Hah, this is rich, now every America hater in the world will align themselves with the Democrats, which WONT go down well here at home. Hey, Democrats, you lay down with dogs.....
Are enemies are dancing over our defeat. Chavez, you better hope the "evil" Bush administration doesn't decide to off you.
If only the fool would admit that the Dems asked him to increase the price of oil so that they could retake the Congress.
Chavez called the vote against Bush’s Republican party a “battering” and a “punishment vote” for the Bush administration’s policies, referring to the war in Iraq, laws that limit civil liberties in the U.S., such as the Patriot Act, and the high level of military spending in the U.S. Later on, Chavez also said, “I believe that what is happening in the United States today was destined.” “We see [the democrats’ win] with optimism, not for Venezuela, but for the world,” he added. “While they [the U.S. government] clashes with us, this is nothing compared with what is happening in Iraq.” Chavez then recalled how he was able to have a dialogue with President Clinton. “I received various emissaries from President Clinton,” said Chavez, emphasizing that such discussions were conducted quietly, “without convoking a press conference.” Also, the U.S. ambassador to Venezuela at the time, John Maisto, never said anything against Venezuela. “Now [after election], hopefully, the Democratic Party will come out with the best it has, the best of its principles,” he exclaimed.
Islamists, communists, and leftist surrender-monkeys the world over are all giddy over the Democrat victory. ....and for good reason.
Solidarity with Progressive Elements placemarker.
Recalling the 2004 presidential campaign, Chavez told of how the Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry, made overtures to contact him, via Citgo, and that Kerry sent warm greetings at the time. This gave him some hope that if Kerry were to win, a relationship of mutual respect with the U.S. could be started. However, a few days after the Citgo meeting, Kerry’s campaign came out with a strong anti-Chavez statement, which Chavez attributed to an error within the Kerry campaign, to “infiltrators” and thus decided not to respond publicly to the statement. Instead, he sent a private message to Kerry, saying that he doesn’t ask Kerry to put on Chavez’s trademark red beret. Instead, “If Kerry has to say that Chavez is a tyrant, fine, but then, once elected, we talk.”Same old treason.

So the election makes Hugo, Iran, and al Qaeda happy.
That pretty much sums it up. Does Vegas have any odds when the next attack will be in '07?
Chavez must be one of those "World leaders" who Kerry claimed wanted a Democrat victory.
And let no one think for a moment that US dems don't welcome Chavez congratulations. They're comrades in the truest sense.
Truth be told there are more than a few right wingers who are happy at the republican defeat as well.
Bush Haters on the left and right around the world and here in America are rejoicing over their win.
" Must be some kind of celebration at libertarian central knowing they've created a socialist landslide in the middle of a war."

Surprise. Jihadists and leftists both welcome the dem sweep in congress.
