I'm not saying Robert was some saint, he was in bed with the Lannisters.
I'm saying don't lump Stannis or even Robert in with a scumbag like Jamie Lannister. Nobody told him to stab the mad king in the back.

We might have to revisit this post if Shireen is sacrificed for Stannis' campaign.
Doesn't Jaime get flack for literally stabbing the king in his back. I mean not only did he kill the King he was sworn to protect, he also did it in the most bytchass way possible.
. That way, the situation would put Tywin and Cersei in a bad position. Tywin not wanting to lose his heir would have Cersei pick the worst champion in KL to fight Jamie so that he could win. That plan keeps Tyrion and Jamie alive. With Jamie as Tyrion's champion, Cersei would have never picked the Mountain...just my speculation...I don't know what that psycho would do but Tywin would keep her in check tho 

Last time I ever insult Stannis.



and decided to kill the King. Regardless of whether or not it was the right thing to do, you can't flip-flop like that.
