Bigworld, >>> VP slot, Romney will have a tough call to make <<<
General Petraeus had been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate by Webster Tarpley if there would be a brokered convention. Petraeus is a favorite of the Neocon war mongers. But that seems a lot less likely now if 'Ken doll' Romney emerges as the viable nominee. The banking cartel is OK with Romney since he's one of their own, from the hedge fund leveraged buyout cesspool.
Gingrich is a 100% sellout to the Neocon/AIPAC wing, but he would arouse the Left too much and make the implementation of austerity too difficult. Opposition would be instantly united against him.
Implementing the banking cartel's cut/gut austerity plans is a key goal for the next administration, so normally they would want their Trojan horse Obama in the White House to keep the Left at bay. However Obama has burned his bridges with the true Left/liberal base by his continual selling out to Wall St. Thus the true liberals are once more left without a candidate, just as the true conservatives will again be left without a candidate without Ron Paul. So as usual, with two controlled puppet candidates, the people lose and Wall St wins.
Obama is not a liberal, far from it. Obama's job is to keep Left opposition at bay while the banksters gut Social Security/Medicare, build the police state, and finish off what's left of the US. Plug in the other phony 'Ken doll' teleprompter reader Romney, and the result is the same.
