he'd rather be wrong together with him

[navi tasan]

Which are correct:
1) He'd rather be wrong with a man like Tom than be right with someone like me.

2) He'd rather be wrong along with a man like Tom than be right along with someone like me.

3) He'd rather be wrong together with a man like Tom than be right together with someone like me.

4) He'd rather be in the wrong with a man like Tom than be in the right with someone like me.

The idea is that he hates me, or my positions, so much that even if I am right and Tom is wrong, he'd rather have the same position as Tom.

For instance, he hates my political positions so much that if I speak out rightly against an injustice and Tom defends it, he'll rather have the same position as Tom.

Perhaps:

If I am right he'd rather be wrong.

Or:

Whatever I'm for he's against.

I think bringing a third person into it confuses things.

I don't consider any of them correct, mainly because "wrong" doesn't collocate with "with"

The idea is that he hates me, or my positions, so much that even if I am right and Tom is wrong, he'd rather have take the same position as Tom.

For instance, he hates my political positions so much that if I speak out rightly against an injustice and Tom defends it, he'll he'd rather have take the same position as Tom.

Let's give "him" a name to make things clearer.

Even if Tom's wrong, John would rather agree with him than with me.
