Mitt Romney Speech Analyse
Mitt Romney’s speech to the Republican ConventionThis assignment will analyze Mitt Romney’s address to the Republican National Convention.Mitt Romney serves as governor of Massachusetts. Mitt Romney is the Republican Party’s nominee for President of the United States of America in the election 2012.
To give an overview of Mitt Romney’s speech I’ve put the speech into the Rhetorical Pentagon.
The topic of Mitt Romney’s speech is his accept of the nomination for President and his address to how he is going to handle being President of the United States of America if he gets elected. The writer of Mitt Romney’s speech is Mitt Romney, but properly not without help from a spin doctor, helping Mitt Romney look better and appeal more to the American people. The language in the speech formal, but not so much that the average American can’t understand. The speech is given under the circumstances there is set by the election and the pressure that comes with the situation.The receiver of Mitt Romney’s speech is the American people, especially the Americans that voted for Barack Obama in the last election. Mitt Romney’s intention with his speech is getting elected as President of the United States of America, and win over the American people.
The fact that Mitt Romney is a new name to a lot of Americans means that a big part of the speech has to present himself to those Americans in the best possible way. Mitt Romney uses repetition in his speech to underline the important things in his speech. “Now is the moment when we can stand up and say,” I’m an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better. My country deserves better! So here we stand. Americans have a choice. A decision” [1] By the use of repeating the word “my”, Mitt Romney appeals to the individual American, their national feeling and their most treasured matters, their families. Mitt Romney refers to some of the biggest accomplishments Americans have

    Some examples of fallacies in this speech came about immediately in the beginning. Candidate Kane said “With one purpose only, to point out and make public the dishonesty, the downright villainy of Jim W Getty’s political machine.” Using this kind of fallacy put negativity in the audience’s mind about Getty. When the announcer welcomes Kane onto the stage he uses bias by announcing Kane as the next Governor of the state even before he was elected or won. Kane uses a rhetorical device when he says that he made no campaign promises so he has a chance at winning and he now can make them. He then proceeds to argue how Getty has less than a chance and he supports this by stating that every vote and independent poll shows that he will be elected. Kane’s argument was valid because it had everything to do with the upcoming election and it made a valid point. His argument is also strong because he used facts and the result of actual poll’s to support his conclusion.…

    In the opening paragraph of Bush’s address he uses pathos the most and he does very effectively. A great example is when he put together the words “victims”,”moms and dads”, and “friends and neighbors”. He also uses the phrases “mass murders” and ‘attack” to make you feel scared. His creative usage of “our” as a pathos and ethos saying it 5 times makes us think that he is apart of the people and he lost apart of him too that day like…

    Although his oratorical skills may not be up to par with those of his Democratic counterpart, Romney delivered an effective speech during the Republican National Convention mainly due to his appeal to a wide audience’s emotions, or pathos. Romney demonstrated humility during the beginning of his speech, as he gave a brief autobiography of his life growing up. Romney mentioned, “My friends did not judge me by what church I attended, but, rather, what sports I followed.” This was a clear representation of religious freedom. Romney wanted Americans to feel secure no matter what religion they practiced or what God they worshipped. He spoke of promise, as well. “Now is the time to restore the promise of America… My promise is to help you and your family”, he declared. These telegraphic sentences educed a sense of patriotism from his audience. In this time of disarray, Americans need to feel this sense of pride to restore…

    The first thing to say is that the man is clearly labouring under a heavy misconception. Romney is faced with a country that is trending demographically towards his opponents, an economy that it is recovering solidly under Democrat stewardship, and an electorate that has already rejected him twice (he also ran in 2008, when he failed to even secure the Republican nomination) – only a spectacular degree of misunderstanding can possibly have convinced him that this is his moment. But maybe the more interesting question is that of why this misconception persists – why is it that Mitt Romney feels entitled, or even destined, to one day be President?…

    4. The two presidential candidates have two distinct viewpoints on many different issues including the economy, healthcare, how to fix the deficit and debt, and how to handle immigration. Romney believes that the economy should be fixed through his five point plan; he believes that healthcare should be determined by the states and not the federal government, and he believes in self-deportation to handle illegal immigration.…

    Reasoning is a process we go through everyday. We reason weather we chose to eat an apple rather than a banana or if we should take the bus or walk. During the elections the American people seek reasoning on both sides: from themselves and from the candidates. The candidates for the election, Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama both interpret as much reasoning behind each argument to make it seem as realistic and achievable to the people. The voters apply reasoning to the arguments and plans put forward by the candidates to see which one seems to be most beneficial for their own interest as well as the interest of their families and that of the American population. In the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney was a key figure and was according to most Americans the dominant figure in the debate. He had…

    Yahoo News’ Senior Political Reporter Holly Bailey wrote an article after the first presidential debate about Mitt Romney. Unlike most articles about Romney’s lopsided win over President Obama Bailey’s article is about how Mitt Romney is showing a different side to voters. Mitt Romney has always been given the unfair classification of a aloof rich guy who enjoys politics as a side hobby. But in this article Bailey references how Romney is trying to show a softer side to himself. Ann Romney speaks about how her husband does not show the “real” Mitt and is trying to change this so that voters can relate more with him and see that he cares. With the election about a month away, Mitt Romney is doing all he can to show voters through personal stories and his demeanor that he cares about the American people. (Bailey, 2012). Through this article we can see a small view of how the candidates have a purpose for everything they do and in response to this we must be immune to emotional voting and instead vote on values.…

    Barack Obama was re-elected for a second term as president of the United States on November the 7th 2012, by beating Mitt Romney despite dissatisfaction with the way he handled the economy. Before this particular outcome of the election, Obama made some remarks at a Campaign Event in Denver, Colorado. These remarks were among many other initiatives established by Obama to persuade the American people to vote for him. In order to reach this goal, he uses modes of appeal and rhetorical features, which I will clarify and shed light over in my rhetorical analysis of his speech by providing examples and explanations.…

These key terms Toulmin highlights as vital to the process of rethoric when applying the theory of his model. The claim, the support, and the warrant are what Toulmin emphasizes as essential. When applying these critical elements of rhetoric theory to a speech, such as one recently given by presidential candidate Mitt Romney. One should be able to isolate the claim, the support, and the warrant found within his speech.

Romney’s speech vis-à-vis the decline of the American education system supplies magnificent examples and illustrations used to harness the core developments and applications of the Toulmin Model. Rhetoric implications generated by Stephen Toulmin renders one’s ability to become familiar with the evaluative process.…
