Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

GOP Denounces Government-Run Health Care; Filibuster May Not Be Possible

(CNSNews.com) – Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee Monday denounced the Democratic health care reform plan, which President Obama insists must contain a “public option” for the uninsured, calling it government-run health care.

The question now, however, is whether GOP senators can – or will – stop the Democrat-controlled committee and Senate from passing the bill.

Nine Republicans on the committee sent a letter to the White House Monday as a warning that a government-run health care system would do the American people more harm than good.
