Venezuela

Today everyone will find out if Hugo Chavez will stay on as President of Venezuela after the years long struggle he has faced against opposition and even the USA. Venezuela is a big hot spot in South America with many resources and the world's 5th largest oil supply. What do you think will be the out come and is Chavez really as bad as Pres. Bush has portrayed him?

Venezuela

My understanding of it all is that Venezuelans were tired of their money constantly being devalued and so they voted in Hugo Chavez - the poor man's people. After some time I begun to hear the opposition saying that he was acting like a dictator and then even the US got in. If that is true or not I do not know, but one thing is for sure - I believe that more people are for him than against him as is portrayed by the media.

Well as I predicted - Chavez has won, but also as expected the opposition is declaring fraud and foul play. What do you think?

As expected, the opposition claims to have proof that Chavez duped the elections so that he could win. They say they will turn over the evidence to prove it, however international reps say they can find no evidence that there was a problem in the election. Chavez is claiming that the opposition are just sore loosers.

I don't know what to believe about Chavez and Venezuela anymore. It is obvious to me that there is a great percentage of people who are not happy with him as President so it is very weird that he got so many votes...it is very strange indeed. A full investigation should take place to determine whether the elections were totally transparent...personally...I doubt it.

Well remember I said that Chavez has the vote of the man on the street - the poor man, and of course, this makes up the majority of Venezuela. I too am interested to hear what the report says and if no fault is found will the people return to normal?

This is one of the few countries in S. America that I can actually envision turning Communist. The conditions of the country are very ripe for this to happen...reminds me of the Bolshevik revolution (except there might not be a need to overturn the government, as Chavez seems kinda interested in the direction already).

Just a thought,
