    Default Re: Votes Defeat Chavez

    I made no judgment claims about our international power and influence. I just realize that it exists. I also realize that Chavez lives to oppose us in every way.

    I honestly believe that Chavez with push his weight through the system and transform the nation into a socialist one, similar to Cuba. I also believe that Chavez is interested in moving his power beyond the border of Venezuela.

    Chavez is a small man who operates foreign policy with personal vendetta's. A simple slight is blown wildly out of proportion.

    Recent Examples: President Uribe of Columbia makes a decision that is his to make after Chavez breaks an agreement. What happens? Chavez removes diplomats and severs ties with Columbia.

    Pime Minister Zapaterro and King Juan Carlos of Spain attend a summit and Chavez gets insulted by the King after going on a diatribe against Aznar. In spite of the fact that Spain under Zapaterro has been closely tied to Venezuela's arms accumulation, what happens? Chavez severs ties and withdraws diplomats.

    He severs ties and recalls diplomats on a regular basis for personal rather than national reasons. He is an egomaniac.

    I love that people defend him and prove that they are ok with authoritarian powers, as long as they agree with them. That's a new concept...

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
