Hogo was re-elected. I wonder if there were any shenanigans going on with those voting macjines? Just wondering. He promised a more radical version of socialism and FORGE A WIDER FRONT AGAINST THE UNITED STATES IN LATIN AMERICA!!

"Long live the revolution." That's what Chavez bellowed from the balcony of his presidential palace. From where? HIS PALACE!!. He continued, "Venezuela is demonstrating that a new and better world is possible, and we are building it." Chavez says he sees Castro as a father figure. Who? CASTRO? He dedicated the victory to Fidel and claimed it was a major blow against President Bush. Who? The "lame duck" gone in one year.

Here's a thought. When Bush is gone who will be blamed for everything? It's become a national pastime. "Bush Bashing" swept the nation. The "bashers won't know what to do with themselves.

"It's another defeat of the Devil, who tries to dominate the world. Down with imperialism. We need a new world", he shrieked.

He bashes Bush, but since his election in 1998, Chavez has increasingly dominated all branches of the government and his allies now control congress, state offices, and the judiciary. Current Venezuelan law prohibits him from running again in 2012 but he said he plans to seek constitutional reforms that would include an end to presidential term limits. See? Even in other countries the "power people" don't want their terms limited.

So, he says down with imperialism but wants to "rule forever" like Castro did. He's a threat to the USA and will be confrontational his entire time as president of Venezuela. He's aligned himself with Syria and Iran  and already poses a threat to the security of the United States by allowing Venezuela to become a launching pad for terrorists seeking illegal entry into the USA.

Want to hear something I find very frenetic as well as overwhelmimgly disturbing? THE US REMAINS THE TOP BUYER OF VENEZUELAN OIL!! Are you kidding me? This menace garnishes about 50% of his wealth from the sale of oil to CITGO. Venezuelan oil should be boycotted!!! Citgo should purchase their oil from another source. I don't buy from Citgo now. I'd rather run out of gas then give them another red cent!!

The defeated Rosales said, "We'll continue in our struggle." Some aides wept and others were angry. "We have to do something", said 36 year old Dona Bavaro. "My country is being stolen." (Sound familiar?) "This is the last chance we have. Communism is coming here."

Rosales, a cattle rancher and governor of the western state of Zulia, called the election a choice between freedom and increasing state control of people's lives.

"Who-go" is just another thorn on the vine of anti-American sentiment. It's time to "clip the vine" and rid the property of the "thorny nusiance." Clean up the back yard a little bit, so to speak.
