#33 I get the impression that shiny objects might distract Cindy "Peace Mom" to where she forgets everything she might have had to say. They keep sprockets, mirrors, and bird seed away from her... |

#29 maybe Chavez could have Cindy Sheehan as a running mate. In this link below the picture shows them pretty chummy http://msnbc.msn.com/id/10704025/ |

#18 Where is Pinochet when we need him? Or we might try convince Chavez to accept an invitation from this guy... |

#17 ..has won the support of millions who have benefited from a multi-billion dollar social investment campaign that has provided basic services like free health care and education. The free gravy train won't last. And by the time things go into the toilet, it probably won't be possible to remove the guy without the loss of quite a bit of blood. |

#13 His opposition has been jailed, harrassed and protested peacefully. Earlier, of course, there was the coup attempt against him. And before that, he had two coup attempts of his own against the government. AND, the coup attempt against him happened shortly after people protesting against him were shot by his partisans. I suspect the coup attempt was just a means for him to distract people from his crimes; he got a lot of the opposition to put their necks on the line when they had no real chance of success, and got a lot of the leftists here, there, and everywhere to talk about what a victim he was while he was having people shot. |

#8 Please note that one of the primary reasons this guy is running roughshod all over the place is because his opposition is utterly worthless. Why the very idea of good government is so anethema in Central and South America is just mystifying. Often as not, is it eerily like Woody Allen's "Bananas". Just an endless line of banditos waiting for the last one to fail so that they can take over. Government indistinguishable from a criminal gang. |

#7 "I might sign a decree calling for a popular referendum -- do you agree that Chavez should run for a third term in 2013?" Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast. Ahhh, the reference to oneself in the third person, the surest sign of a raging egomaniac. Who does he think he is, a pro athlete? |

#4 My biggest shock is there is no suprise meter on this one :). |

#3 Everywhere on the left they say Bush will have a third term and how much they admire Chavez. Leftism really is a mental illness. |

#2 Chavez last year opposed a move by one of his allies to end term limits, insisting he did not have any intention of remaining in the presidency permanently. Just until he dies. The former soldier, who led a failed coup attempt in 1992, has won the support of millions who have benefited from a multi-billion dollar social investment campaign that has provided basic services like free health care and education. a. I guess everyone has their price b. Who let him out of jail? |
