as well. This is one of those things where I'm actually dead serious, he is a much better leader than probably about 97% of our elected reps and the current Resident as well. Just wish he was born here(constitutional amendment anyone? :))

1. Im thinkin we should ask him to adopt us
or something. He is absolutely brilliant, gifted, and follows the greater good.

4. I doubt he would turn back refugees...
I said this in another Chavez thread a couple of weeks ago, but I would prefer to live and work in a country with decent leadership and actual, transparent democracy for once!

5. He's a LEFTIST, get the slurs straight...
actually, come to think of it, so am I, the * Administration actually radicalized me to a large extent. Knew the guy was bad before he was in office, voted for Gore after all, but I didn't know it would have been THIS BAD!!!!!

7. Give a reason...
other than the fact he isn't a natural-born citizen, I mean, that's the ONLY reason I wouldn't vote for him.

10. My cat would serve this nation better than bushit
I don't know enough about Chavez, or whatever his stances are, to make a determination about his fitness for POTUS.

I tend to think the Castro affiliation might be too much for me, but again I have nothing to compare any of this to and am not quite a ready for the true leftist gig yet (or so I think anyway)

I just want the hell out of THIS particular nightmare we are facing currently--I know Clinton was not perfect and was not Liberal enough for many Liberals but he wasn't akin to this piece of shit admin IMO.

God Damn stop the world because I just want off at this point...
I am not the type to *call Kervorkian* but cannot stand this :(

11. It's funny how
ANYONE starts to look good when you have a lying, thuggish knuckledragger for president. But I would be willing to bet if we scrutinized Chavez, there would be something we wouldn't like about him. I'm just happy to know that there's a country somewhere that gives a rat's ass about getting their people out of poverty.
