1. I've been using the "Frankenstein" analogy ...

(now with apologies to Shelley)

The GOP establishment created the Tea Party to rally their insane base in the hopes that the GOP's most angry, bitter, insane members would wreak havoc on democrats in a murderous rampage.

Of course like almost every version of "Dr. Frankenstein", the GOP establishment made the mistake of believing that they could in fact control and direct the actions of its monster. Like Dr. Frankenstein, they were wrong.

Faux news has cut off all attention to Tea Party rallies (which they had sponsored originally) because in 2010, sure the monster did consume many Dems, but its anger and hate also consumed some GOP establishment types. So Faux stopped feeding it, but its still hungry.

And so on Saturday, their monster broke loose in SC, and it tried to eat Mitt Romney. Mitt was severely injured, but escaped to Florida, with the Newtenstein Monster close behind.

It now looks like the Newtenstein monster has Mitt cornered, and Mitts will have to fight the monster to the death.

Win win from my perspective!!!
