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.

Re: Re: From the Oct. 20th edition of The Stokes News...

Actually, I enjoyed the letter.

Steve, so I guess I can assume that you think it's okay to make a campaign promise and then break it? Or maybe I can't, since you really didn't do anything in your response except criticize the letter’s author. Judging from this and various other tirades regarding Mr. Carroll, you obviously have some sort of personal problem with him. I urge you to resolve your anger before you blow a gasket. Maybe you should challenge him to a WWE-style cage match, paper-rock-scissors, a spelling bee — whatever — and just put this all behind you.

By the way, why would anybody change their party affiliation from Republican if they're running in Stokes County? In the last election, the Stokes Democrats had some of their best candidates ever, and they still lost. It's my personal opinion that Stokes voters look for the letter R on the ballot, not the names before them.
