Reprising an old joke: What do you get when you cross an elephant and a RINO…

Corker, McCain, et al, join Harry Reid and promote the Democrat plan to implement ObamaCare
They don’t even try to hide it anymore. If ever you doubted me when I kept writing that we’re living in what is essentially a one-party system camouflaging itself as a representative republic, the Constitution a mere prop to be pulled out when needed and bracketed when it interferes with the designs of federal expansionists, now’s the time to apologize — if not to me, than at least to yourselves
Today the masks drop
Any Republican Senator who votes for cloture — that is, who votes to allow Harry Reid to strip the defunding measures for ObamaCare out of the House CR so that it can pass “cleanly” with no amendments and a simple majority vote, which Senate Democrats already have — is effectively and in fact voting affirmatively to fund ObamaCare.

Who do these obvious teabagging hobbits think they are with their so-called freedom of choice to eat an free-range carrot? [Darleen Click]
Shut’em down, shut’em down now Folks in the Big Apple are illegally eating things! The CBS affiliate in New York City today uncovered the scary, secret world of illegal, underground dinner parties. No, this is not a joke or a parody, though it will really feel like one for the first few seconds of the clip. The news casters treat this situation with the same slightly amazed and shocked tone
Obama: my signature legislation is here to stay
Though not of course for politicians and their staffers, nor for Obama’s chosen cronies. Some pigs being more equal than others. So you may as well get used to bending over and taking it, subjects: Declaring that the “Affordable Care Act is here to stay,” President Obama on Thursday urged Americans to ignore Republican misgivings about his signature legislative achievement just five days before the launch of open enrollment
a CITIZEN JOURNALIST responds to the critics of Ted Cruz
If you don’t mind a tiny bit of constructive criticism, let me remind you that the McCain / Romney presidencies never really went as planned. Similarly, the decision to balk at the very constituency that brought you to power in the House has, as you know, not given you the kind of positive press from the left-leaning legacy media that you expected it might. Which is all just a very
I’m going to say it because nobody else will: John McCain is a traitor
Not just, as Mark Levin noted last evening, a “useful idiot” for the left, but an actual traitor — a man who runs his campaigns lurching to the right only to return to the Senate and cast his lot, intentionally and in a way that was pre-planned, with Senators Reid, Durbin, and Schumer, three of the most anti-constitutional, cynical, and reprehensible Senators in the once august body. Who, because they
I’m not sure how to feel about this:
On the one hand, if you’re Chris Christie and you’ve lost Meghan McCain, that would augur problems down the road for your national political ambitions. On the other hand, if you’re Chris Christie and Meghan McCain won’t support you, it’s almost a conservative law that we constitutionalists must give him another look. The formulation is simple: if Meghan McCain likes X, then Y is the correct choice; if Meghan McCain
“The Real Fake Filibuster”
Harry Reid corrected Sen Ted Cruz this morning, noting that what he’s engaged in is “not a filibuster.” Immediately on Twitter, our socialist friend Tawny Fawn parroted that remark. And yet, as Charles Cooke points out at NRO: Is it a filibuster or not? Apparently this depends on who is speaking. In 2010, socialist senator Bernie Sanders performed precisely the same trick that Ted Cruz has over the past twenty-plus
