    If you were given the opportunity to work for the President and knew what we do today, knowing it is extremely likely you would be required to defend his statements even if that meant being dishonest to the Public...would you take the job?

    I voted no. Though I take issue with it being a 'line drawn' forcing agreement with the suggestion that we're sacrificing integrity to support Trump. While that may be technically true in the case of supporting any politician, Trump is the easiest one to support in my lifetime, and if history is accurate, the easiest to support since Eisenhower.

    I don't have to lie, cheat, skew, or decieve in any way to support Trump.

    The question is meaningless really because

    "Maybe, depends on the circumstances."

    I could apply to every human being on the planet!

    Would I lie for Hillary Clinton, no. Someone has a gun to my head would I lie for Hillary Clinton, yes.

    Is this O.P. trying to discover if Right of Center people have ethics as opposed to the average Obama supporter and -- apparently -- all RINOs?

    I would interview for the job for only one reason, to tell him where to put it.

    If it's about national security, I would lie as the day is long. Other than that, no.

    In reality lying for anyone in politics is a very unwise idea that can bite your in the bum down the line. This day and age lying for anyone seems dangerous now you can fired for a tweet lol.

    Unequivocally NO, not even if my life depended upon it, because my integrity means more to me than that that tangerine wankMAGAt to paraphrase the Brits.

    I'm a scary boy.
    Got the deathwish.

    I want a hero's death.

    Better I die so that my loved ones might live free.

    Some things are worth more than my life, because my life is not worth more to me than the lives of others.
    There is a higher purpose. And unless you are willing to sacrifice, you will not beat me.
    My willingness to die, makes me stronger than you. You must bow to me or match it.

    There is more to life than your own.

    Take your chance.
    But that is the stakes I will make you play for.

    There will always be someone willing to die for his beliefs.
    Unless you have the will to match his sacrifice, he will beat you. You will fold.

    Sorry to hear about the wish.

    I think the vast majority of humans recognize that there are definitely some things in this sweet paradise worth dying for.


    The higher purpose is really the issue.

    Willingness to die,violent confrontation, required submission and declaration of more to life.

    For a moment there, I thought that you might be of those crazy arsed Islamist mofos in AQ or ISIS.

    Seems the fringes come in all flavors.
