Bush is a democrat

I don't know DT. You seem to use the word 'democrat' to mean "anything you don't like". If it's bad, no mater what the form, it must be democrat, by definition. Large, spendthrift, reckless, crony-driven and intrusive? Democrat. Smaller, frugal, cautious, international capitalist and distant? Democrat. You also said the same thing about the press during the Clinton administration - it didn't work the way you wanted. So though it was in OBVIOUS collusion with the republican agenda, you called it Democrat.
You've got to stop redefining words to suit your idée fixee.

Well how we know that Chavez agreed with you. I mean did he say "You devil" while smirking, winking and tapping Bush on the chin as in "You are the man". Or did he see Bush, point at him and run screaming from the room yelling SATAN?
Sorry, been wondering this since I saw the headline on the net - Chavez calls Bush devil

Regardless of what he said, I don't know if I'd ever admit to being on any "side" Hugo Chavez is on. That man's a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

As I mentioned in a different thread, this bit of complete NONSENSE is headlined - using the exact same words - in every US news carrier. Amazing. The independent fourth estate all in synch and in chorus on this one item.
pisses me off

Of course no one gets that it's propaganda.
People, y'all gotta stop thinking of the press as anything other than mouthpieces for varioous officials. Do you all still think reporters actually investigate anything?? NOPE! They sit in some conference room (or in the Green Zone) and get the latest poop from the Press Scy/ General/ Head Dog Catcher. That means that the WH controls thru selection.
We should have a thread:
And now, NOT in the news today!
For example, how's Bolivia doing with their natural gas nationalization? What's the latest in Peru? And what about that poppy crop in Afghnanistan? I've heard its a big one!
Instead, we get "Woman bites dog" and "Hagritay's dad dead" and "We're promoting democracy (snicker) in Iraq".

How about this for news?

European scientists voiced shock today as they viewed pictures which showed Arctic ice cover had disappeared so much last month that a ship could sail unhindered from Europe's most northerly outpost to the North Pole.

Sorry, but just for the record, Chavez is not the boogeyman. Being opposed the US doesn't make one evil. He was Democratically elected and has done some great things for his country.
For example:
Quote:
During Chávez's presidency from 1999 to 2004, per-capita GDP dropped 1–2 %, but with the help of rising oil prices, the end of the oil strike, and strong consumption growth, recent economic activity under Chávez has been robust. GDP growth rates were 18% in 2004, 9% in 2005, and 9.6% in the first half of 2006, with the private sector growing at a 10.3% clip. From 2004 to the first half of 2006, non-petroleum sectors of the economy showed growth rates greater than 10%. Datos reports real income grew by 137% between 2003 and Q1 2006. Official poverty figures dropped by 4.9%.

So, he hates the US. That doesn't make him considerably different from 90% of other Third World leaders. And it's not like we don't deserve their contempt. Check out how US oil companies exploited Venezuela's natural resources for billions of dollars and payed less than 1% of that back in taxes. Very simular circumstances exist in Africa and we will reap what we sow.
Maybe he is bat-shit crazy, but so is our guy and he hasn't produced these kind of results...
