Republicans often demonize liberals as "Commies" and "socialists" because of their support for social programs and liberals blindly accept that label when it holds equally true for Republicans. Its time to GET ON THE OFFENSIVE.
For example, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) is a corporation which is wholly-owned by the U.S government, therefore it is a foray into socialism. The purpose of this corporation is to FORCE WORKING AMERICANS TO UNDERWRITE THE EXPORTATION OF THEIR OWN JOBS. Just as the Dems got to the right on the U.A.E. port security issue, the DEMS can present themselves as CHAMPIONS OF THE MARKETPLACE BY raising the privatization of OPIC and watch as the GOP DEFENDS SOCIALISM, that is, they will support the mission of OPIC to put U.S. citizens on the line. IF YOU PRIVATIZE THE GAINS, PRIVATIZE THE RISK!
