Quote

President Bush has consistently used rhetoric, and that is not convincing given his past record.

I am a plain man, and I care and know comparatively little about rhetoric.

Facts are not liberals' strong suit. Rhetoric is.

There comes a time when what is needed is not just rhetoric, but boots on the ground.

I'm not really a Democrat or a Republican, but I don't like rhetoric.

Political rhetoric leads only to confusion.

Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.

Rhetoric and dialectics can't change what I have learned from observation and experience.

The facts are always friendly, every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true.

Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion. This is not a function of any other art.
