I don't find that ironic at all - I find it refreshing that people are willing to still stand on their principles. I distrust people who are willing to sacrifice such in order to gain fleeting victories over the political opposition, mainly because ALL political victories are fleeting and in the end, only consistent principles have endured.  Ask Churchill. He understood this.
