Spoken like a true-blue liberal. Win at all cost and at any cost. When you're wrong, don't admit it and double-down on any mistake made. You'd fit in beautifully in the Obama White House.
You compound your mistake by asserting if someone thinks that conservatives should hold themselves to a higher standard than the bed-wetting liberals, you call them "cowards".
Reflexive and intellectually vacant conservatism isn't going to win too many elections, although it's sure does make one popular on chat boards.
I'm confused. Are you against ad-hominems in general or only when they are directed at you?
