You mention the 11th commandment to attack a republican, in a post about another campaign attacking a fellow republican, and you DON’T see how that’s a bit hypocritical?
It is one thing to rebut another Republican's positions or to criticize him for his actions. It is another thing to smear him personally.
You may see it as a distinction without a difference, but from my point of view, Reagan's 11th Commandment is a bar on personal attacks and smears. It does not mean we should permit bad behavior.
I model the appropriate relationship amongst Republicans on a well-functioning family. When one family member messes up, it is completely appropriate for the other family members to tell him he is messing up and to help him correct his behavior through constructive criticism. It is not appropriate to berate and belittle that family member out of anger or spite, and certainly not appropriate to go bad-mouthing him to the neighbors.
I am not saying the Mitt Romney is a bad person or would be a bad President. If he were the Republican nominee, I would vote for him over any Democrat in the field. But I do not condone sleazy practices like running the Phony Fred web-site at arm's length. We all make mistakes. Mitt Romney should be careful not to make this one again.
