Ronald Reagan was also once a Dem . Past is past sometimes. He also said “11th commandment-—Never speak ill of another Republican”... “somebody who agrees with you 80% of the time is an 80% friend not a 20% enemy.”

You're mis-using the first quote from Reagan. That only applied in the General Election. Reagan was one of the most voiciferous of conservatives against what we call RINOs during the Primaries. There are several quotes out there, once again use the search function if you don't believe me, that prove this.

Secondly, Romney does not agree with conservatives on 80% of the issues proven by his lack of small-government credentials and his socialist tendencies. For prove, All I have to mention is his socialist RomneyCare.

Even though he didn't create that slogan, the spirit of the 11th commandment resided inside Ronald Reagan. While it was a rule Reagan followed, he didn't demand anyone else follow it.

Not criticizing or attacking your political opponent could cost you the election.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. 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."~~~ President Ronald Reagan

When you abandon conservatism and embrace *moderatism*, liberalism wins.
