Levin reads 8 rules for RINOs (ADDENDUM: McConnell)

Befitting of what the not-so-opposition party has become...

CR: It becomes clearer every day that there are not only two parties in Washington, D.C., but there are also two wings of the Republican Party. Conservatives who fight for limited government, fewer taxes, less regulation, more freedom, devolving federal power to the states, prudent immigration, and constitutional principles.

The other wing?

Whether you call them RINOs (Republican In Name Only), liberal Republicans or the Establishment, for them, it’s all about retaining the power that comes from working their well-established connections around “town.”

Some have raised the question, ‘You don’t really think that these members want to help/support/defend Obama’s agenda and policies – do you?’

Hopefully not, but their actions seem to align a lot closer with liberals than conservatives on many issues, so it’s hard to say.
Continue reading this piece to learn of the 8 RINO rules that guide these liberals Republicans. Levin previously encapsulated what's going on with the surrender caucus...
On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Republican Senators are prepared to surrender in the face of victory over President Obama's amnesty. They're being led by Sen. Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and others that don't represent the Republicans but only themselves. Any Republican Senator that votes for funding the DHS, with the amnesty spending, is voting to undermine the Constitution and separation of government powers.
ADDENDUM: Referencing the above 8 rules, it's evident that McConnell uses Reid tricks against conservatives...
CR: In the last two years there have been two major attempts by conservatives to defund catastrophic policies. One attempt was Obamacare in October of 2013 and the other attempt was executive amnesty this week.

In both attempts, the Republican House-passed bills were amended in the Senate to reinstate funding for Obamacare and executive amnesty. ...

In both attempts the exact same parliamentary tricks were used to reinstate funding. In the Obamacare fight it was liberal Harry Reid using the trick to reinstate Obamacare funding. In the executive amnesty fight it was newly elected Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who today used the exact same parliamentary trick to reinstate funding for Obama’s executive amnesty with 51 votes instead of 60.

The only difference was one majority leader was labeled Republican and the other labeled Democrat, but they both took the exact same course of action to restore funding for a major Obama priority that will change our country forever.

At some point between now and last November, Mitch McConnell woke up one morning, stared into the mirror and had to admit he lied. He lied that a Republican Congress, specifically a Republican Senate, would act to stop Obama’s executive amnesty. ...

Now that McConnell is Majority Leader and no longer needs voters his tune has changed. What we have here is classic evidence of RINO Rules #1 and #8, Bait-&-Switch and Preemptive Surrender.
