When you take money from Hugo, you do Hugo’s bidding. Rudy claims it was all about jobs but that’s just an botched effort at populism. Sorry, appealing to the peanut gallery won’t help here. Every compensated service of value to Hugo strengthens Hugo, otherwise he would not pay. Why doesn’t Rudy just forego that contract as anyone decent might?
The problem is this: Rudy DOESN’T THINK Hugo is a problem.
And just because YOU are late to awareness of Hugo and make claims that Hugo only got bad recently, don’t think he was. Hugo Chavez has been attacking America since 1998 and Rudy should have known this. He didn’t just get bad lately. Hugo’s efforts have risen sharply since 2002 and he has a vast propaganda budget being used to subvert America and win over ghetto dwellers through Cheap Oil. That’s a long long time to learn about what Hugo’s game is.
The whole thing stinks. Nobody should take Hugo’s money. You take the king’s penny you do the king’s bidding.
Nice try but Rudy has made public statements about Hugo Chavez NOT being a friend of the US!!
"“Mayor Giuliani believes Hugo Chávez is not a friend of the United States and his influence continues to grow because of our increasing reliance on foreign sources of oil,” the statement said. “As the mayor has consistently stated, the development of alternative fuels is a priority that demands a solution in order "
