Sarah Palin takes to Facebook to compare the Republican party to a dead moose. Whose side is she on again?

Photo of Todd Palin raping a carcass. Compared to his wife, probably not that much different.

This from the the Screeching She-Devil's Facebook page:

Yeah. Todd bagged a moose. Dinner. Appropriate to remind folks in the GOP establishment that the progressive Bull Moose Party also met its demise - in no small part because of some liberal positions it co-opted from the left.

Hold on there little miss "lack of reading comprehension."

While it may be true that the Bull Moose party was made up of former President Teddy Roosevelt's supporters who did not agree with the more conservative direction that the Republican party was taking, it was NOT the establishment party. It was a faction that split from the party leadership and attempted to run as a third party in 1912 against both the Republican nominee, William Howard Taft, and the Democrat nominee, Woodrow Wilson.

In the end Roosevelt managed to split the Republican vote, which allowed the Democrat, Wilson, to win.

That scenario does not match the metaphor of Palin's Facebook post.

To be more accurate, the Bull Moose Party, though considered more progressive, would be more representative of the insurgent Tea Party group of today, which, though more conservative than the establishment Republicans, is currently battling them for control, just like Roosevelt and his supporters did back in 1912.

So if history were to repeat itself, that would mean that a Tea Party candidate may inject themselves into the 2016 race against the Republican candidate, and Hillary Clinton.

So in that more honest scenario, which is the political party that suffers a crushing defeat and then dissolves after losing virtually all of its support?

The Republican party? Or the Teabaggers?

Need a hint? Like to use one of your lifelines? Perhaps phone a friend?
