For what it's worth
www.tribbleagency.com...
Our source noted “It will get a women on the ticket that shares the same views as Obama” a reference to many of the Hillary supporters..

I have no idea of the reliability of the source. The website is apparently a blog maintained by an advertising agency.

Blog...Advertising agency...

I wouldn't place any bets.

Well, this article does say Biden is in the forefront but then goes on to mention Sebelius' name as well.

news.yahoo.com...

I think this quote from the piece was an interesting comment also.

The speculation is less of an indicator of whether Biden will ultimately be Obama's pick, and more of a recognition of the challenges their candidate faces at this pivotal moment in the race


I know Ralph Nader sent a letter to Caroline Kennedy requesting she be in contention and many speculate that Clinton supporters would settle for nothing less than Hillary's selection. Like a previous poster commented, I guess we really won't know until the actual announcement is made.

I agree, its probably Biden. I've been hearing the Obama/Biden rumor consistently for a number of days now.

Hillary? She may or may not be a good choice. The one thing that he doesn't need is a VP selection that looks like a stronger presidential candidate than he does or overshadows him in any way. I think Hillary would do both and for that reason would be a mistake. If he chooses her, it won't be long before many will begin to argue that he's just a puppet and that Bill and Hillary are the ones pulling the strings and who would have all the power in his administration. Obviously, that's not a good thing in any respect.

And being professionals, this action hits two birds with one stone. It keeps the attention on the CFR candidates instead of third parties, locking the American people into the false consciousness that America is a "two-party system": a lie perpetrated by a ratings-seeking media that controls the flow of ideas stifling the real issues which are only being promulgated by third party candidates.


Wow!!! Elusive...not bad..not bad at all. Well stated. I agree.

I have for some time now been extremely disappointed in the two party system. I have also been thinking and suspecting that when one is able to peel or pare back the confetti, the fluff, the public chaff, there is only one party.

By this I mean a political party which is not on the ballot/ballots but is capable of steering public events in favor of a private goal or determination.

I am talking about a hijacking here of the public direction...or desires/will..in what is supposed to be a represenative government.

Nonetheless..an intresting manner in which you have stated it. "A false conciousness." I agree with this phrase.

I have tended over time to use a crudity and pardon me for this.
I call it ...we are being jerked off. It is public masterbataion techniques by the political partys and the willing media/educational system who shill for them.

Thanks,
Orangetom
