Venezuela rules! venezuela and Chavez do care folks.

I think Americans are brainwashed with their spurious ideas on freedom. And their willingness to kill and die for multinational corporations.

Also, Chavez is an opportunist and has only done this with a personal/hidden agenda. If you do more research on him from other resources, you'll find that Hugo Chavez hates Americans and has fooled many into believing he's a nice guy. I used to think he might be, until I studied him, and most that I have found out about him is from his own people.

I can relate to being low income and living paycheck to paycheck. But, I also know some people who abuse the system, by not conserving energy and who are careless about what is given to them. I personally know many that are that way.

Chavez is my hero - I wish more people like him would become 'leaders' 'presidents' 'prime-ministers' etc. Most people just want power for themselves and their lazy fucking, lying, cheating, deceiving, dirty, disgusting rich-for-life-greedy-pigs. Chavez is one of the good guys. Fascists use their propoganda machines (ie. 'mainstream' tv) to make good people like him look bad, but they failed with Chavez, because his people know and love him - only the rich hogs who use others don't like him.

Hey sweet-cheeks jramsboy - Could you repeat that in plain English? And I'm not 'American' - I'm CANADIAN - and I don't watch tv (I canceled that crap fascist propaganda). BOTH Obama AND McCain are tool-puppets. American elections have been rigged for decades, or at least since Bush, although I think it would be naive to assume ONLY his elections were rigged. Go read a book.

you are so brainwashed intrepid its actually really sad. do you not understand that your government has taken away all your free media and thats why people riot in the streets. and the AMERICAN media does pretty much whatever they want and arent sensored.and about your "rigged" American elections, have you not noticed we have Obama (whether i like him or not)a black man from a poor background leading a prominent white man. oh yea that sounds like rich americans have that "rigged". stupid bitch

Watch "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" on GoogleVideo, a documentary about Chavez and Venezuela's elections. Pay attention. Chavez is one of the good guys.

[intrepidxxx]

I trust you're perceptive enough to know I meant, "Of course YOU WOULD..." (ie. "hate 'them' if 'their freedoms' were at YOUR expense and NOT for YOUR benefit').

[intrepidxxx]

Most people in America ARE brainwashed by what they are fed on tv - which is privately owned and controlled, like it was in Venezuela before Chavez accomplished a relative impossibility - he won an election system that was rigged by the rich. America's elections are rigged to this day. If you don't know this basic truth, you're on autopilot, and that means, you're spewing the elitist crap that is sold on American 'mainstream media' (ie shit). Look deeper buddy, don't be fooled by US propaganda.
