1. You just know

That everybody here would flip out if that happened.

2. Santos is already ruling by decree for his entire term

as that election was a complete farce. But nice try.

4. LOL. 69% of what? State Department puppets?

5. votes don't you keep up??? don't blame me.

funny how the flooding in Colombia is at least as bad as Ven, they are involved in a on going war, not to mention the drug production yet its the leading "democratic" figure in the region (according to those like you) is the one ruling by decree.

6. Apparently you saw none of the material on the massive fraud in that election

although it was posted right here to this forum for your perusal.

I understand you get a charge out of bashing Chavez. Have it it.

7. yeah, I did miss all the reports on the "massive" fraud

in the Colombian election. feel free to refresh my memory with evidence.

anyway if Colombia ruled by decree, Uribe would still be president, US military would have increased access to 7 Colombian bases, there would be no prosecutor investigation into any wrong doing of current or past administrations, and Supreme Court decisions would not be adhered to.

Santos is not proposing to rule by decree even though the Colombian issues are much more severe than in Venezuela in the aggregate, its your hero doing it.

8. I love it...

they constantly throw up the straw man that we call chavez a dictator, when we don't, but then of course they in essence call the wildly popular Santos a dictator.

you can't make this stuff up.

9. LOL

I liked Antanas Mockus too, but let's face it, Santos won. And I think Chavez helped him win.

10. Does he plan to curtail the massacres, the false positives, disappearances of the poor, helpless?

State assassinations of the poor would seem like a bad idea in a lot of other countries.

Creating the world's largest displaced person population also doesn't seem like something to gloat over.

11. we'll see. I hope he doesn't decide to rule by decree though n/t
