Tom Tancredo, a principled man.

principled - based on or manifesting objectively defined standards of rightness or morality; "principled pragmatism and unprincipled expediency"; "a principled person"

That definition of principled was, I thought, necessary before I spoke of Tom Tancredo as a principled man.

Tom Tancredo- Principled Man Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, indeed all professional Democrats are highly principled people.  Based on their life code anyway; - in politics, whatever it takes to achieve statist government ascendancy, to include lies, voter fraud, mayhem, criminal violation of the law, thuggery, anything! - is not just condoned, but expected.   Elected Democrats are the "made men" of politics.  For the rest of us, traditional standards apply.  Last week former congressman Tom Tancredo issued an ultimatum to two Republican primary hopefuls for Colorado governor, Scott McInnis and Dan Maes, unless they agreed to his conditions by Monday.  “ Those conditions:  They must commit to withdrawing from the race the day after the Aug. 10 primary if polls show the winner trailing likely Democratic nominee John W. Hickenlooper. Republicans immediately denounced Mr. Tancredo, calling on him to rescind his threat and predicting his candidacy would spell disaster for the party's chances in November. But the way Mr. Tancredo sees it, he's doing the Colorado Republican Party a favor. He says the Republicans have no chance of winning the race with Mr. McInnis, who's embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, or Mr. Maes, an unknown who was recently fined for campaign-spending violations. "We're at the point where Scott is not a viable option," said Mr. Tancredo in an interview Sunday. "So I have a responsibility to the conservatives in this state to do what I can to make sure John Hickenlooper isn't elected." If Mr. McInnis withdraws his candidacy after the primary, the state Republican Party can form a vacancy committee to select a replacement candidate, which, Mr. Tancredo acknowledges, "won't be me." -Wa TIMES ” The public Tancredo is nothing if not  principled.  When it comes to protecting the nation against the Mexican invasion, none stood higher than Tom.  The American Conservative Union issued ratings for potential presidential candidates in 2008, and Tancredo took first with a lifetime ranking of 99 out of 100.  True to his word, at high noon yesterday Tancredo declared run against GOP.     Three cheers for Tom!
