Bush was nice to Democrats - look how they have repayed him

Excerpts from Coulter's Article today. I am not sure what the point is of her article other than to point out the outright hypocrisy of the left, which is always good fodder. For anyone who thinks GW was too much a Republican and that's why he was hated, I laugh in your face. He would have been hated because that is what liberals do to anyone who is not a Democrat and they perceive as stealing power that rightfully belongs to them.

Our Next Republican President should learn some lessons from this...no more Mr. Nice Guy.

I pulled Several good quotes;

I don't recall the media swooning when President George W. Bush reached out to rivals, such as Sen. Teddy Kennedy, who was asked to co-write Bush's education bill. In fact, the way I remember it, Bush is liberals' most hated president ever

no modern president has ever done more to bridge partisan divides and show respect to his opponents than George W. Bush.

Gov. Bush bragged that he had "no stake in the bitter arguments of the last few years. I want to change the tone of Washington to one of civility and respect."

Bush was massively chummy with his enemies -- Democrats, communists and the Congressional Black Caucus. So chummy that even they began to wonder if he was a little daft.

In his first few weeks in office, Bush met with more than 150 members of Congress, half of them Democrats -- including five events with America's leading liberal menace, Sen. Teddy Kennedy.

Bush's very first social event at the White House was movie night with the Kennedy family to watch "Thirteen Days," a falsely heroic portrayal of JFK's disastrous handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Bush was the first president in memory to attend the congressional retreats of the opposing party.

Bush even made a special point to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus upon taking office, which -- given their feelings toward Bush -- would be the equivalent of Obama holding a special meet-and-greet session with the upper management of the Ku Klux Klan.

Though it was small potatoes after all that palling around with Teddy Kennedy, this is the same George W. Bush who had Muslim "spiritual leaders" to the White House a week after 9/11.

Bush also appointed several key positions to former Clintonians and Democrats. All of them came back to bite him straight in the arse. This teaches a lesson in how to handle the Democrats next time. The next Republican that runs on a bipartisan platform need not be elected to represent the party, we won't vote for him. We want a truth-teller, and man who is not naive about the way the Democrats operate with extreme incivility.
