Will Jeb Bush, Huckabee, McCain, Ayotte, Graham, King, Etc, Adhere To Reagan's 11th Commandment?

That is what it has now come down to. Will they (and others of a similar persuasion) hold to this commandment - or not?

Time to choose...

I’d say people should be limited to one vanity per day.

In their view, only moderates should not be criticized. Conservatives are fair game. This is how it’s always been. They will not “restrain” (Jeb Bush’s words) themselves until all conservative oppostion is removed or coopted.

No. Next question.

If you feel that way, why did you post here? No one forced you to, but thanks for the attempt to digress.

Don’t you have some beans to count?

You asked in your comment #2, and I answered. Harden up.

I’d tell you the same thing I told you on your other thread a few minutes ago. What’s the matter? Didn’t you get enough people there to agree with you?

Put it this way. For years now RINOs have been telling us to forget Reagan; we'll never have another one so fuggitaboudit; stop living in the past...

I don't think today's GOP gives a rat's @$$ about the Reagan Doctorine. They simply want the booze, the girls, the power, the decadence. Scroo America, the Founders, and Americans in general.

The rule says Republicans should not speak ill of other Republicans. It doesn't proscribe Statists from speaking ill of Republicans and that crowd are definitely Statists.

Harden up. Nice ad hominem there.

But your answer did nothing to faciltate the discussion, and there was no need for you to answer the way that you did. And I doubt that I would have had to ask that question for you to come on here and say what you said, given your title “1rudeboy.”

You are a troll. Your statements reflect that, and you are helping the RINOs here at FR in the process, but thanks for outing yoursaelf. Everyone here will know what you are about from now on, and I will repeatedly remind people here of that on my threads and on others threads.

No, Reagan Did Not Author the Republican’s 11th Commandment
By KITTY BENNETT
As the voting in Iowa draws closer, Republican candidates have sharpened their attacks on each other, drawing a rebuke of sorts from Fox News moderator Bret Baier last night at their debate.

“Ronald Reagan famously espoused the 11th commandment, thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican,” he said. “Yet to varying degrees during this campaign, you’ve all broken that one way or another, broken that vow.”

Neatly sidestepping the question of his own attacks on other candidates, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas responded by questioning the origins of the commandment: “Yeah. There’s an — matter of fact, I think that was the Republican chairman, not Ronald Reagan, that actually said that.”

And he is right.

It was during Ronald Reagan’s first campaign, for California governor in 1965, that the State Republican Party chairman Gaylord B. Parkinson issued his “11th Commandment,” which said, “Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican.” And, Mr. Parkinson warned, “Henceforth, if any Republican has a grievance against another, that grievance is not to be bared publicly.”

Now quit yer damn bickering

What purpose does it serve for you (or anyone else) to go on a thread and make comments like you are making here?

It serves no purpose other than to cause people to divert away from taking it to the ones in the GOP who are hammering Tea Partiers, and that is what we need to focus on, not yours and 1rudeboy’s digressions and red herrings.

Stay on target... The RINOs in the GOP. Focus on them, or go back to your bean counting.

The purpose it serves is that it reminds you that you have no special privilege here to tell anyone anything, especially when it says to “shut up.”

You tried it on one thread and got it handed back to you and then you tried a different avenue of disinformation and persuasion - all based on RR. I think you’re the one that needs to shut up and go back to bean counting, sir.

No one asked you to come on this thread, RINO-protector, for that is why you are resorting to posts like this. We know the history of what Reagan said. It has been coined as his phrase, “Reagan’s 11th commandment.”

Point is, is that Reagan said that he adhered to it in his goverenor’s race, and kept to it afterwards.

Now, do the same. No attacking fellow Republicans (what you are doing on this thread).

No attacking feelow Repubs. NOW. GOT IT? Now that you know what you have been instructed to do, you will go and do it. Have a good one.

Simple logic applies here, the people that are doing the criticizing: McCain, Rubio, McConnell, Graham, King, Ayotte, et. al. are not real Republicans. That is the issue, they are party infiltrators.
