Chavez is da man

[GePap]

He lost by at least a million votes there. The fact Wyoming is geographically bigger than Massachussets, Connecticut, Rhode Island and NJ does not hide the fact about 15-20 times more people live in those small states put toghether than Wyoming.

Heck, Even though he lost California decisively, he got more votes there than in Wyoming, Utah and Nebraska, 3 states where he won every county.

Yep, the common white male with a six figure income.

Sorry MtG, but the salt of the earth votes Republican...

Hey, the republican party covers rednecks, and they most definitelly are common men!

See, even GePap knows the truth.

Commies convince the peasants that they really are for the people too. Your point?

That's because their minister tells them that the Democrats want to let homosexuals eat aborted fetuses. If they'd stop trying to undermine education, they might learn their minister is FoS.

BTW, the common man is not the same as the salt of the Earth. Farmers make up 5% of the population, which is pretty damned far from being common.

You mean they don't do that?

Why would I deal with a post from a European when we're talking about the U.S. Republican Party?

[DinoDoc]

We're talking about how its a loss for the average Venezuelan not your pet peaves about Republicans. I merely sought to provide you a source of criticism you might not automatically dismiss. I'm sorry that it appears I set my sights too high.

[Boris Godunov]

Next time find something relevant. It wasn't relevant. I didn't, after all, say that Republicans weren't the only people who didn't care about common people. They have a lot of company.

[DinoDoc]

There, there Boris. I'll remember not to bother responding when your making a throw-away point from now on. It only causes headaches.

Reality is that Chavez is a thug who is amassing power to himself and his cronies, and plundering the economy in the process, when he isn't ****ing it over with the usual communist idiocy that has failed repeatedly.

Rubbish. He's a popular social democrat who has used his political power to provide things like health care and literacy programs to the poor, things that are common in most developed societies. It just so happens he has to deal with an entrenched elite who think they have the right to run things for themselves.

Have to say that for most Venezuelans the previous 50 years sucked, so I don't blame them for electing Chavez, who is actually trying to do something about it.

An interesting side note is that the opposition didn't even receive votes anywhere near the number of signatures that they collected to force the referendum in the first place.

Looks like Chavez was right about a significant number of those signatures being fake.

They cheated and they still couldn't win.

[Urban Ranger]

Chavez erred. He should have led a revolution to topple the government. That would enable him to swipe away entrenched groups with vested interests.

I just saw reported that one female protester is dead and four others wounded after Chavez supporters opened fire on a demonstration held by the opposition, protesting what they claimed to be widespread election fraud.
