Chavez worried about McCain

Reuters:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a socialist and fierce U.S. critic, warned on Tuesday that relations with Washington could worsen if Republican candidate John McCain wins this year's presidential election.

Chavez said he hopes the United States and Venezuela can work better together when his ideological foe, U.S. President George W. Bush, leaves the White House next year, but he said McCain seemed "warlike."

"Sometimes one says, 'worse than Bush is impossible,' but we don't know," Chavez told foreign correspondents. "McCain also seems to be a man of war."

Chavez -- who has called Bush "the devil", "a donkey" and 'Mr Danger" -- accuses the United States of having imperial designs in Latin America and says the White House has plotted his overthrow.

McCain calls Chavez a dictator who wants to emulate retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

I think McCain has also called Chavez a "nut" during one of his straight talk moments. Chavez reaction to McCain is certainly another good reason to vote for the Republican. The US does not really need any imperialist designs on Venezuela. Chavez is doing a first rate job of destroying it from within. Socialism is wrecking the economy and Chavez is wasting money on hardware he does not need and investments in ruing other countries with socialism. Without Venezuela's oil Chavez would be the Mugabe of South America.
