n.

A political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite.
B The movement organized around this philosophy.

The Republicans don't frame economic issues as economic issues, they phrase them in moral terms. That's how they get people to support economic policies that don't benefit them.

That isnt even remotely true. The republicans frame economic issues as economic issues. They sell tax cuts as giving working people more money. They sell cafta as free market reform that will stimulate the economy. They sell thier policies as the right way to create jobs. They sell social security reform as the only way to protect benefits.

They do sell economic issues in economic terms, all the time. I really cant see where you are coming from here.
