Given that the Republicans have marched in lockstep I can't
think of any Republicans of real principle.
Perhaps you could name one or two?
I agree the lockstep thing has stifled any such voice lately, although Hagel would have to be the closest to breaking with them publicly. I suspect that there are others who are appalled at what has happened but refuse to speak up for fear of reprisal. Don't forget that prior to Bush, the Republicans were the ones who used "rule of law" as a favorite phrase. I think a few of them actually believed it. Most have proven it had no meaning, but I would hesitate to paint all of them with that brush.
