I was just imagining what it would be like to have Chavez for President. Just think:
For one thing, since he shuts down opposition news shows, Fox news and those shows like Limbaugh and Hannity would be gone (and maybe even thrown in jail). So no more Fox News!
He'd likely have Cindy Sheehan in the cabinent, or maybe as vice-president. Perhaps Cindy would take over Pelosi's seat.
He's called Bush the devil, so I imagine Bush and Cheney would be thrown in jail, if not executed.
He'd nationalize most of the corporations, and at least pretend to give much of the assets to the poor, helpless, needy.
And if any of the Republicans tried to complain, or demonstrate, he'd send out his troops to enforce the peace. Plus, he'd make sure they would never win an election again!
He certainly wouldn't have troops in Iraq, and there's no question of fighting Iran.
So let's see--Bush and Cheney, Fox News and Limbaugh gone. No more Republicans allowed to be elected or even to be in office. Corporations Nationalized and wealth redistributed. I think he'd remove evangelicals from the political sphere as well, but I don't know about that. Immigration--he'd open the borders wide.
I know, he isn't eligible to run since he's not a citizen of the US; but what do you think--does he sound like your dream candidate, or would you join the Republicans in rejecting him?
