Remember it was New Gingrich who introduced NLP techniques into the Repub talking points in the 90s, but it was entirely negative associations.

The establishment Repubs are starting to break away from this conditioning in a small way, but the tea partiers are too far gone, it seems that they can't snap out of it, and are stuck in a circle of negativity.

BTW I fully expect Glenn Beck to steal this opinion, flip it round and project it onto liberals. That's an aspect of Rovian spin: it's omnivorous in that it can take any idea and use it against its adversaries.
