Using reverse accusative psychology, the Republicans attempt to smear Dems with the same actions they use, such as: accusing Obama as being dictatorial when they themselves want absolute dictatorial control, accusing Dems of robbing citizens of jobs when their record has been anti-job creation for decades, demonizing net neutrality as a gov. plot so they can control it with their propaganda, using civil rights techniques to bomb abortion clinics, claiming that their Second Amendment rights make them the victims instead of the perpetrators of weapon-related violence in the U.S., using language such as "Fair and Balanced", "Death Taxes", "Class War" and other nonsense to promote their idiot-oligies.
Dems would do well to take over the language. "Banksters", "Robber Barons", "War mongers", "Capitulators", etc.
Better yet, the Republican rumor mill can be deposed by Dems offering what they do stand for: better housing fairness, nipping Wall Street robbery in the bud, decent public schools, a meaningful public option in health care, a shut-down of Obama's wars, jobs for infrastructure financed by the government, protection of Social Security, "rights" not "entitlements", fair tax laws and more and more regulations that have real teeth not being gutted by Republicans (The Greedy Old Party) and selfish Democrats, a fair energy policy, holding the WTO, NAFTA, and the World Bank to fair practices for indigent people around the world and a clear and sensible foreign policy building schools, hospitals, infrastructure instead of guns, bombs and bullying.
