A. I haven't read the book Sunshine recommends, but it looks excellent. Here's the link at Amazon: You might also try Political Communication: Rhetoric, Government, and Citizens by Dan F. Hahn. If you need something online quick, try this (it primarily deals with the relationship between political rhetoric and political violence):

Does anyone believe the political rhetoric about the "free market" anymore?
Q. Corporate welfare is still welfare. Bush is just using double speak (again) to make sure his friends get financial help. If a business fails, it's not a good business. How could republicans still say the dems are socialists with a straight face?

A. Flaw, the difference is that everyone expects democrats to bail someone out. When a democrat says they want this amount of money so this company doesnt fold, no one raises an eyebrow. This is what we expect. When a republican, such as president bush, and the rest of the republicans in congress say that 'we are all about free market... but this time, we believe in socialism' it is completely against what they run on. "Its only socialism when free markets are doing good."

Of course, when the next election comes around, that's all forgotten about anyway; and no party ever brings that fact up because they all do the same thing.
