What thanks did Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez get for accurately describing one of the Worlds greatest war criminals, George Bush who has murdered tens of thousands of children (“collateral damage”) in Iraq, as the “Devil” at the United Nations and offering heating oil to poor families in America and possibly preventing the next Neo-con driven war by promising to stop oil shipments if the U.S. attacks Iran?
Why Democrat Party leaders coming out in support for George Bush, of course.
Nancy Pelosi calling President Chavez a “Thug”, Charles Rangel trumpeting “Don’t insult MY PRESIDENT!” and even Bill Clinton said, “ I really wish he hadn’t said it”. Et tu, Billie?
Hey George, can’t you just feel the love?
What’s next? Maybe in another two years they’ll vote to give you a third term so we won’t have to change horses in the middle of the war on/of terror. Maybe twelve Senate Democrats will violate their oaths to uphold the Constitution and vote to end habeas corpus in the United States. Hey wait a minute. I think that already happened!
Well George, I think this calls for a toast. Now don’t give me that “12 step” non-sense. If Laura, the self-proclaimed desperate housewife, can chain-smoke Marlboro Reds, you can have a celebratory drink now and then. Just stay away from the powder.

For the rest of you…
Take action!
Call the Venezuelan Embassy at 202.342.2214 and thank President Chavez for speaking truth to power at the United Nations. The website is http://www.embavenez-us.org/ if you prefer to e-mail.
Then call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202.225.3121 ask for your Representative’s office and tell him or her that you agree with President Chavez. Ask for “clarification” from the noted Democrats as well. That’s what AIPAC does if House or Senate sheep ever stray from the fold. You could also ask for the extradition of that CIA terrorist Mr. Posada back to Venezuela while you’re at it.
If you buy gasoline, buy Citgo gasoline and only Citgo gasoline. It is an American company but with Venezuelan investment. And Boycott Exxon, Mobil, Shell and BP. If this may cost you a few cents more per gallon don’t worry because after this election is over we’ll all be back to paying between $3.50 and $5.00 per gallon anyway.
Then call the various popular Medias and call them out for the misinformation about “7-11 dropping Citgo because of the U.N. speech.” See CITGO Responds to Misinformation http://www.embavenez-us.org/news.php?nid=3076
Still, you can call the 7-Eleven® Customer Relations number at 800-255-0711 and tell them what you think.
If you haven’t done so already sign the Impeach Bush petition at http://www.impeachbush.org/site/PageServer
