Dick Armey.. AKA Dr. Frankenstein... created the Tea Party

It was his attempt to "re-brand" the GOP.


But just like Dr. Frankenstein in the story, he lost control of the beast.


..and now the beast is turning on its creator.



The GOP has a tiger by the tail here. And they can't tame it.


In the past few months, they've inadvertantly resurrected Harry Reid (he would've lost by 10-15 points to Sue Lowden), they made the Kentucky senate race competitive (Grayson would've won by 20 points - instead, Paul is up by 7), they gave Dems a fighting chance in Colorado by selecting Buck, they turned Alaska from guaranteed GOP to lean GOP, and now they've delivered Joe Biden's old seat to the Democrats.


They created a monster. And the monster needs to eat. And it's eating its creator.

created.
