Read everything you can by George Lakoff.

This is old, but well worth the read.

Framing the issues: UC Berkeley professor George Lakoff tells how conservatives use language to dominate politics

http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/10/27_lakoff.shtml

Keep in mind the Rockridge Institute mentioned failed for lack of funding. Republicans don't have that problem.

This book is exceptional:

"Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate"
