Tea Party Takeover

The establishment GOPers created the Tea Party monster. Now they're finding it out they have to live with it. It would be funny, if it wasn't so dangerous. Tea Party insurgents are set to take control of the party machine in New Hampshire. The frontrunner walked it back some, but already is talking about litmus tests for 2012 hopefuls.

Chris Christie is beset by the right wing jihadists for daring to appoint a -- gasp -- Muslim to the bench.

In Arizona, Tea Party discontents threaten to depose Sheriff Dupnik because he dared to suggest the state has been overrun by hot-headed hooligans.

And I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure I predicted Michelle Bachman would make a play to replace Sarah as the Tea Party Barbie Doll candidate. Willing to predict now that she might succeed.

The establishment GOPers thought they were being so clever when they drummed up the anti-big gummit anger. Maybe they thought they could control the rage and direct it solely towards Democrats. They told the Tea Party, they are the majority of real 'Murkins. The TPs believe it as gospel now and demand the establishment dance to their tune. And just like in the Wild West when the mean cowboy makes the town drunk dance, these people have guns.

Anticipating the next two years are going to really horrible. But at least it will be interesting to watch the old guard GOPers have to swallow the bitter drink they brewed.
