This reporter has been told that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that has "entered the end stage". The information and the quote come from a highly respected source close to Chavez and who is in a position to know his medical condition and history. This source says the prognosis is dire and that Chavez is now not expected to live "more than a couple of months at most." Chavez is running for re-elec tion in Venezuela but several sources--including the one who revealed the exact kind of cancer-- have told me that they believe it is doubtful the dictator will live to see the results.

A chance for the people to get out from under him and that system.

It will be interesting...Id bet most venezuelans wont be unhappy hes gone
 
That's great news. I hope he suffers.
 
who is the next? ( I ask the ones who dislike chavez)
 
lol wtf is this
Face it thats what Chavez is. If he wasnt a dictator he wouldnt have removed term limits. I mean what non-dictator supports the ending of term limits?

Its amazing how socialists of all types rally behind Chavez without realizing how he is destroying any hope of anyone supporting socialism. I mean come on his hero is Castro, who was nothing more than a puppet of the Soviet's. ANd then there is Chavez's lies and screwy statements that mirror the screwy crap that Castro says. Chavez just really has no creditably as a socialist since he made fortunes since taking office. The fact that he has retained office and has not let anyone else take office speaks volumes. Plus Chavez plans on passing his power on to his brother when he dies. Just like Castro. Where is the democracy in that? Seriously how can elected president pass their office off to their relative? What kind of BS is that?

LOLOL he's been voted and revoted and revoted like 8 times. Term limits have absolutely nothing to do with anything.
 
I cannot say I will be upset when he is gone.
 
stay classy

Cluless Libs like you and Sean Penn may love this ruthless dictator but I am a man of class because I don't murder innocent people like this Chavez scum.

It's utterly pathetic that you grieve for him.
 
They were among the most closely monitored elections in the world...


Chavez and Putins elections are both just as wrought with fraud...I believe theres been plenty of reporting on the fraud in venezuelan elections since chavez has been in office.

By whom? The guys is just another tired Marxist wannabee who's idea of the ideal world leader is Fidel Castro and Khadafy. Venezuela will be far better off without these ancient
collectivist 'revolutionaries' ruining the country.

god damn him....viva capitalism:mrgreen:
 

Why don't you do your own damn research if you're so interested in learning that? Just do a quick google ffs. I can't be arsed to spoon feed you every single obvious fact, take some responsibility for your own ignorance for once.
 
So will the Muslim Brotherhood take over here, too?

That wasn't his point at all. Expressing hope that someone will suffer is not the same as grieving. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, etc.

Term limits mean nothing? Even wiki gets it. When term limits are found in presidential and semi-presidential systems they act as a method to curb the potential for monopoly, where a leader effectively becomes "president for life".

ANd you completely ignored this:Adán Chávez: La salida electoral no es la única vía : Noticiero Digital "The revolution was born in time and did bicentennial through elections and we want to go out there, allowing a peaceful building Bolivarian socialism, but aware of the dangers that beset us and the enemy does not rest, we can not forget how authentic revolutionaries, other methods of struggle. "adan chavez is Hugos big brother. Democracy my ass.

from 1953 until his death in 2010, robert byrd was a congressional representative (three terms) and senator, the balance
so there is no opposition to a person being a re-elected representative for life ... unless it is chavez?
good thing hypocrisy is not fattening otherwise a bunch of folks would need to diet

and he is responsible for his brother's pronouncements in what way?
 
It appears Chavez has already prepared for the worst. However, there will be a battle for leadership should he die.

If Chávez were to die or become incapacitated, "a fragmentation of the movement" would likely occur. In the immediate aftermath of such an incident, Vice President Elías Jaua would take power, according to the constitution. Perhaps as an indication that Chávez is preparing for the worst, he formed a nine-member State Council earlier this month, headed by Jaua, to assist him with executive duties. The nine "would be able to draw upon a broader leadership base and carry more authority" in Chávez's absence, Wilpert said.

But with elections on the horizon, the Socialists' hold on power would be threatened without Chávez heading the party.

The following is a list of possible successors through the electoral process.

Henrique Capriles of the center-right Justice First party, but Capriles has been building momentum and could perform well against a candidate less established than Chávez.
Jaua, as Chávez's immediate successor, is one of the top candidates, though he is viewed as more of an administrator than a leader. Chávez appointed Jaua, 43, vice president in 2010; he served as Minister of Agriculture before then. Having been a university professor, Jaua's background is academic, and while he is viewed as an intellectual, he lacks the charisma and oratory skills to be a statesman on par with Chávez.
Diosdado Cabello, the current Speaker of the National Assembly...who has focused on democratization in Venezuela.
Foreign Affairs Minister Nicolás Maduro, 50, who started off as a bus driver and became a labor union leader...Maduro's politics align very closely with Chávez's.
José Vicente Rangel, 82, a former vice president (2002 to 2005)...Ideologically, he is similar to Chávez.
Lastly, there is Chávez's elder brother, Adán Chávez, 59. Currently the governor of the Venezuelan state of Barinas, Adán, a former physics professor, has a long history of political activity, with views often considered even more radical than his brother's.

Those fumes of sulfur he inhaled when got on the podium a day after El Diablo at the UN must have infected him with the cancer.
