These guys are really earning their pay.


"We in the National Assembly will not waver in granting President Chavez an enabling law so he can quickly and urgently set up the framework for resolving the grave problems we have," said congressional Vice-President Roberto Hernandez.

Chavez has targeted the oil industry and utilities, affecting many foreign owners and shareholders.

The opposition accuses Chavez of being a tyrant in the making, taking a slow-burning approach to following Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Chavez argues he will always tolerate opposition and will step down if he loses an election.

Opposition politician and newspaper editor Teodoro Petkoff on Tuesday wrote an editorial in his Tal Cual newspaper drawing parallels between the enabling law and Cuban Communism and European fascism in the 1930s.

Hernandez, of the Venezuelan Communist Party, rebuffed such charges.

"When our enemies say we are granting dictatorial powers to Chavez, they know that they are lying," he said.

2. Chavez is a disappointment. I'm sure Bush is Jealous.

Chavez circumventing their Democracy and their Constitution to speed up reforms to even the playing field between poor and rich with socialists polices, by taking on dictatorial type powers by decree is wrong.

Maybe Bush and Chavez are not so different after all.
