Hugo Chavez may have lost both the recall referendum in 2004 and the December 2006 presidential election, according to studies conducted by a distinguished multidisciplinary team in Caracas, Venezuela. The team includes the rector of Universidad Simon Bolivar, Frederick Malpica, and a former rector of the National Electoral Council, Alfredo Weil.
Astonishing as it may seem to Americans who believe the contention by Mr. Chavez that he won both elections by a landslide — 58% to 42% in the recall and 61% to 39% in the presidential election — the studies show that since 2003, Mr. Chavez has added 4.4 million favorable names to the voter list and "migrated" 2.6 million unfavorable voters to places where it was difficult or impossible for them to vote.
None of these additions or migrations to the voter-register has been independently audited in Venezuela. Instead, the votes have been electronically counted by Chavez cronies. So when Mr. Chavez announces a landslide, there has been no way to prove otherwise, even though exit polls and other data have consistently shown that half the voters of Venezuela or more oppose Mr. Chavez.
On the basis of this fraudulent manipulation, Mr. Chavez has claimed a national mandate for all of the following, which we clarify for Americans as if President Bush had done so in America. He:
• won all 435 seats in the House and all 100 in the Senate, and packed the Supreme Court with nine sycophants that never ruled against him;
• asked his rubber-stamp Congress to let him legislate unilaterally including amending the Constitution, and 100% of the members of Congress voted for that;
• decreed under these powers that he can run for re-election to the presidency for life;
• plans to decree that cities and states will no longer be governed

I really hate that traitor.

Yes, Carter sucks like all pinko anti-Americans. And don't let Hitlery see this piece -- she will be drooling all over herself when she gets a taste of Chavez's communism.
This commie thug will have to be taken out another way.
So what are the Venezuelan people going to do about Chavez?
SUFFER
Boy, you've got that right. That's exactly what's happeneing, particularly as a result of rampant inflation.
Venezuelans, like most people everywhere, are largely apolitical.
They're trying to get through the day, get the kids out the door to school, put food on the table, etc.
They're patriotic and love their country, but they're not anti-Antiamerican.
duh...
You know what I mean...
Strange though, that they feel no affinity or affection for the Cubans and Venezuelans
Probably learned the voter roll manipulation from Chicago.
Chavez May Hasten Pace of Nazification Program
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened to step up the pace of his Nazification program to deal with the emerging food crisis. Supermarket owners and food distributors have been put in a bind by government mandated controls that place the selling prices of their merchandise below the cost of obtaining new inventories.
“If they continue to disobey me, I’m going to take their properties and nationalize them,” Chavez said. “I cannot abide these blood-sucking capitalist parasites. My people must be freed from this pestilence even if it means I must personally exterminate every last one of them myself.”
Chavez has been intent on nationalizing “strategic” sectors of the economy since winning re-election in December. He has moved quickly to take over electricity and phone companies since the National Assembly gave him authority to enact sweeping measures by decree and accelerate the country’s transformation to a socialist economy modeled on the one established in Cuba by Fidel Castro.
President Chavez told a gathering of pensioners that he was building a “new Venezuela that will last for a thousand years” and is waiting for the “first excuse” to take “stern measures to ensure obedience and order prevail in the Venezuelan fatherland.”
