Caracas, Venezuela -- The political struggle to remove Venezuela's flamboyant leftist President Hugo Chavez makes California's recall election look like a simple civics lesson.

It aint over until its over.
In Chavez' case, enemies of the Government have been murdered.
This treatment of thousands of people is disgraceful ... it is an assault on the political freedoms of the people.
They are being squeezed out of their freedom like a Boa Constrictor.
They got fired for their beliefs .... hmmm, those who gave Rush the 'bums rush' will no doubt applaud it.

Hugo Chavez is Gray Davis on Viagra. His nation's constitution allows him to behave in the way Guvenuh Gray would like to.
