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: N.C. senator pushes bill for popular vote

This is exactly the wrong direction in which we should be moving. We should be rolling back universal suffrage, not expanding into direct democracy.

Obviously everyone should not be allowed to vote. The current crowd of knee-jerking leeches who hold office should be sufficient proof that people who have no other interest than grasping at the next government hand-out should not be allowed to participate in electing our leaders.
