And the bottom line is, he DID WIN in 2000.
He won, Five to Four. Because only nine people voted in that election--remember???
If you think having, inscribed in your CONSTITUTION, the absolute power of the President in case of emergency,
--Which only HE can declare; --Which only HE can revoke; --Which is INDEFINITE; --Which doesn't require approval of any assembly or judiciary;
For as LONG as he fucking wants is 'cool' well, whoop-dee-do.
If you think Chavez's ability to hold you without charges for as long as he wants, to restrict your right to legal counsel, to not let anyone know you're being held, is a good thing, well, whooop-de-doo.
And one more important thing--the "compare and contrast" argment is lame as fucking hell.
It doesn't matter if we live under a dictator who makes the Ayatullah Khomeini look like Santy Claus.
You say "Well, WE'RE just as bad" like that makes it OK.
If we are just as bad, we shouldn't want ANYONE else to suffer like that, now should we?
But we aren't == we at least have checks and balances. There are NONE in those referendum articles.
