Comment: That's what happens when you build a career

who's success is measured by the approval of a fan base. Much like the relationship of corporations and their shareholders. She's got a lot of people to pay too so that's where this "fame trap" sets in. Not everyone begins their career with integrity from the start like Lupe Fiasco for example. Let's not forget that Kelly Clarkson's success was a manufactured one on American Idol.

If the GOP didn't steal the nomination from Ron Paul, I bet we wouldn't be having this conversation.

But I think there is far more value in the way things played out. The Establishment has exposed itself. Whether that's in the mainstream or not isn't really significant. Many people know regardless because the information flow is changing, becoming more organic, more accessible.

We can't fault someone for chasing the American Daydream, then expect them to be Awake and owe the awakened something. Kelly at least said the name "Ron Paul" unlike most cowards in the spotlight. She's just stuck in the system. Not for too long I hope but I really don't care what her position is.
