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.

Let's win this thing...

Strother -> "You completely missed my point and misread my post, but I'm really not surprised. You're simply drunk on party-line punch, and your inebriation prohibits you from recognizing faults within your own team (and the evenly distributed absurdity of American politics in general). If you happen to have a sober moment any time soon, go back and re-read what I actually said. It might make some sense to you then."

I responded to what you wrote; nothing more, nothing less. Maybe you were drunk from your party-line punch when you babbled on that post like you usually do.

-> "In your mind regarding party affiliation, Republicans will be virtuous and Democrats will be evil. On that note (and speaking of dream worlds), maybe it is true that most people dream in black and white."

Terrorists, jihadists, dictators, child killers are evil; the Democrat Party as a whole are just clueless.

-> "Regardless of what you've been led to believe (and what an increasing amount of Americans are finally figuring out), the war in Iraq still has nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden, no matter how many times you and others mention it alongside his infamous name."

Actually, the leadership in al Qaeda has said that the War in Iraq is their central front in their holy jihad. That's why they are trying to recruit members to come to Iraq to defeat the US.

-> "He's probably thrilled that the US is spending all that time, money, and manpower there rather than on finding him."

If he's dead, then he's not thinking anything; if he's alive, he's thinking how good he had it when Clinton was in charge.

-> "Plus, terrorists like Bin Laden are happy to use the whole 'American occupation of Iraq' slant to recruit more nutjobs to join their ranks. Yeah, lots of good we're doing in Iraq, Tanya."

So you believe appeasing terrorists will stop al Qaeda from recruiting more terrorists; we did that during the 90's and we ended up getting 9/11.

-> "The war is a waste of time, effort, tax dollars, and lives (not necessarily in that order), all of which could be utilized in ways to better address the real issues regarding potential terrorism on US soil."

Do you want us to win in Iraq or not? We're there; let's win the d**n thing and then we can get out. The jihadists know they can't beat us on the battlefield; they do know they can defeat us at home with this battle of wills we are having. They hope that with every attack in Iraq, people like you will rise up here in America and throw in the white towel. You're a quitter; I'm not and this country's not.

-> "Your beloved Republican president decided to fight the War on Terrorism by invading Iraq. It was a mistake. 'Staying the course' when the course was based on a mistake is a mistake. One could even argue that staying the course determined by a mistake is insane."

This is why I say the Democrat Party as a whole doesn't want us to win in Iraq. You would rather have Bush be defeated than for us to win. You prove my point when I said, "Bad news for America is good news for us Democrats." Say it was a mistake, so what? We're there now; let the military do its job and kick some butt, then we can get out.
