CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has lost his lead eight days before a referendum on ending his term limit, an independent pollster said on Saturday, in a swing in voter sentiment against the Cuba ally.



So, of course, he says


Only a 'Traitor' Will Vote No (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8T3M1P00&show_article=1)

He who says he supports Chavez but votes 'no' is a traitor, a true traitor," the president told an arena packed with red-clad supporters. "He's against me, against the revolution and against the people."




THAT's the democratic spirit!


Typical.

"He's against me, against the revolution and against the people." --Huge Asshole Chavez, from Maggie_T's link




Wolf Counsel's translation--

"He's against a known asshole, against his con game, and against his stooges."

[Maggie_T]

Therefore, he's a traitor. ;)

Sounds to me like he's rationalizing stealing the election - for the good of the people and the revolution, doncha know!

Chavez will resort to violence before he'll surrender office. He's a standard communist -- what he can't win at the polls he'll kill if he has to.

This poll's sampling forgot to include one important segment of Venezuelan voters..

Ain't that Tommy Cruise/Cruz there in front?!?

an independent pollsterSo it's invalid. Independent polls don't take into account the election fixing by Chavez officials. Independent polls sample how the people may vote. The 'official' results are what the Chavex officials actually report after the referendum. Those are often not the same thing.

Why the hell is the SOB concerned? He's a fugging dictator. Who's going to vote him out? No doubt the ballot will be adapted from this one used during Saddam's regime.
