Frankenstein's Monster is loose, and it ate Mitt Romney in SC. [View all]

The GOP establishment created the Tea Party monster. Its a loud, angry, bitter, hungry monster.

The GOP had been keeping its monster on a short leash, no Fox News sponsored protests rallies ... they sidelined Glenn Beck.

They were able to distract the monster in Iowa with lots of shinny objects like Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, and even Paul.

But the monster got loose in SC, and it ate Mitt Romney.

It will be fun to watch the GOP establishment try to capture its monster and chain it up so that it can't get loose in Florida.

go Newt!!!
