Presidential Debate Logical Fallicies

First of all I think that Obama won this debate because he answered all of his questions and Romney just talked around some of his questions.

Throughout the debate argument ad numeron was being used constantly because both the President and Romney kept going to numbers to help support there statements.
Verecundiam is also used and the example used is when President Obama told Romney that he does not have power to make war decisions.
Circulus in Demonstrando was also used and an example was during the beginning of the debate and both President Obama and Romney kept going back and forth about Iraq and they were getting nowhere with that topic.



I am in a group with Whitney Houg Sarah Stevens, Ethan Clardy, and Connor Albright.

Vocab #8

1.Flout-Openly disregard
These same companies still flout basic ethical practices.

2.Caveat-A warning
People get one caveat and then get kicked out for doing it again.

3.Blazon-Display vividly
The decorations were blazon.
