not up to the "old and confused" rhetoric the left are using on McCain? Rhetoric is just that, and it should be dismissed out of hand when recognized. The only way to cut through BS is get rid of the rhetoric and lawyers.
rhetoric:
the art or science of all specialized literary uses of language in prose or verse, including the figures of speech.
the study of the effective use of language.
the ability to use language effectively.
the art of prose in general as opposed to verse.
the art of making persuasive speeches; oratory.
the art of influencing the thought and conduct of an audience.
So you believe that effective use of language and the ability to be persuasive in speech or writing "should be dismissed out of hand when recognized."
OK
