Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Revenge of the 'Moderates'

Gary Bauer nails this one:

"There's something strange about that ``center'' [Christine Todd] Whitman seems to support. What exactly is she talking about? The 70% of Americans who want marriage to remain between one man and one woman, or the 28% who support homosexual ``marriage,'' as she does? Is it the 75% of Americans who oppose partial-birth abortion, or the 25% who support it, as she does? Is it the 69% of the public that wants President Bush's judges to get fair confirmation votes, or the 19% that does not? It seems that the "center" she is referring to is actually the base of the Democrat Party!"
