1. Or, how about a choice of:

He's a leader of a sovereign nation, elected by it's people.

2. You forgot, "I don't think for myself. I believe the propaganda."

Way to go, ignoring the majority of Americas :rofl:

4. Well I assume that if people are participating at DU they probably are thinking for themself

But I know other people disagree on on this one.

7. On the Chavez issue, I've seen a lot of DUers parroting Big Oil talking points.

There is such a huge disconnect in the USA from reality beyond the borders, it is no surprise.

The quick check (cure) to discover if you are the least informed
on Chavez vis-a-vis Bush & Big Oil is to watch this awesome film:

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED = FILM on the Failed Overthrow of Hugo Chavez

Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"More than a scary close-up look at the raw mechanics of a power grab, the film is also a
cautionary examination of the use of television to deceive and manipulate the public." ...

6. He reminds me of Huey Long.

A mix of very good and very bad, with not much in-between.

8. Interesting poll

I like how you are introducing something known a "nuance" to the argument!!!

:rofl:

[bryant69]

11. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be taking

Everybody knows that nuance is what took down the roman empire.

10. take about forty years off this old frame and I prolly would be thinking of

trying to make my way there to see for myself what Hugo is :-)

12. I only buy Citgo gasoline, even if it's the highest one in the area

And I also immensely enjoy listening to right-wingers drive by and shout at me, "Buy American gas!", while I am filling up my tank with Citgo gasoline.

Yeah, that's what I heard last week. "American gas"??? Like a product based on Venezuelan light crude from the Orinoco oil belt isn't now qualifying as "American" gasoline? Until a rightwing coup, perhaps?

15. I was pleased to find a Citgo on a side road around here!

I love supporting Citgo!
