Don't you just love how politicians in both parties use rhetorical fallacies to trick us into overlooking important information. in the democratic debate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used rhetorical fallacies a decent amount. at one point during the debate she stated " I never took a position on Keystone until I took a position on Keystone" in this quote she went back on what she had just said, this was probably done to make both the people who oppose the keystone pipeline and keystone happy. This use of rhetoric really caught my eye because it made no sense almost as if clinton wanted attention drawn to it. But did her rhetoric work? Well maybe, because it hasn't really been talked about, many people are just ignoring it entirely or people are genuinely feel for the rhetoric. it is interesting to see how politicians of any position or party use rhetoric, but sometimes it stands out more than others.
