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: RE: Legalization for aliens a 'must,' Bush announces

Steve -> "Fair enough. Who was the last non-Republican you voted for?"

Sadly, it was Meg Scott Phelps (She seemed like a nice lady and it was only an ag. race; is she still in jail?)

-> "Nominally and traditionally, but I said leadership, which means the whole breadth of Republicans at the top. Republicans have been selling themselves as the party of principle. Let's see some of that in action here. If principle means you need to cut your President loose because he's an idiot, then go for it. So far, I sure don't see any of that happening."

You remind me of a liberal because they tend to be very idealistic. Since I get the feeling I'm the only realistic and rational person on here, let me say that even though I disagree with Bush on this issue, that doesn't mean I want to cut him loose.

-> "Not because of anything the leadership did. There was a revolt in the House, embarrassing the House leadership into stalling, but hide and watch. That Senate bill will be passed, nearly intact, just as soon as the GOP has secured its majority in both houses after the elections. You can take that to the bank."

Why are you so obsessed with the GOP "so-called" leadership when you admit there was a revolt among conservative GOP members in the House, in which Congresswoman Foxx was one of the people that revolted. I'm sure if these same conservative House members get reelected, there will be another revolt in the House.
