Around two and a half minutes in the second part of the debate, Sen Harry Reid uses

the logical fallacy of the Slippery Slope. What he said is that without the Obamacare, things
like mammograms and colonoscopies would not be as available as it was at the time of the
debate. His statement was based on the belief that with competition, much more money than
necessary would be spent, and economy would get more frail. However, as stated by Sharon
Angle, that is not the only thing that could happen. According to her, the free market would
provide more companies offering more services, and those that offer the most and the better
exams and procedures would be strong and stable.

At the half of the third part of the debate, the discussion topic was on what should be
done with government money. Sharon Angle proposed that it should be invested in the trust
fund. Then, Sen Harry Reid opposed to that by explaining what happened when President Bush
did something similar. As she insisted on the idea, Sen Harry Reid used the rhetorical strategy
of amplification, by repeating the core of his critic and developing it even more as he made his
basis for his positioning very clear to the audience.
