Like timmeah “Integrity is for paupers!” russert did?

Could you take their tainted cash to serve their means and turn your back on others?

1. How accurate do you expect the answers to this question to be?
Honestly, I wouldn't, but how would you know?

And what's the difference between a compromise and a sell-out?

2. I would not know...
how accurate the answers given, would be.

I am am just putting forth a straight forward yes or no answer to my question.

A compromise in the content of my OP is not possible.

I want to know who would actually sell-out to the other side for the mammon, that's all.

6. Most of us are sell-outs to a certain degree
And what exactly is the "other side"?

Is it working for someone who doesn't share all your political views?

Or is there some leeway involved?

8. The "other side", is the right-wing...
Not neccessarily... when I was working in data processing, my supervisor was a limbaugh/dobbs fan to the core and he focused only on work.

Specifically, what I am referring to is being a total sell-out of your talents to further the right-wing cause at the expense of your fellow human beings... and there would be no lee-way.

4. So...
Like say you had a talent that the corporepublicans could use to advance their cause and harm others, you would do it for the $$$?

Why? Besides being broke, could you give up any honor or integrity that you have?

7. Like sexual orientation, that's nobody's business unless there's a good reason to know.

10. Huh?
I'm sorry, but I fail to see the similarities here.

How is it that using your talents to further right-wing cause for money, is like asking for someone's sexual orientation?
