Chavez: A 21st Century Castro »
Posted By Shana4Liberty 8 months, 3 weeks ago in NewsChavez seems to be building a modern day replication of Castro’s Cuba, in an era when communism was supposed to be in the dustbins of history. What is happening in Venezuela spells the same outcome wherever it occurs in the world. Chavez is building himself up as a 21st century authoritarian, and we should stop beating around the bush about what he is. Chavez has already had power for a decade, longer than I personally believe any one man should be in power.

"When President Hugo Chávez first asked Venezuelans to eliminate presidential term limits in December 2007, they told him no. But on Sunday, as if resigned to the idea that he would keep on asking until he got the answer he wanted, voters said yes. Venezuela’s second constitutional referendum in 14 months was approved by a resounding 54% to 45% margin, allowing Chávez to run for a third six-year term in 2012 and perhaps others after that."

One has to wonder why the voters succumbed to his "request"...I'm hoping they deny him another 6 year term when this one is over. He doesn't have the best interest of his country at heart, only himself... -

honest elections are a rare event in the history of the world.

there is a strong case to be made for arguing that our presidential elections in both 2000 and 2004 were rife with fraud.
in mexico, in the 2006 presidential election, fraud prevailed.

no one has claimed that any recent election in venezuela was fraudulent. the author of this piece is saying he doesn't like chavez. fine. but to then say he is a dictator is a ridiculous jump in logic.
you either accept the right of people to vote for whomever they wish, or you tell them they're too stupid and you know better.
similarly, the u.s. was all for the election in gaza, until hamas won. then we were against it. -
