AP Poll: Venezuelans Support Chavez By Wide Margin msnbc.msn.com Interesting that this freely-conducted AP poll shows that Chavez may be controversial, egotistical and too friendly with Castro for half the country, but despite this, he has approval ratings double those of GW Bush, and very high marks on domestic issues. Indeed, though Chavez has dominated Venezuela's system of govermment too much, it is still a democracy, and the peoples' choice is clearly Chavez. What's ironic is that Bush claims to want to spread democracy around the world, but when democratic elections support people Bushies don't like -- which takes us back to Iraq. Who do the majority of Iraqis want to lead them? Probably someone who opposed Bush and the US. Maybe someone like El Sadr. So be careful what you wish for, neocons.

What a silly dishonest anti-Pelosi editorial. Blaming her for being "rich". The typical rightwing finger-pointing. As if all wealthy people have to be selfish misers unwilling to pay their fair share of taxes to help our country. When I was growing up, my father and others like him saw paying taxes as their duty to their country, no less important than serving in the military. My father never even tried to cheat on his taxes. He paid what he had to pay and did so without bitterness. This is the kind of real patriotism we need. So when rich people like Pelosi don't mind paying a bit more to help out that should be applauded, not attacked.
