A Bully Pulpit Needs A Preacher

President Teddy Roosevelt recognized what he called the "bully pulpit" of the presidency. The is one of the most significant powers that a President has. It gives the president a huge opportunity to persuade, to influence the hearts and minds of the people of this country.

Bill Clinton said "Abortion should be legal but rare." Yet, in eight years in the White House, he refused to use the bully pulpit to help save one life."

George W. Bush said "America is not ready yet. The hearts and minds need to be changed". Yet in his two terms in office he has refused to use the bully pulpit to persuade anyone not to have an abortion or persuade one doctor not to do an abortion or one legislator to write a constitutional amendment to protect life. He couldn't even persuade his own wife, his daughters or his mother to advocate protecting the unborn.

In the recent debate on Truthtalklive there was the question of which candidate would kill more kids. A better question would be... "Under 8 years of Hillary or Rudy, will either candidate save even one unborn baby?"

What almost every Democrat and Republican presidential candidate now has in common is the fact that they too will never use the bully pulpit to fight the fight for the unborn.

As sincere as Mike Huckabee may be in his position, as a governor his pro-life role has been mostly passive in his pro-life position...besides in almost every other position he's a liberal.

Alan Keyes in the ONLY candidate who will use the bully pulpit the fight the fight for the unborn as long as he has access to the pulpit.

If Rudy Giuliani gets into the White House as a Republican, the the pro-life wing of the Republican Party is dead and the influence the pro-lifers had on the Republican Party will be gone... maybe forever.

The reason why there has been a pro-life plank in the Republican platform is because up until recently many secular Republicans believe that it's been what's needed to get the support of the Christian right.
If they can get the vote support of the Christian right without having to be pro-life, they can then move to be an openly pro-choice party.

A bully pulpit is a terrible thing to waste. Let's vote to use it!

Romans 10:14

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
