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.

Ron Paul to Host Televised Townhall with Undecided New Hampshire Voters

MANCHESTER, N.H. (Reuters): Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul's campaign will be hosting its own forum on New Hampshire television, following Dr. Paul's exclusion from a Fox News Republican "forum" tonight.
The one hour townhall will be broadcast on Manchester television station MCAM TV-23 from 5-6 PM ET. The event will also be simulcast online at www.RonPaul2008.com.
"By unfairly excluding Congressman Paul, Fox News is turning its back on New Hampshire voters who are tired of business as usual in Washington that overtaxes, overspends and tramples our personal liberties," said Ron Paul spokesman Jesse Benton. "Dr. Paul's message of freedom, peace and prosperity is a natural fit with the Granite State's 'live free or die' philosophy."


Now is the time when Dr. Paul's beaucoups of campaign dollars will come in handy: as the Republicans REALLY want him to shut his mouth.

Tune in for the townhall ... while tuning out for Fox's neo-con presidential forum.

According to NPR this morning, Paul is leaving New Hampshire to go on the Tonight Show tonight. He says up and down he will not run as a third party, but I certainly believe this is a move by someone positioning himself for a go alone.

As for this weekends debate I think we all could see he was being slighted by Charlie Gibson. When Rudy Guliani said America has the "best health care system in the world" all Paul could get out was "Charlie, Charlie" like "Charlie you know thats not true," but he was overlooked.

I disagree. Huckabee skipped a debate to appear on the Tonight Show before Iowa ... it worked pretty well for him.

In all honesty, Paul should be a third party candidate. He's too good for the Republican Party anyway.
