That would be Nicky, and she would be freshly-married (damn).

The DUers are seriously rooting for Chavez?

Of course they are. The man is a Communist.

I just found it. It's kind of muffled, but funny:

the guys on the Beltway Boys said it would be better for Bush if Chavez stayed in office.

I saw that and I couldn't disagree more.

Please, enough pluging of liberaldrivel.blah in this fine conservative forum.

As much as we like to play up the positive aspects of this forum, sometimes it's fun to show just how much the other side sucks.

As a side note, if you look in their threads, you'll see that they're celebrating the defeat of the US Olympic Basketball team as well.

"There's another quote from the article where a lady says something along the lines of "we don't want to be Cuba".

These are the sorts of things that break the Left's heart."

And make me cackle with delight. They'll probably be as sad as after Ortega got voted out. Delightful!

Someone ought to point out that they're not exactly a team, and that IF they vote, they're more likely to vote for the RATs.

Well, then it must have been another show. Like I said, I couldn't see who was speaking, but I thought it was Fred Barnes and Morton Kondracke's replacement.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him say "this was a fraudulent election, I won't abide by it." Hello civil war :(...

After I read your post, I visitied the communist Cuban media websites; it seems that the commies are very happy with this election.

Th communist media in Cuba is claiming that the elections are clean. The commies are singing the praises of the record turnout and the orderly wait of the Venezuelan people:

The Venezuelan ambassador in Cuba, Adan Chavez, reported by phone from Caracas that, except for minor incidents, there has been no public unrest during the recall election today. The abstention rate among voters was record low, about 7 percent of Venuezuelans have not voted yet.

[The above is a quick translation of the original in Spanish]

El embajador de Venezuela en Cuba, Adán Chávez Frías, refirió vía telefónica desde Caracas que salvo pequeños incidentes, no se han producido alteraciones del orden durante esta jornada del referéndum revocatorio, en el cual la abstención ha sido un récord, por reducirse al siete por ciento.

Your first problem was listening to the idiots on Fox News.

The price of oil is based on supply and demand. Do you tink a Chavez replacement would turn off the spigot? The spigot that will be turned off is the one that's giving Cuba virtually free oil.

Now how can the removal of a wanna-be tyrant hurt Bush?

People should start thinking for themselves and stop listening to the pundits.

Hurricane Hugo WON'T be going quietly into the night. Look for him to declare the recall null and void.

Is that a serious question? Do you ever visit the DUmmie forum? They are also seriously rooting for Castro.

If you're accusing me of not thinking for myself and listening to pundits, you're making a lot of assumptions. All I did was relate something I heard said. Get over yourself.
