http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80399.html

John McCain, who ran for president almost 4 years ago, gave his speech at the Republican National Convention August 28, 2012 in Tampa, Fl. He begins his speech by saying he wishes he could be in a different position. Implying his desire to still be president. However he did all he could do and was supporting Mitt Romney in his nomination. He presents the many reasons America is dealing with trouble, and the solution to this problem electing Mitt Romney. He has been through this before and is a reliable source to know the pressures and issues we are faced with. Not only Americas problems but the conflicts we have with our allies. McCain has been through these issues before and made plans to do with them. He also uses pathos to show voters the trouble America is facing and it is time to put a republican back in power.

Essay 2 body paragraph

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80398_Page2.html

Rand Paul thinks that Obamacare is unconstitutional and that even the father of the constitution would agree with him. He feels that the debate is not new and probably will never be over any time soon. He talks about how Hamilton and Madison fought from the beginning about how the government would be limited by the enumerated powers (his words). He feels the federal governments powers are few and defined. For example the power to tax and spend is restricted by the enumerated powers. He feels the only way to fix the problem is to have a new president.

Scarlett Johansson Speech

            Johansson starts right off the bat discussing how she realizes being in Hollywood and being a celebrity doesn’t make her one vote any different than anyone else’s. Realizing that she has lived an average life compared to certain class areas she believes everyone should vote. No matter their financial situation. She appeals to pathos when discussing her own back round and how she saw how amazing voting was in the eyes of a child. She them addresses the situation that last year in the age group of 18-24 year old, less than half voted. She encourages everyone to vote no matter his or her own political view. It is their own personal right and privilege. It’s almost illogical not too.
