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: The red pill or the blue pill?

I'm not sure that I want to join this thread (as Steve felt a week or so ago during a Tanya Landreth vs. me topic), but I must make a couple of comments.

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

Which is precisely why Steve is right in suggesting that the Republican party of your dreams isn't the party you support. Do your dreams change with the party? If so, that's your right. Like families, political parties do change as their members change and the older generation dies off. You admit that 'you've got enough RINOs in both houses,' and I'm sure that annoyance exists because they're growing, not shrinking, in number.

Conservatism is about fighting the inevitable. Even political parties based on preserving the status quo will eventually change.

In politics, you win some & you lose some... Life goes on.

Which is why politics is more about sport than anything else.

Hey, Reagan was able to get through his tax cuts in the early 80's with the help of the blue dog Democrats... You work with the cards that you have been dealt.

Speaking of sport, Reagan was a great player — I mean politician.

'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 know that you're joking, Andy, but can you see the paradox in the fact that Republicans have also ribbed me while mentioning an American flag flying upside down? I guess that the team doesn't like to be questioned, regardless of what direction it comes from.
