Chavez wins!

So, freedom really does die to thunderous applause. Hugo Chavez has apparently won a referendum to remove term limits from the Venezuelan Constitution with 54 percent voting with him. So, Democracy works. Well, yes it does, but so does fascism and that's the kind of dictatorship Chavez is setting up. And what does he want to do you ask? Well, he has clearly stated that he wants to use his popularity and power to bring about a socialist revolution for Venezuela. Hmm... gotta wonder how Democracy is working when people voluntarily elect someone who clearly states their goals as being socialist in nature, which succeeds at only one thing historically. Loss of personal freedom. Oh wait, that happened in this country recently too. God help us all.

What good are term limit laws that can be repealed with a simple majority?
