Western Europeans are not socialists. This is the mistake that McCain/Palin made during the election.

Using scare words like "socialist" or "communist" just get people to tune out from the message.

We need to talk about our moderate welfare state versus Europe's overarching welfare state.

I know its not that jazzy as hyping up fears of socialism, but it is closer to the truth and I believe more effective in the long run.

We need to have a series of commercials similar to John Stossel's comparison of life in Europe vs. life in America: we have bigger homes, cars, fridges, washers, etc. We are living larger than them with more employment, etc. I believe that would be a more effective message in the long run.
