What culture do you come from where you expect someone to apologize for stating a simple fact. Keyes and Hillary are the only to PROVEN losers against Obama.
In my culture, people are given their due. In my culture, it's the effort made, not the outcome that determines value. In my culture, attempts at sardonic humor should be humorous, not just cutting and mean.
You don't have to apologize. Obviously in your culture, you are allowed to make assumptions and to blame others, to always be right and have the last word. Are you sure you're a real conservative?
