looks like he agrees with rimmy . [rquoter]Chavez says U.S. relations could worsen with McCain Tue Mar 25, 2008 6:22pm EDT CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a socialist and fierce U.S. critic, warned on Tuesday that relations with Washington could worsen if Republican candidate John McCain wins this year's presidential election. Chavez said he hopes the United States and Venezuela can work better together when his ideological foe, U.S. President George W. Bush, leaves the White House next year, but he said McCain seemed "warlike." "Sometimes one says, 'worse than Bush is impossible,' but we don't know," Chavez told foreign correspondents. "McCain also seems to be a man of war." Chavez -- who has called Bush "the devil", "a donkey" and 'Mr Danger" -- accuses the United States of having imperial designs in Latin America and says the White House has plotted his overthrow. McCain calls Chavez a dictator who wants to emulate retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Although Venezuela remains a key supplier of oil to the United States, relations have steadily deteriorated since Bush took office in 2001. Chavez is an outspoken critic of the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and has accused Washington of stirring unrest in Tibet to destabilize China. He said on Tuesday that he had better communication with the administration of former U.S. President Bill Clinton. "Independently of who wins the elections, we are hopeful and it is within our plans to enter an era of better relations with the U.S. government," he said. "At the least one would hope for the level of relations we had with ex-President Clinton." He did not mention Democratic hopefuls Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Both are cautious about Chavez, although Obama has said he could meet him. Chavez, who holds office until 2013, aims to unite Latin America through socialism and promotes trade plans opposed to U.S. dominance in the region.[/rquoter]
If Chavez supports your candidate, that officially tell you that you've made a bad choice... The guy running around makeing threats every other day is calling someone else a man of war. That's hysterical.
This didn't seem to faze most Republicans, including basso, when Al Qaeda groups endorsed Bush in 2004. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,114489,00.html
I think its important to have a candidate who is open and willing to meet with hostile countries. We need a progressive candidate and in that I agree with Chavez, we don't need McCain.
So when Bush brokered a deal with Qadaffi, our new ally in the War on Terror, that was a bad thing? When Bush backed down on Kim, that made Bush a weak weak ass pansy?
lol! Great argument there. I find it interesting that someone who's seen 5 minutes taken out of context and yet wont' even listen to people who've been at the church for decades criticizing others logic interesting. I'd welcome you to point out any logical flaws you've found. That's fine. We can discuss that, but if you are so closed minded to think that you know more from 5 minutes than other people know from decades, then I'm suspect unless you actually address specifics, and point out the logical fallacies.
We're talking about Chavez and the US here. Open a thread on Bush if you want to talk about Bush. I'm telling you Obama's a wet dream for Chavez. Chavez wants us to have an inexperienced leader that straddles the fence and tries to please everyone. Obama should take Chavez to listen to some of Wright's anti american speeches, I'm sure they could have a lengthy conversation on that subject. It would probably take Obama another 20 years to figure out that Chavez would love to see this country go down.
United states of KKK God damn America United states of white america HIV stance No kind of logic would point to adding Wright to any religious committee knowing the guy had that kind of idiotic attitude on this country. Blah blah blah about the people who know him. The guy's a scumbag for spewing that crap and so is anyone who didn't have the backbone to call him out.
Speaking of Chavez... What do you guys think about the evidence the Colombians found that supposedly proved that Chavez was financially supporting the FARC? When that came out, Chavez all of a sudden wanted to remove his troops from the Colombian border....
