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: Howard Dean Calls for End to Divisiveness


Dean also attacked the president on national defense, health care, education and Social Security.

"He is bankrupting the middle-class," Dean said.


I always find myself wondering if people like Dean actually believe some of the things they say.

The Democrats have a 60 year history of bankrupting the middle-class, who they always tend to portray as "rich." Dean himself spews rhetoric that Democrats need to return to their core values. We can only assume that means escalation of their redistributionist ways.

Does Dean get up in the morning and ask himself what stupid, hypocritical thing he is going to say in public today? I doubt it. Sadly, Dean's best customer for the poison he's selling is himself.
