I have been saying that Chavez should admit the truth and spend his remaining time with his family for four months: I believe he has 8 months at the most left to him.

Of course, of course……

President Chavez has cancer and his Venezuelan and Cuban doctors pick the phone and consult, not a world renown oncologist but an obscure Venezuelan pulmonologist that resides in Naples, Florida, USA.

Brainwash anybody?

Think - why does your hero Chavez get the chance to travel to Cuba for treatment when the ordinary Venezuelan wouldn't have the opportunity and would have to put up with substandard care in coutry and die an agonising death.

I thought Chavez was a socialist? I guess some are more equal than others ?

Value your Marxist opinion.

I shall rejoice when this gorilla bites it. Maybe afterwards, things in South America can turn a corner towards sanity.

Mr Beef….:

You begin to sound as turnipy as that “Mr. AntiFascist” that calls me Nazist.
Or as Mr. Justin(hishead)Kuntz, that calls me a Racist.
Or Cher Isolde that calls me a Haughtist :-)
You keep calling me a Marxist.

I’m neither.

You are a self proclaimed left winger though Think. It does appear that Chavez is not practising his own chosen ideology though.

I think you are wasting your time with 'I don't Think', do you think?

This character can only fall back on insulting the Brits when he is caught out in his illogical thought processes. He never brings anything positive to the forum.

Only turnips, turnipy and other 'clever' things as far as 'I don't Think' thinks!

I think he must have a turnip on his his shoulders.

Does anyone think Chavez is going to live more than, say, six months?

Four months ago I predicted he had 12 months left and should spend the time with his family, I see no reason at the moment to alter that view.
