Great. Inadvertently coming across his loud annoying propaganda speeches for the rest of my life. Or his life.
Clinton would still be president if he got rid of term limits. We would have never gone to Iraq, our economy would be unbelievable strong and stable, and nobody would know or care who W. Bush is. Term limits aren't always a good thing. That place was horrible before Chavez arrived. Plus I have respect for anyone who humiliates the CIA like Chavez did when they attempted a coup.
Um. What? People wouldn't know the governor of Texas, the President's son? Is that why no one knows who Jeb Bush is? As for "unbelievably strong and stable" economy... you're kidding, right? Ed O.
You're fucking kidding me right? Want me to tell you about the scars on my dads back because he was against the rise of Saddam and the Ba'ath party.
His point was, I would bet, that elections aren't always anything approaching legitimate. I'm not expert on current Venezuelan politics, but I believe Chavez has had the ability to shut down opposition voices as well as to disenfranchise dissidents. 56%, or 62%, or whatever percent you want to say above 51%, doesn't necessarily mean a lot in that environment. Ed O.
My point was that "elections" in some countries aren't as transparent as elections in free societies. I view the "56% of Venezuelans" vote with the same skeptical eye that I view the sham "election" that Saddam held prior to to his demise. I meant no offense to any of the brave Iraqi citizens who stood up to that animal. I'm PMing you this as well, because men like your dad are heroes.
That was my point, but I do understand DaRizzle's defensiveness after understanding the stories I am sure he has been told about Saddam and the Ba'ath Party. I also think it is disgusting that our current administration is now normalizing relations with Syria, but that's for another thread.
No that's not facts, that's a selected few economists opinions that were likely paid for. But whatever, 2000 LOL. Greatest recession in world history. Record jobs, record financial stability. Maybe the recession did start in 2000 though, right about when people started realizing what would happen if Bush was elected.
