How is it the left can so successfully frame the issues that they pretend to be for the little guy and opposed to big business when it it the liberals on the court who ruled in favor of big business?

The left particularly targets Wal Mart and pharmaceutical companies and interestingly it is the parmaceutical company Pfizer who will benefit from the eminent domain issue in New London as they will be removing homeowners so that corporation can build an office.

If the conservatives don't make television ads and learn to better frame issues themselves, we're in big trouble. We're in trouble anyway, with this ruling.

I agree. And we have trouble framing issues and/or the message getting out via MSM.

On one blog someone posted:

Haven't you caught any of the liberal workshops on "framing" recently? There was lengthy one one C-Span not long ago and I watched it in the spirit of "know thine enemy," the way one studies the habits of a venomous snake. They're training the troops how to seize issues from "conservative control" and "frame" them from a "progressive" standpoint.

As a former advertising copywriter I saw much that was familiar to me from that medium. "Framing" is the essence of advertising -- and political propaganda. Try this Google search: "framing rockridge institute" and learn what the opposition's up to.

Well, more than two-thirds of Pfizer's contributions have went to the Republicans. And for a good reason, I might add. I don't think it's a good idea for the Republicans to start demonizing American corporations with misguided leftist rhetoric.
