wouldn't want to risk getting unelected, would he

I think term limits have been one of the greatest things in some areas of our government - I see no need for career politicians who begin to usurp massive amounts of power and then become targets for lobbying bribes and corruption. I hope chavez will pass away like bush - they are silly - hehe.

Actually, he enjoys the support of a solid majority of Venezuelans. In the 2004 recall election, he won 58% of the vote with a 70% voter turnout. Basically, the rich hate him and the poor love him. The Venezuelan media is controlled by the rich and the US media buys into their anti-Chavez spin.

dictatorial powers

He's less a dictator, and more committed to democracy at home, than Bush.
