if you are going to be a dictator, you can't have term limits!

[peyton randolph]

Chavez can extend his stay indefinitely...but he won't last more than 3-5 years without being killed or exiled.

[Thunder90]

Now why does this NOT suprise me?

[george76]

Works for Castro...

[wagglebee]

"I might sign a decree calling for a popular referendum -- do you agree that Chavez should run for a third term in 2013?" Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast. "It's not a firm decision, it's something I'm thinking about."

And I have no doubt that Jimmy Carter will be there to "validate" that 100% of the people want Chavez to be president for life.

Well, we need him to be around to save us when the eeeeeeevil Bush and his neocon cabal remove our term limits and tries to install the boy king forever.

(Sorry, thought I was posting at DU.)

IMAGINE my surprise!!

I can't wait to hear the excuses on DU from the folks there who have their noses up Chavez's butt;

'It will take him decades to undo the damage that has been caused by evil imperialists...'

'This is to reassure the people that he will stay to help them as long as it takes...he love them, you know...'

'Until he can guarantee that future elections will not be compromised by US meddling...'

Bla bla bla.

It's Bush's fault, bla bla bla.

[DOGEY]

Seig Heil!

[sgtbono2002]

I dont doubt for a minute he will do whatever he has to in order to stay in power. His intention is to rule all of South America and the Carribean.

He is insane.

Another President for Life.

[Roy Tucker]

Look for a fire in the Reichstag, er, Assemblia, any day now.

[Shermy]

Maybe he doesn't have to declare dictatorship at all, since he's got the Diebold voting machines.

[festus]

Since the left is so fond of Chavez GW should announce that in an attempt to reach common ground with Chavez he is lifting term limits on the presidency of the US as well and that it will be GWB/Condi '08.

LOL............

[Chode]

and there it is...

[vpintheak]

No way! I am floored by this news, just floored I tell you. What does ol' Jimma Carter have to say about this?

[dfwgator]

I say we impose "Romanian Term Limits" on Chavez.

[Lurker]

It's the same old story with a cheap thug.

One man.

One vote.

One time.

[dfwgator]

I remember in the early days of his rule, Castro interviewed with some American network, and emphatically stated, that he had no intentions of continuing his rule within two years, and that he was only going to stay around until elections could take place......we're still waiting.
