Aides Choose Royalties Over Loyalties

Edited on Fri Nov-23-07 10:53 AM by salinen

Their setting us up again. An article on Dell's homepage about how un loyal it is for an ex-press secretary to publish their memories before the end of the presidential term.

So loyalty trumps morality these days. That means the person who hires you is also your master and you must protect them no matter what they do. Good lesson for our children.

1. This gave you your first clue?

There's only one way anyone has ever been entrusted to work in this administration, and that's perceived willingness to remain loyal to the pResident regardless of what might happen or what kind of lies one might be told, asked to fabricate or repeat.

They are not hired for competence, that's for sure. Old-school ties and loyalty are much more important.

2. It goes Money>Loyalty>Morals.

Scotty isn't doing this for moral reasons, he's doing it to sell books. If the president were enjoying an 80% approval rating I doubt he would have done it.

This was a top story on Yahoo too.

3. Loyalty seems to be a big issue with the wealthy criminals.....

known as the GOP and their supporters. I think it comes from an fundamental awareness that their activities won't stand the light of day, therefore they need the "loyalty" of those willing to keep their mouth shut.
