The sad part is if you lived in Venezuela and said that, then you'd probably be shotAgreed. Senor Chavez is a douche bag.
easyt65 said:Liberals want cheap gas and dependency on foreign oil cut; however, they don't want refineries in their back yards and no drilling because they preach that oil wells in Alaska will destroy all of Alaska and hurt the wildlife, which is a lie. Technology today makes the footprint of the operation very small, and animals actually gather around the pipeline in Alaska because it is ewarmer there.
Also, no Dem/Liberal has demanded that we start taking steps to get off oil ansd start finding alternatives because 1) politicians from both sides of the aisle have been getting oil money for their campaigns and 2) it cost a great deal of money, time, and effort to make the switch, which could affect the economy thus affecting votes for these politicians. Every decision is designed for 1 simple thing - what will keep ME IN POWER?

CHE said:Not really because then he wouldn't have won a majority (Unlike Bush) during his recent election, but whatever suits you semi-fascist cons I guess is better
-Demosthenes- said:Shot, 5 years in jail, whatever.
It's against the law to say that Chavez isn't running the government well, so you can really run against him. I wonder if that's how he got the majority...
Just because he's leftist doesn't mean he's good. Until you can figure out that not all things on the left are good, and all things on the right aren't bad, then your just a partisan idiot. Don't bother me.
Che said:Right yeah I'd take a good look at yourself before you tell others to stop doing things. Otherwise you're a hypocrit.
Che said:BTW he had formidable opponents. Prima Justica A.D., and COPEI (The two major opposition parties) took part. Only the small parties that were pointless boycotted. They'd be the equivalent of the libertarian party or Green Party boycotting.
Che said:Also take a look at this article and see if he's the evil dictator that the right tries to portray him to be.

Opposing parties are hindered by the government.
If he sells us cheap oil he can take away the freedom of the press? Is that a valid trade off? I find it ironic that you would use oil to justify Chavez's position, all when I'd thought you were a liberal.
Che said:I mean that you're a hypocrit because you'd follow any conservative no matter what he does. You'll stick by him weither he lies to your face about WMDs, or spies on your calls.
Che said:bullshit. you just can't except the fact that "Senior Duche" is popular.
Che said:Besides Gore was cheated and hindered in 2000.
Che said:At least he doesn't tap their phones and limit their civil rights with a patriot act. Besides, I never even mentioned the press. All I said was that it was a kind of nice thing to do, which you can't even except since you're partisan and think all things on the left are bad, and all things on the right are good.

Che said:You are just as predictable as me. The left will always stick with the left. The right will always stick with the right. I admit that I tend to be partisan on alot of issues. The thing is that you are usually just as partisan as me so calling me partisan is worthless.

Jim said:This one is easy: Jimmy Carter. Agents of a foreign government invaded US property, kidnapped and held US citizens hostage and he did nothing effective to counter the move.
-Demosthenes- said:Carter = Camp David accords = peace between Egypt and Israel = Good.
It redeems a lot of his mistakes.
Vandeervecken said:An excellent point. A peace I might add that has maintained to this day.

The current George Bush will go down as the worst president this country has ever seen. There aren't even any close second choices. The guy is an idiot.
