Isn't it only rhetoric(I am assuming your definiton of rhetoric) because it directly opposes your political alignment? Try and learn to be a little more tolerant of other's views. This is a 'political debating' site. Not a 'forcing party affiliation on others' site.

Also, if you were refering to the P.D.A. link, I have learned people want proof and, or, more info.

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
