Chavez Warns of Resistance War With U.S.

[piercehawkeye45]

How has Chavez destroyed a country?

He got democratically elected three times and besides a dip in the early 2000's has been doing pretty well, for both the poor and capitalists.

He is getting a lot of revenue off of their oil (note, not Western oil companies' oil) and that money is being brought back into the country so everyone is benefiting from it, like I said before, even capitalists (that is actually the biggest sector in growth).

I don’t nessesarly agree with everything that Chavez has done but he hasn’t been as bad as the news reports him as. I didn’t agree with Venezuela’s decision to give him that much power because he is human (even though he has proven to be trusting in the past) but he hasn’t done anything that could be considered destroying a country.

Unless…you have a different opinion of what destroying a country is…

How can you support this notion? Chavez is a Marxist/Socialist.

When outside pollers check the last election it turned out he lost by 60%.
He shuts down free press.
He is a totalitarian dictator...
We should just cut him off completely and support, in any way we can, democratic rebels.

Merc, Pierce is a socalist... you have not figured this out yet?

Venezuela isn't the one making a mess of HALF THE WORLD!

So that makes it ok?

How reliable is this? And I wouldn't be suprised, elections have been rigged in every country.

He shuts down free press.

Most of the free press is still anti-Chavez. He shut down RCTV and it is justifiable and they are still able to broadcast on cable and sateliite so the people who can't watch it are most likely poor and would support Chavez anyways...

He is a totalitarian dictator...

Be more specific.

We should just cut him off completely and support, in any way we can, democratic rebels.

But we ignore pro-western dicators that are worst than Chavez? How about we stop intervening with other countries' politics.

I don't follow any political philosophy...

If you post supportive statements of this idiots (Chavez) ideas of government as being a positive thing for the people than I would submit that you would in fact support a particular "political philosophy". You made your bed, support it.
