Political Rhetoric In Boca

As explained in "Thank You For Arguing" politicians manipulate rhetoric all the time in order to convince their audience. We can see this in the Presidential Debate that took place in Lynn University on October 22, 2012. Here are examples of logos, ethos, and pathos as well as of demonstrative, forensic, and deliberative rhetoric:

Ethos: 

"We ended the war in Iraq, we focused our attention on those who actually killed us on 9/11." 

-President Obama 

"I and Americans took leadership in organizing an International Coalition."

-President Obama 

Pathos: 

"Attacking me is not talking about how we're going to help the Middle East."
-Mitt Romney

"We want people to have peaceful lives, which they can enjoy."
-Mitt Romney

Logos:  

"In nowhere in the world was America's influence as great as it was 4 years ago."
-Mitt Romney

"America remains the strongest indispensable nation."
-President Obama 

"We're 9 million jobs short of that." 

Demonstrative: 


"I was proud that our students came out number one in both english and math."
-Mitt Romney

-"We kept out schools number one in the nation."
-Mitt Romney

Forensic: 

"The policies that you're promoting don't help small businesses."
-President Obama

-We do it by reducing spending and number one is removing Obama Care."
Mitt Romney

Deliberative: 

"We are going to have North American independent sources of energy."
-Mitt Romney

-"We have got to champion small businesses where jobs come from."
-Mitt Romney
