I believe is the phrase that so very accurately describes the GOTP right now.
And I for one, am enjoying watching them self destruct.

(1,249 posts)1. I'll bump this thread
for the use of the expression "hoist by their own petard", which is a great expression especially when it can be applied to tp/repukes.
(I'm enjoying this too, except for concern for the innocent bystanders getting caught in the fallout.)

Grand Old Tea Party. This is great. It links the Baggers to the GOPee! I'm getting tired of seeing the "tea party" treated as though it's a separate entity. We can't let people forget that every bagger was elected on the GOPee ticket.
