Below is the context of Reagan's so-called Eleventh Commandment. It's actually become generalized beyond campaigning.
The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It's a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since.
Because of this, Huckabee is something of a hit in the blogopshere, too bad it's on the wrong side of it. From the Right he's being crucified. I doubt he can be saved. Whether you're religious or not shouldn't matter. There is often wisdom in following Commandments.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Mike Huckabee, who has joked about his lack of foreign policy experience, is criticizing the Bush administration's efforts, denouncing a go-it-alone "arrogant bunker mentality" and questioning decisions on Iraq.


Stupid me. I remember the Bush Administration begging for international cooperation but I wasn't smart enough to realise that this was simply a go it alone tactic.
Funny how I also remember Bush trying desperately to work with Democrats, too. That must be the bunker mentality.

I commented earlier that once the Huckster felt comfortable with conservative support he would start to suck up to the left.
His arrogant bunker suck up mentality is starting to show.
