I love it how both conservatives and liberals assume I'm a liberal or a conservative. Your party does the same as the conservatives you whine about, whether it's not "just let it be voted up or down" or anything else. Your rule works just fine on your "side" in inverse too. The feminazis who rightly defended Anita Hill shut their traps hard when it came around to Paula Jones. Etc etc etc.
Be consistent, or just don't bitch.
