Chavez' Surprise for Bush
Offering to Sell Cheap Oil to America's Poor
by Juan Gonzalez

Worried about the skyrocketing cost of gasoline and heating oil this winter? Well, Hugo Chavez, the firebrand president of oil-rich Venezuela, wants to help.

Chavez, a former army officer twice elected president in huge landslides, has become a target of the Bush administration for his radical social policies. Last month, right-wing evangelist Pat Robertson openly urged his assassination. But now Chavez is firing back at Bush and Robertson with a surprise weapon - cheap oil for America's poor.

2. I SOOOOOOOO Hope Chavez has some

GREAT protection. He is messing with the money-gluttons now, who have to be less then happy with him.

[rateyes]

3. If Chavez can get prices down to $1.00 a gallon

at all the Conoco stations...he will end up a damned hero. You've got to say one thing about the guy, he knows how to play politics. Viva Chavez!!

Edit to add: And a real leader of a president, knowing the fact that the US bailed Saudi Arabia and Kuwait out of some DEEP DOO DOO, back in 1991, would be using political pressure on those countries to effing giving away oil to us. At least say, "if you don't sell to us for $30.00 a barrell, next time you need our blood to save your damned oil-fields you can F**K OFF---even if we have to start riding bicycles to work in the USA.

5. Talk is cheap Chavez

I hope you come through with your pledge. It's just that I'll believe it when I see it.

"Out of every 100 cars I saw on the road, 99 had only one person in the car. "These people were using up fuel," he said. "They were polluting the environment. This planet cannot sustain that mode of life." - Maybe he can build us some mass transportation systems?

7. How poor do ya have to be?

Just kidding..I'm sure they're are tons more poor than I ..and I'm so happy that Chavez is willing to help them.
