Why did the Tullys side with Robert Baratheon?

If you follow the story and the history, not one High House in Westeros ever supports the Targs unless under threat or with something incredible to gain. They do not inspire loyalty, even to families married into their line. They are mad, cruel and terrible rulers and its no stretch to say that all Lords want them gone. 

They no longer have dragons and the High Lords finally had a good reason to eliminate them. Shit, how many times is the Reynes of Castaemere mentionned versus the killings of the Targ family after the sack? Only Dorne is pissed and only because of Elia. Not a tear was shed for any dead dragonspawn. 

Dorne shed tears over her children too. As did Ned (metaphorically)

They cried over Elia and her children. As I said, they are only pissed because of Elia. 

The only other negative mention of this event is Ned thinking it is dishonorable to kill children and defenseless women. Everyone else seems either happy or not affected by it. 

The Starks lose their castle and half their family and most of the North is willing to Fight for the Ned's girl! Loyalty and honor! Does anyone mention fghting for the Targ children? Nah, they all make fun of the beggar king because they are all happy his family was brought down. The servants and even the garrison of their ancestral home betray them.
