    I've no doubt that Chavez will be victorious and I've also no doubt it will be a violent and undemocratic victory. Venezuela is a lost cause while he remains alive.

    To anyone who has seen the latest adverts here in South American which end in the tag line “Soy Venezuela. Una Pais Feliz” or “I am Venezuela. A happy country”. Well now we have the proof that these are just propoganda crap brought up by Chavez to help him steal, opps I meant win a third 6 year politcal term.

    Say hello to your new best friend Mercsour.

    Looks like Fat Chav has been having lessons from Iran’s Afterdinnerjacket.

    His name has been put forward for participation in resolving a misunderstanding that Syria is not a paragon of democracy.

    Sadly there was some confusion about the victorious outcome of Afterdinnerjackets wholesome democratic victory in 2009.

    El Chavo with nukes and some Iranian missiles, now there’s a thought.

    Bolivarian Republic of Central/ South America anyone?

    Patriot batteries in the Falklands.

    #1 I have no doubt that Chavez will win (by the will of the people) and that there will be violence (thanks to the undemocratic plots of the elite opposition)

    #12 Are there even many Muslims down there? And if you're having to resort to Islamophobia, the last resort of a scoundrel at the current time, it seems you're losing the argument...

    Last time Hugecrap Chavez came to Buenos Aires last time, and he spent a good few hours porking good old scrotum neck Krissy in the pink house, he spoke before a crowd of masked criminals called “Quebracho” who defended and applauded him. DOWN WITH THE SOUTH AMERICAN CORRUPT POLITICIANS!!
