CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez pledged to redouble his efforts to create a socialist system if re-elected in Sunday's election, saying the next six-year term would bring bigger changes.

Since taking office in 1999, Chavez has increased the government's role in the economy and has nationalized private businesses including cement plants, banks and retail stores.

Another word for theft is "liberated," used to rationalize the taking of items in a war zone.

Why is Dear Hugo even still alive? Don’t we have people who do things in the dark of night still?

Or did Obozo blow all their covers??

There can’t be that much left to steal. Last I heard, he passed a law confiscating the private wealth of whichever rich citizens remain.

Fixed it.

Chavez just endorsed Obama. Said he’d vote for him if he lived in the U.S. Hugo also said that if Obama lived in Venezuela, he knows Obama would vote for him too. One of Obama’s best endorsements, as it most suits his socialist nature.
