Chavez once again porves he's a tin pot dictator in the making.

That is if you assume he isn't one already via rigged elections.

Highlights of Chavez's new moves include giving himself the power to rule by decree, eliminating the autonomy of the central bank, nationalizing the utility companies, and nationalizing any remaining oil fields which haven't been nationalized yet (just a few years ago he was begging for outsiders to help modernize and now he's stealing it all). Chavez has declared that the Constitution of the country is completely wrong and will need to be "revised" yet again to make it more the Chavez's personal liking (he's already rewritten it twice in the past to give himself more power and gerrymander election districts to keep his party in power).

Chavez hasn't declared exactly how he wants to modify the constitution this time however just about everyone believes Chavez is going to remove all term limits thus allowing himself to remain as President for as long as he likes. The man is a fool and so are anyone who believes he won't wreck his country.

What ever you opinion of him is a man capable of taking over a country by means fair or foul isn't a fool, I think the word your looking for is Megalomaniacs.

Neither Oerdin nor Impaler made a spelling mistake (if you assume that the "porve" in the title is a typo)! What are the odds!

Yeah, that's likely a better term.

And, after having totally usurped power and dismissed congress, deferred all future elections and nationalized everything, if he is overthrown the commies will complain that we don't respect democracy.

Che's so weird. He gives all these to people that have no effect on his personal life. Rodenthead.

[Ned]

Che will give a thumbs up to any commie except, perhaps, Stalin.

Smashing the imperialists and their running dogs!

Let's crash the oil price to 30 and see how he fares.

Go Goldman Sachs!

Chavez has done a lot of stupid things, these acts among them. But he is being kept in power by paying off the underclass. For Venezuela, unfortunately, that is not bad politics.

Hugo a Gogo!
