As a conservative, the Left only admires you or has good things to say about you when you serve their purpose, like Bob Packwood as a Republican abortion supporter, or John McCain as a damager of the First Amendment and general pain in the ass to Republicans.
Otherwise, that politician is dumb, stupid, or scarily evil, even though they are the exact same person they were before they STOPPED doing things the liberals found helpful.
This is proving Ann Coulter right, once again. If anyone sides with the president, you have to think hard about your position, because liberals support him, and that probably means he is wrong...:)
