Elections, Hugo Chavez, and Stupid, Stupid Liberals
They got to discussing the Hugo Chavez elections, and both noted how Chavez had won more elections than "W", and that Chavez's elections were more "legitimate". Again, the not-too-terribly-intelligent Castrati Boi was talking (as usual) out of his butt.
Had Chavez been a Republican candidate running in the United States, surely (Shirley for the Old Coot) the likes of Castrati Boi and his Leftist Ilk Crime Family would have done what the Left did in 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio; they would have challenged the election results. But no, the Lefty's love a Dictator.
Let's take a look at the Chavez elections:
According to BBC News:
"Officials from the National Electoral Council said that, with 94% of ballots counted, Mr Chavez had 58% of the vote.
Opponents rejected the outcome as a fraud, insisting they had won.
But former US President Jimmy Carter endorsed the results, saying they tallied with the findings of his referendum monitoring team."
"A spokesman for the Democratic Co-ordinator opposition coalition, Henry Ramos Allup, said fraud and "gross manipulation" had taken place.
"We categorically reject the results," he said."
According to Front Page Magazine Jim-mah gives credibility to electing dictators, supporting them and not questioning those elections:
"...his expertise comes from giving credibility to terrorists and tyrants, like Yasser Arafat and Hugo Chavez."
Now, let us not forget Chavez and his attempted Coup in 1992:
"The presidential election victory in Venezuela of Hugo Chavez, a former Lieutenant Colonel who led an abortive coup nearly seven years ago, has provoked relatively little consternation from foreign multinationals and the country's ruling class.
Chavez, who campaigned as the champion of the poor and the scourge of the "oligarchy," settled in rapidly to the role of a responsible statesman, determined to uphold the integrity of Venezuela's constitutional order and the soundness of capitalist investment."
"Washington also congratulated Chavez on his "impressive electoral victory." Having denied him a visa only a few years ago because of his role in the 1992 coup attempt, a White House spokesman expressed confidence in his dedication to the Venezuelan constitution and free market policies, and sent Chavez assurances that a visa would now be granted."
The final paragraph in the WSW article notes:
"The collapse of Venezuela's two-party system and the coming to power of Chavez, like the crisis sweeping Chile with the detention in London of ex-dictator Augusto Pinochet, are indications of a profound revolutionary crisis that is taking shape once again on the Latin American continent."
The Chavez Government continues to repress the opposition. I guess repression is a Left Fringe Crime Family Value.
Further, according to the VCRISIS (Venezuelan News and Analysis):
2004 September 07 - Two Venezuelan academics claim to have found statistical evidence of fraud in last month's referendum on President Hugo Chavez, fueling the opposition's claims of a rigged vote and raising the possibility that despite Mr. Chavez's victory, the country's tense standoff will continue.
The claims were made Sunday by Ricardo Hausmann, a professor at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and former chief economist at the Inter-American Development Bank, and Roberto Rigobon, a professor of applied economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management. [Surely the Left can't say that the Harvard U JFK School of Government is an arm of the Conservative School of Thought, can they? -DD]
The pair issued a report that tried to measure the possibility that the vote was clean using two separate analyses of the official results. In both cases, they said, the chances of a clean vote were less than one in 100.
Members of a civic group called Sumate that organized the referendum, which Mr. Chavez won by a 59% to 41% margin, seized on the study to suggest Mr. Chavez had won by tampering with the electronic-voting machines used in the contest. "We don't think the truth about the referendum has been revealed yet," Alejandro Plaz, a spokesman for Sumate, told reporters in presenting Mr. Hausmann's study Sunday. Sumate requested help from the academics in analyzing the referendum data but didn't pay for the study.
Mr. Chavez's government reacted with disbelief to the claims, saying the opposition's previous claims of fraud had so far proved incorrect. Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel said members of the Atlanta-based Carter Center and the Organization of American States had already validated the result. "No one believes in their theories anymore because three weeks have gone by and they haven't been able to prove anything," Mr. Rangel said.
Members of the Carter Center and the OAS were unreachable for comment yesterday.Mort Zuckerman, a ... Democrat (!!!) also writes of his concern over the Chavez election as well as the ERRORS in Jim-mah Kah-ter's ACCOUNTABILITY of the election:
According to Zuckerman:
* Carter's people counted votes at fewer than 1 percent of the polling stations, which, instead of being selected at random, as originally anticipated, were selected by Venezuelan officials.
Even then, only 76 of the previously agreed 192 ballot boxes were counted, with either opposition witnesses or international observers present at only 26 out of the 76 boxes reviewed.
* The Chavez-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) forbade access to the tallying centers, not only to Carter's people but also to representatives of the opposition, and even to the two members of the CNE who opposed Chavez.
* Two professors from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued a report concluding that there was at least a 99 percent chance the election was a fraud. The audited sample (Carter's) was simply not a random sample, the professors concluded.
Various independent exit polls showed that Chavez had lost the vote by 59 percent to 41 percent, instead of Chavez's contention that he had won by that margin.
"Jimmy Carter, in effect, provided a seal of approval for a left-wing demagogue intent on destroying democracy in Venezuela even as he seeks to extend his ideology to other parts of Latin America," Zuckerman charged. "Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was correct when she pointed out that Chavez is a danger not just to Venezuela but to much of Latin America. Very soon, we must translate those wise words into an effective policy."
Kathy (Mrs. Castrati), I feel sorry for you. Life must suck being married to a deranged, anti-Semitic, Dumb Ass who never gets his facts correct. Wait, I take that back; he could get his facts right, but that would subvert his Liberal Agenda, wouldn't it? Truth Seeker he is not.
