Despite starting on opposite sides of the political spectrum, the proposed statement that President Herbert Hoover was a conservative and President Franklin D Roosevelt was a liberal is largely accurate; evident in their policies toward dealing with the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover won the presidential election in 1928, right before the beginning of the Great Depression. Contrary to the conservative policies Hoover enforced during his presidency; Hoover’s campaign was largely focused on his more liberal ideologies, such as avoiding a laissez faire economic system and regulating business (Doc A). Hoover’s initial liberal agenda appealed to the public and helped him win in 1928. However, when the stock market crashed in 1929, President Hoover was faced with the challenges of helping the United States recover from a severe economic depression.
Mitt Romney shows if one unemployment rate percent is high, then any states unemployment can increase as well. He makes the audience wonder if there is going to be a change in America. Makes them wonder if there will be change if Obama is president for another four years. This is why the purpose of this ad is to persuade the voters that Mitt Romney is the man that can help the economy out of its slump. The campaign ad uses all three rhetorical analysis aspects like pathos, logos, and ethos with a primary focus on ethos because the ad contains statistics from the Bureau of Statistics, AAA Fuel Report, word choice, and the way his tone is calming and comforting the
“It is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for a presidential candidate you’re actually voting for a slate of electors.”(Posner) Another argument against the electoral college is that not all states are equal. The electoral college provides a minimum three electors and when some states like texas and california have 54 and 38 electors candidates for office seem to focus their attention on those states doing a majority of their campaigning there. So what right? So what he president doesn't come to your hometown and have a big rally about how they are gonna help you and help america blah blah blah.
A Nation Divided: The Affordable Care Act of 2010 “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.” -Nancy Pelosi at the 2010 legislative conference of the American Association of Counties (Holt, 2010) Making good on a 2007 campaign promise to bring about fundamental change, on March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed perhaps the most controversial health reform law in American history, the brain child of then Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), also deemed “Obamacare.” The law is designed to put all Americans under a single-payer or a universal health care
By using these specific words, Douthat is saying that the Democrats are not to be relied on or trusted. In his column, liberal Ronald Brownstein writes that demographics gave Obama the boost he needed to win the presidential election of 2012. He uses logos to demonstrate how demographics helped Obama win. He says that ever since 1992 Democrats have won the popular vote in four of the past five elections. He also writes that in
Obama voted for the AR band and McCain voted against it. They were also veiwing different sides when it came to the Heller vs. Columbia case. McCain wanted the ban on guns in D.C to be lifeted while Obama did not say a thing. McCain also voted on a bill that went against the government taking the citizens fire-arms in times of crises’s. So as you can see from where they stand Obama is a little more for Gun Control while McCain is almost completely Agenst it.
Since the first president, George Washington, took office on April 30, 1789, there have been forty-two different men chosen by the citizens of our country to lead and govern us as a nation (The White House). Though all of these men have had differences, one common ground they have all shared is their color, they have all been white. But, the 2008 presidential election forever changed our nation’s highest office, when for the first time in our country’s history, a man of color, African-American Barack Obama, was elected President of the United States. This historical induction has made the 2008 presidential election one of the most important in our nation’s history not only in terms of its racial significance, but also for many other implications it has had, and will have. This election has touched on multiple sociological issues ranging from gender, with vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, to the state and direction of our current economy (the “recession” crises), to other such sociological issues as religion, class, and even national security.
Her essay titled “Who Should Elect the President” focuses on the importance of one person, one vote. The other side of the debate is heard from Norman J Ornstein, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. His paper “No Need to Repeal the Electoral College” discusses how the Electoral College is needed in this country and what needs to be done to improve the election system. The entire debate circles around this fulcrum; should the Electoral College be abolished and a popular vote used to elect the President of the United States. Due to the recent election issues in Florida, one very important main point in this issue becomes; do the number of election crises warrant elimination the Electoral College in favor of a popular vote.
A political party is “a group of political activists who organize to win elections, operate the government, and determine public policy.” (Schmidt 244) Our nation has operated on a system of two major political parties since around 1800. The names and core values of those parties have changed several times over the years. The two major parties today, the Republicans and the Democrats, are the parties that stand a reasonable chance at winning any given elections. The Republican party is known to be conservative in both economic and moral issues. This party would prefer to limit social services and emphasize one's ability to be responsible for their own finances.
