94. I don't see how getting rid of term limits is dictatorial...
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 08:24 PM by Solon
generally speaking, I'm not in favor of such limits, as long as the election process is transparent, with secret ballot, etc. I have no problem with someone being re-elected an indefinite amount of times.

Did he overreach by trying to push so many different reforms in one package? Of course, but he wouldn't be the first democratically elected leader to try and fail to do that. What I really don't like is the fact that damned near all the criticism of Chavez I've seen has been hyperbole, exaggeration, or downright lies. I really can't take people seriously when they engage in these types of attacks. If you have a criticisms of Chavez's policies, then criticize those, to be honest, I don't even know what your goal is in opposing Chavez so fervently, do you really want the rich minority back in power in Venezuela?
