If you always do what you've always done...

Here's a quote from an online NY Times article today about how the Republicans are now thinking of trying out the word "fascist" against President Obama, since "socialist" doesn't seem to be getting much traction: “They’re trying to figure out how to oppose a relatively popular president during an economic emergency,” said Robert Kuttner, co-editor of The American Prospect, dismissing the fascism charge. “That’s not an easy thing to do.”

It's amazing how utterly clueless you Republicans are. There's an old axiom in management that goes: If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got.

Maybe what's needed for you to get back into the mainstream of American politics is not to "oppose" anything and everything Mr. Obama does, which seems to be the essence of the Republican strategy these days. A strategy that doesn't seem to be working very well, does it? And you think becoming even more rhetorically hysterical is going to change things?

Here's a radical idea: Try cooperating for a change. Try helping instead of hindering. Try collaborating instead of confronting. Who knows, you might be surprised.
