Hekate points us to A Welsh View, a blog of current affairs from a Welsh point-of-view. There, we found a link to this graph of verbage used in Republican and Democratic convention speeches. What they actually said in their speeches was not nearly as important as the impressions that they wanted us to come away with, which, when laid out in such a manner, is pretty darned obvious.
I almost wish I could go back and watch the Republican Convention, so I can see how they worked “girlie men” into it.
