Most Venezuelans Want Chávez Out in 2012
Intelligence Quarterly ^

Posted on 06/28/2010 7:25:59 PM PDT by Princeverdi

Most people in Venezuela are hoping to see president Hugo Chávez leave in 2012 when his current term expires, according to a poll by Hinterlaces. 64 per cent of respondents want Chávez to step down in two years, up three points since October 2008.

Chávez—a left-leaning leader—has been in office since February 1999. In July 2000, he was elected to a six-year term with 59.5 per cent of all cast ballots. In August 2004, Chávez won a referendum on his tenure with 59 per cent of the vote. The special election was called after opposition organizations in Venezuela gathered 2.5 million signatures to force a recall ballot. In December 2006, Chávez earned a new six-year term with 62.89 per cent of the vote.

Chávez’s government has vowed to bring “21st Century Socialism” to Venezuela.

Chavez is left-leaning? And Raquel Welsh has somewhat pleasant features.

....dictators don’t leave.

You sold your soul to leftists. Now you’re going to have to live with it.

Just the like we in the US will. :(

“And I want the gophers out of my backyard. neither one is going to leave willingly, or for that matter, alive.”

Chewing gum (e.g., Juicy Fruit) works and better yet, you don’t have to chew it. Put it in the tunnel opening and, voila, problem solved. The Democrat gophers can’t digest the gum, they die. I got one a couple of years ago - Barney Gopher - dead!

Chavez faced a recall election in 2004. Exit polling said he lost by close to a 3 to 3 margin. He officially “won” by that same margin.

I think most Venezuelans would be happy to see Chávez out tomorrow.
