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.

Speechless In Brown Mtn :-)

Steve opines: "And that's different than a Republican-controlled Congress (and White House) in exactly what way? I know, the Republicans would just stifle a different set of pundits."

I don't believe the Republican-controlled Congress and the White House are trying to put conservative talk radio out of business... I also don't believe they want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine.

"Name the political affiliation of one of the Senators who created CFR and who has announced presidential aspirations for 2008 and name the political affiliation of the President who signed CFR into law after promising he wouldn't."

John McCain (R-AZ) and George W. Bush (R-TX)... Like Will, I was totally against that bill... I also know it was Republicans that tried to defeat that bill. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was the one who filed a lawsuit and took it to the Supreme Court.

"I'd sure love to see any evidence whatsoever that a Republican Congress is any less an enemy of the First Amendment than a Democrat Congress would be."

I believe the majority of Republicans in both houses of Congress voted against the McCain bill, but I'm not sure about that.
