I’m sure your prose is out-pacing your logic here:

...respect him for taking a stand on principle even if you found that principle to be despicable.

It’s not often when I can respect a man for despicable principles; this doesn’t qualify as one of those times.

“To love is not to stare steadfast at one another...it is to look forward, in the same direction.”
Saint-Exupéry

I’m drawing a distinction between respecting the principles and respecting the fact that someone can stick to them without bowing to political expediency.

I’d never vote for Obama for sticking to principles I don’t respect, but I could at least respect him for being straight and honest about it.

“To love is not to stare steadfast at one another...it is to look forward, in the same direction.”
Saint-Exupéry
