Game Over for the GOP?

The GOP are getting desperate. There doesn't seem anything left in the arsenal to prevent a substantial loss this election. Their plan is simply to attack as they have done in the past:

Republican strategist Greg Mueller, urged his party to start criticizing Democratic positions on the Iraq war, immigration and the economy according to MSNBC.

Interesting tactic. So instead of trying to help the American people, you are going to bad mouth the powerless opposition. Don't they realize that when you control all three branches, complaining about the other guys makes you sound like a bunch of cry babies? The argument is going to go down like this:

"The Democrats have no position on Iraq, immigration, or the economy."

This is highly laughable for the following reasons:
  1. We would never know the Democrat's ideas, because the corporate media would never report it.
  2. The Democrat's legislation is thrown out long before it ever comes to a vote.
  3. The Democrats have multiple solutions for each issue.
  4. Republicans have been using this lame and false argument for the past 20 years.
  5. What exactly is the Republican position again?
Republicans have capitalized on number three for way too long; claiming that somehow it justified their position on the issue at hand. History is full of tragedies caused by group think. The ultimate example being Adolph Hitler and the support he received from the German people. Was Hitler right? Were the people right to support him? Does the majority always make the right decision?

I argue group think is perhaps more dangerous than over thinking an issue. Over thinking might decrease throughput, but group think and quick decisions causes poor choices. In order to get optimal throughput and good decisions, there needs to be a balance. Right now that balance seems nonexistent.
