Their rhetoric does not match the reality of what they have done.

between the rhetoric here in Washington and the reality on the ground.

The reality doesn't live up to the rhetoric. Health savings accounts are only escalating this crisis by shifting the cost onto working families ? making it more difficult to access medical care and more difficult to provide for our families.

The truth is, President Bush provides the right rhetoric, but then pursues all the wrong policies.

Rhetoric . . . To which poetry would be made subsequent, or indeed rather precedent, as being less subtle and fine, but more simple, sensuous and passionate.

This shows that, despite the Democrats' rhetoric and money, they have been unable to gain ground.
