Chavez, King of Venezuela

Link
Hugo Chavez paved the way for indefinite rule by passing the right to remove term limits in Venezuela. While this has the majority of die hard Capitalists (like myself) in an uproar, I'm not so much. Look term limits are over-rated..unless of course you can completely corrupt the election process and pretty much guarantee votes.

Every election year is a "term limit" possibility. Here in the states we don't have term limits for either the House or Senate, so maybe we should shut it until we examine ourselves. Personally I think Congress has far more power than any "president".

Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate.
