5. It is and it isn't the Republicans.

It isn't the Republicans as much as it's the minority sub-political party, the Tea Party.

Cross-eyed.. beady eyed.. pale white skin.. high forehead... inbred for generations.

Then add in Jesus Juice and you get Michelle Bachman ( cross eyed with frizzy hair).

Stir well and add a touch of bat-shit crazy.. and you get bald, pointy-head pRick Scott.

The perfect Tea Party Candidate stepped out of the movie "Deliverance", and walked into the movie "Night of The Living Dead".
