Vzla: Chavez playing with fire

According to this report Chavez could be taking Venezuela down the road to madness. Let us assume that Chavez succeeds, what does he intend for Guyana?
The directors of the National Electoral Council are playing with fire and they might get badly burned… The word is that Venezuela’s electoral authorities intend to invalidate about 1 million signatures or more specifically those contained in “planillas planas.” The problem stems from the fact that many people were ‘helped’ during the signature drive by those who were taking active part in the process, namely volunteers or appointees from political parties registered with the CNE. These ‘helpers’ filled the forms with details of individuals who in turn signed and placed fingerprints in the said form.

The Organic Law of the Electoral Power does not contain provisions for such invalidations, nor are they contemplated in the Organic Law of Suffrage and Political Participation neither in the Constitution. So these eunuchs from the CNE, exhibiting outstanding legislative capacities that could well be the envy of the most progressive and advanced legislators of the planet, proclaim each day new rules, new validation methods, they discover unsung forms of fraud, mind you what an extraordinary capacity they have got to uncover the machinations of the people who legally and constitutionally submitted their requests for the recall. The criminal at the presidency -a.k.a. Hugo Chavez- wastes no time in uttering insults, to deviate attention, to pretty much everyone; it’s really surprising that Eminem has escaped unscathed from his rants.
