The Three-Legged Stool Explained
Published by June 11th, 2007
Mitt Romney tells Fox News’ Sean Hannity why -- just like Ronald Reagan -- he appeals to national defense conservatives, economic conservatives and social conservatives. That’s the three-legged stool necessary to support and elect a Republican president. Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are apparently a leg short.
I believe in this case “stool” a contraction of the words stupid and tool.
