President for Life

Hugo Chavez has just won again with a manipulated election ending limitations on how many terms he may serve and allowing him to stand for election (with contrived result) every three years. He has murdered his critics, closed the opposition press, and exported his brand of Marxism to Bolivia and Ecuador and helped Ortega and his Sandinistas regain power in Nicaragua. Yet, former US President Carter monitors elections in Venezuela and sees all of Chavez's conduct as above board, proving Carter is nothing but a friend of America's enemies and not an honest broker about anything. Some years back Pat Robertson saw the danger of Chavez dictatorship and suggested that Chavez should be eliminated. Reverend Robertson was denounced and mocked. If someone had listened to Robertson then, life and liberty would have been preserved in Latin America.
