Venezuela's election fair?

Obama administration says Venezuelan election was fair, hmmm. U.S. State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid noted “troubling reports of intimidation”, but added, “for the most part this was a process that was fully consistent with democratic process”. Once again, hmmm.

Lets take a look at the “democratic process” employed by Venezuela. State workers threatened with loss of employment if they vote against the measure. Recipients of government assistance threatened with loss of government aid if they vote against the measure. Hmmm, how do they know what an individual voted for, or against? When Chavez gives a six-hour speech it MUST be carried on EVERY station, in it’s entirety. Chavez used these speeches to predict to his subjects, that’s what they are, that calamity will happen without him as president.

The Democrats and Liberals, (for the moment we’ll assume that they are different groups) that now run our country are in favor of an “open card check” when employees of a company vote whether or not to go union. Does this mean when I vote NO, that I will get a visit from a few of Tony Soprano’s thugs? Remember, these are the same people that want you to get a “Federal Firearms ID”, are against a federal “Real ID”, and also whine and complain about showing ANY ID when it comes to voting. I’m pretty sure that Americans did not miss a single word uttered by Obama during his campaign, what with the “Mainstream Media” being wholly complicate in their desire to cover the “Story of the Century”, black man elected president. Would they have shown the same level of interest if Colin Powell were running? Add to this the amount of money that Obama had at his disposal after first agreeing to use public funding and then reneging on his promise; (get used to this one) and I guess they have a point. Obama plays the “fear card” if he is not elected.

I guess they’re right. In the future, look for American elections to be run as democratically as those of Venezuela, one voice, one message, and one view. Fairness doctrine, please.
