RINOPLASTY
\n\u201cIf you don\u2019t want your votes cast in vain,
\nThen wash Newt, Rick, and Ron down the drain;
\nAccept candidate Romney
\nAs the mandated nominee:
\nBe consoled with a clone of McCain!\u201d<\/p>\n

From the archive:<\/em><\/p>\n

TEATOTALERS
\nHaving taken it on the chin,
\nAll the RINOs are packing it in:
\nThey\u2019d rather abstain
\nThan actively deign
\nTo help Tea Party candidates win.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
\nHaving rendered himself indistinct,
\nA Republican candidate finked,
\nAnd we now can take Crist
\nOff the endangered list,
\n\u2018Cause this RINO\u2019s already extinct.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

CONSERVATIVE BENT
\nWhat began as an ill-advised craze
\nTo authenticate \u201ctolerant\u201d ways
\nHas got way out of hand
\nAnd now needs to be banned:
\nThe Republican courting of \u201cgays.\u201d
\n(2006)<\/p>\n

BIG TENT
\nThough we don\u2019t want to alienate our core,
\nWe are anxious to add even more;
\nSo, to make greater strides,
\nWe\u2019ll appeal to both sides
\nAnd oppose all the things that we\u2019re for.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

OATHBUSTER
\nWhen he swore, did Obama intend
\nTo preserve and protect and defend?
\nWere his motives all wrong,
\nDid he plan all along
\nTo presume and project and upend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
