'd understand.

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 some mud at Reagan as unqualified to be POTUS. Ford called Reagan a cowboy. This contentious campaigning went on through the primaries and into the GOP convention. In the closet primary election phase in US history Ford beat Reagan for the nomination.

If the moderate-liberal Gerald Ford was not off limits to Reagan`s attacks, then Giuliani is not off limits to conservative attacks on his liberalism.

Frankly, I prefer my own 11th commandment. Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow conservative in good standing. Not all Republicans are conservatives.
