Especially in the past few weeks I have found myself using Rhetoric. This is mainly due to the Presidential election. I remember having numerous conversations about who I think the next President should be. I tryed to convince everybody I spoke with to vote for McCain. I used words like experience, patriotic, and dedication. It is amazing how you use rhetoric in allmost all of your conversations, and you dont even realize that you are doing it. In some circunstances I convinced many people towards McCains side and in many other instances I did not.

Give an example or two of a time when you were consciously making "rhetorical" decisions with the purpose of influencing or directing (or manipulating -- gasp!) an outcome.
