Leap of faith
This article talks about the rise of Michele Bachmann from a avid Tea Party Insurgent to a Republican contender in the 2012 Presidential race. Bachmann is a 2 term member of Congress and is supportive of the Christian-conservative movement. She has rapidly risen in the polls which is based on her collection of right-wing convictions, resentments and beliefs that she's broad-casted since 2006. She also has a way of saying something offensive or super outrageous and then looks back on it with a cheerful and carefree remark of explaining it.
The whole point of this article is to show how Bachmann is part of a generation of Christian conservatives whose views are much different from most secular Americans and even a lot of Christan's. Her campaign uses a set of beliefs differing greatly and more extreme than another other American politician she is compared to.
This is a pretty interesting article about a remarkable women changing party's. From a radical Tea Party to a conservative Christian Republican, this article really shows you the changes in todays society. The author uses plenty of syntax, tone, figures of speech (sentence structure in that) as well as connotations and mood. They use a narrative technique like POV, voice, order of events following her campaign and changes as well as frame story, dialogue and formal diction. The rhetorical structure is more descriptive than anything.
