Well they don’t need to show an ID so I guess they can.

Never been out of the country. Never spoken to a refugee. Never read a real newspaper. No perspective whatsoever on how the US stacks up against the rest of the world.
Rob Rogers represents the typical undecided voter.
Party on, Rob!

You mean Birch, right? But given what the
birthers claim you might have been making
a funny joke…

By definition you can only elect a brutal dictator once, after that the elections are worthless. Since President Chavez won with only 10% over his opponent he can’t be that brutal or dictatorial. Look at Belarus, there the president / dictator gets 99% of the vote, as it should be in order to show to the world how much he is “loved”…

Shouldn’t the guy with the birther hat be saying “Kenyan President?”

Better than a brutal capitalist dictator. The USA needs a viable Socialist party like they have in Europe.
capitalism and communism are opposite sides of the same coin.
And no, Socialism and communism are NOT the same thing, they are totally different.
♫
Socialism: having a good safety net and keeping big business and wall street on a leash.
♫
capitalism: make as much money as you can as fast as you can and the public be damned.
♫
communisn: big brother knows and decides what’s best for the people and the public be damned.

Asking people to show an ID or denying men and women in war the right to vote. Which is worse?

Sounds like a good reason for voter ID to me! Has anyone checked to see if Chavez voted here? Somehow I wouldn’t doubt it.

Naw, the tea baggers changed that…remember their slogan “We can change it”. For them history is as flexible as the truth.
