]it's not who votes that counts.....it's who counts the vote! Joseph Stalin

But it could have been said just as easily by any member of the Democrat Party.

Chavez lost this vote just a couple months ago..

Like when Democrats lose, he had to go back and manufacture more votes.

Let me guess.... 100%

As usual, he got 150% of the Philadelphia vote.

He allowed the last vote to be lost to create the illusion of legitimacy. He knew this vote was coming all along and he knew he’d take it.

I’m sure this was a free and fair election. Why, even Jimmy Carter will lend credibility to it.

Not yet, but rumors are he will speak to the American people this week and deliver the following message in Spanish:

Mis conciudadanos,

Ahora que tenemos democracia plena testigo y la aceptación de la causa socialista es el momento de una decisión importante que no hacer la ligera. Con el socialismo cada vez más evidente en el mundo de América Latina y la inmigración ilegal en el lugar, junto con nuestro propio deseo para el control del gobierno, he llegado a la conclusión de que debemos tomar medidas ahora y declarar el español como idioma oficial del mundo. Es español que será el futuro del comercio, la política y la vida. Acostumbrarse a que América. En vigor desde el 1 de marzo de 2009, Inglés oficialmente ser removidos como la lengua oficial de los Estados Unidos. Gracias y buenas noches.

In theory, the concept of indefinite reelection is not too bad.

However, in Venezuela's case, Chavez has been using the loads of oil money unwisely during good times, and now Venezuela is set for a hard landing. Chavez was a military leader, and will almost definitely use violence and force to stay in power if he deems it necessary. Furthermore, the presidential terms are to long if you're going to have unlimited reelection.

P.S. As way of explanation, I support authoritarian governments for developing countries (what some here derogatorily refer to as 'turd world countries'). But, if they have to have some sort of representative government, I think a parliamentary form of government is the best option for them. An American-style presidential system is too complex and unwieldy for them. That's why I consider the concept of unlimited reelected to not be entirely bad, although it would be better if Venezuela had a parliamentary system, and no Chavez, of course.

Ingles no es la lengua oficial de los Estados Unidos de America. Aunque en algunos estados, como California, ingles es la lengua oficial del estado.
English isn't the official language of the United States. Although in some states, like California, English is the offical language of the state. [Woo hoo, got to use some of my Spanish!]

Any such speech would probably push for more socialism/communism in the Americas, and the world - I agree with you about that.

"Jimmy Carter is probably dusting off his speech about how this was a fair election."

Independent polls have shown Chavez having the support of over half the Venezuelan population. Even if he's 'made sure' that he will win, he probably would have won in a fair vote as well.

The same goes for the Presidential election in the United States. I was surprised to see how many FReepers believe that voter fraud won Obama the election. There was probably fraud, but Obama would have most likely won even without it.

The Venezuelan and American people were by and large unwise in their vote, with or without vote rigging.

And by the way, all, not that it's any of your business, but I did not vote for Obama. Really. In case any of you wondered that because to you I appear Obamaphiliac.

I'll second or third or fourth or fifth that.

If China is Nazi Germany, they're a Nazi Germany with FAR more potential than the Third Reich.

Defeating small, resource-poor Germany and Japan (and Italy) took the British Empire, the Soviet Empire, the largest economy (us), and China (lots of people).

China has mind-bogglingly more potential than World War II Germany and Japan combined.

As for the Great Depression repeating, a lot of people have said that that is cyclical, and that the last decade or two was the equivalent of the roaring '20s. So a new Depression was predicted for some time now; we just didn't know when it would hit.

Now that we have seen democracy and acceptance of the socialist cause is when an important decision that does not make lightly. With socialism is increasingly evident in the world of Latin America and illegal immigration on the rise, along with our own desire to control the government, I have concluded that we must take action now and declare Spanish as official language the world. Spanish is to be the future of commerce, politics and life. Getting used to America. In force since March 1, 2009, officially removed English as the official language of the United States. Thank you and goodnight.
