Some folks, on the other hand, went into hysterics about the idea of postponing the election, as though anyone in any position of authority would take such a suggestion seriously.
As for Bush being or not being a conservative, who cares? Congress is spending like a bunch of drunken sailors, that's where change needs to happen. All I know is that I would rather have Bush for his many faults than that pedantic, pompous ass Al Gore or that clueless elitist snob John Kerry. What a couple of fucknuts the Democrats nominated. Better to have made Joe Lieberman the nominee in 2000, but of course, he can't even get the nomination for his own Senate seat anymore, so unhinged has the Democratic base become. I thought we were arguing about politics, but if you want to talk economics, ok. Chavez has eroded private property rights, investment capital is fleeing Venezuela in droves, the state-owned oil conglomerate is ruining the country's primary source of external trade income, and the country is experiencing a massive brain drain as educated, successful people flee for more hospitable locales. In short, the economic picture in Venezuela sucks, and it is all Chavez' fault.
