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.

In which Steve continues the battle with NC hill country stubbornness


I was just responding to your previous post...


Mea culpa. I let you disintegrate my argument too far previously. I am resolved to do better.


You've got enough RINO's in both houses to annoy the crap out of conservatives.


Also irrelevant. The GOP leadership fully supports RINOs. See also Arlen Specter and Lincoln Chaffee.


I would be willing to bet that if the vote numbers supported you, they would be relevant. Ha!


Nope. You were the one who brought it up in the first place in an attempt to fragment my argument. I couldn't care less how the vote went. CFR was passed while the Congress was in the GOP's hands and it was signed into law by a Republican President with not a peep from the GOP leadership. Your claims of court cases notwithstanding, the GOP's silence on the subject was deafening.


Come on... Let's be rational here. The majority of Republicans voted against the bill... In the end, that's all they could do.


Being rational is what I'm trying to get you to do. You can't possibly believe that all they could do was vote against it. The only context in which that is true is the one in which party is more important than principle. Haven't we been here before?


I would assume you have the American flag flying upside down at your house and you're in the process of building an underground bunker.


I won't say the thought hasn't crossed my mind.
