    Obama gets bashed a lot round these parts, and so does Chavez if you bring him up.

    But how about it - would you prefer a charismatic 'tough guy' Leftist such as Chavez, or would you stick with more Liberal Obama - assuming it were a 2 horse race?

    My money would be on Chavez.

    Obama over Chavez. Chavez deserved the noose, Obama just to lose.

    Why is it germane to compare two different strains of manure?

    well, because people call Obama a Marxist, when he is nothing of the sort - Chavez, however, was much closer to that way of thinking, and most in his country view him as a hero.

    So, it seems that Obama needs to move more to the left - to enervate the masses!

    Would you prefer a local person fighting for local people, or a foreigner fighting for the immigrants?

    So you think of the two choices you provided that either one gives a crap about a single regular citizen in their country?:confusion:

    They both share a 'government needs to wield all the power' ideology, your support and lack of understanding the destruction of such ideology/government gives people like Chavez/Obama what they are after which is dumbing down the public and keeping themselves and those close to them with power and wealth. You and every other person in the county is nothing more then a worthless peon at that point who can easily be bought at election time with a speech and a few extra dollars/benefits that allow you to avoid self responsibility.

    This is like asking if you'd rather be punched in the face or kicked in the balls. There's not really a right answer.

    Chavez. He could do less damage as a dead man than Obama does alive.

    These replies are telling me a lot about the level of bias among conservatives here (or complete ignorance of politics).

    So, you'd rather have nationalized industries than what Obama has done as president? Cool.

    A move to the left might serve to enervate progressives but it would only further anger and energize the right.

    Neither, this is less about 'toughness' and more about effectiveness, and Leftism is flawed both internationally and here at Home. Both seek to rob the collective of their opportunities and make it a country of 'lessers' to justify the wealth concentrated at the top.

    That's the grand illusion of the Left, that the 'elite' don't exist. In reality, it's the Elite of the Left that'll be allowed to retain their wealth.

    Yes there would.

    Because Chavez is a virtual Marxist, whereas Obama is a Liberal.

    I thought you were a Libertarian, so why the heck would you want Pinochet or Franco?

    As a right winger, I would much rather have Obama in office than Chavez. Obama isn't quite as leftist as Chavez.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Your reply shows me your level of ignorance. You refuse to recognize that Dixon's point was that he would rather have a dead leftist in office than a live leftist.

    Hmmm... turdburger or crapsammich? That's a tough one. Is 'move to Canada' a choice?
