2. The memo went only to Repugs and oil executives
We should hate him because he has oil and just made a deal with China to supply it with oil. Everyone knows it belongs to us.
:sarcasm:

9. so let me get this straight
Hes got oil, and the capitalist (supposedly) Rethugs are angry that he is selling it to the highest bidder???? So he acts as a capitalist, plays the free market to sell his oil, yet he is a commie loving leftists??? :wtf:

16. But does he sell to the highest bidder?
Haven't you heard he wants to help out the American poor with cheaper gas? He's undermining our entire value system.

21. You are thinking for yourself? Shame!
That's the memo we all failed to get. We are suppose to just believe the Moran in chief, and no asking questions.

3. He's got OIL!!! and so does Iran by the way
so if you're holding on to any oil, keep it a secret because the 'Crawford Creep' will be knocking on your door too!

8. he helps the poor


Because he's helping the poor. Taking land from the rich (5% of the people own 80% of the land) and giving it to the poor. (83% of the population live below the poverty level).

He's also trying to get more money from the vast oil reserves. Most of the money goes out of the country.

11. because he has oil
Robertson actually said as much, though not directly of course, but he did mention oil. Also Chavez is wrecking the economy of Venezuela; the 17% growth recently is obviously not good enough.

Economic invasion is clearly not an option with Chavez in power, and a coup is not going to work anymore. The next option is assassination. If that fails: war. Seriously, it works like that every time.

15. IIRC we(the U.S.) tried once to sponsor a coup and it
failed. The people in Venezuela apparently love Chavez, so we need to keep our noses out of it...

13. He's a LIBERAL... and he has 'our' oil... He's like an evil OREO!
"Creamy light crude oil goodness on the inside, black chocolately evil liberalness on the outside..." You can almost hear W wet his pants when he thinks about all that oil... so close, yet so far...

:sarcasm:
Why does Chavez hate our freedom to come and take his oil?

14. Oil industry insiders and rich people
hate him with a passion. Mainly because he is a man of the 'people' and has done a lot of good for the poor people of Venezuela. That is why he keeps getting elected by huge margins. The poor people love him.
