MORE Hillary ties to right wing South American governments......Carville!
James Carville, another name added to this growing list of Hillary employees and confidants who actively support Right Wing corporate Oligarchs in South America. These are the same governments and characters closely supported by Bush and the Republicans.

James Carville worked with the Bush supported Right Wing opposition to overthrow the widely popular and democraticly elected Populist President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
President Chavez agressively opposes the current Free Trade scams that American ProCorporate administrations have attempted to force on South American countries.


"Carville told Lehrer, “I’ve worked in Venezuela and I would be very reluctant to call Chávez a democrat.” What Carville didn’t say was that he worked in Venezuela as an advisor to Venezuelan opposition groups leading an economically devastating strike by managers of the national oil company in an effort to destabilize the government (Washington Post, 1/20/03)."

http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3009




"As the Washington Post's Scott Wilson reported, prominent members of the Venezuelan opposition traveled to Washington in January 2003 and began consulting informally with Democratic Party whore-of-convenience James Carville. Soon thereafter, the Democratic Party polling firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research (GQR)_the company of Carville's fellow whore and Clintonite pollster Stanley Greenberg_popped up in Venezuela working on behalf of the opposition."

http://www.counterpunch.org/delacour08072004.html



"Carville’s most recent foray into anti-democratic politics is in Venezuela, where he has been hired by Manuel Rosales, darling of the Bush anti-Chavez faction, who is opposing President Hugo Chavez in Venezuela’s December, 2006 election. At last count, Chavez was ahead of Rosales in the polls by a 22% (35% of likely voters) lead.

Carville’s favorite slogan, “It’s the economy, stupid”, will hardly work in Venezuela, where the economy is booming — growing at 12% a year. In addition, Chavez has brought healthcare, literacy, low cost food and job training to the millions of Venezuela who had access to none of these prior to Chavez’s first election in 1998."

For those needing a review of the latest exploding scandal:

*Bill Clinton's ties to Colombian Free Trade deal
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/08/bill-clintons-ties-to-col_n_95651.html

*Howard Wolfson, chief Hillary Campaign Strategist, lobbying for Free Trade with Bush supported Right Wing Colombian government
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9433.html

*Mark Penn, Hillary Campaign Spokesman, lobbys for Free Trade Deal with Colombian government. Hillary says she opposes this deal.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/04/mark-penn-lobbies-colombi_n_95019.html


It is painfully clear that the Clintons (DLC) work for The Ownership Society, and have few concerns for those who Work for a Living!


The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

1. The Documentary "Brand in Crisis" exposes James Carville's treachery in Bolivia.
James Carville is just as wicked as George W. Bush.

Anyone Democrat who knows about what evil he did in Bolivia is compelled to despise this sick sack of shit.

Yes, I said it: James Carville is a wicked as George W. Bush.

5. And why Carville was sabotaging Ohio Dem voters on election night 2004 - he works for the fascists
Bush-Clinton-Bush Inc and they needed the way cleared for Hillary2008 to come in and continue the protection of the fascist agenda into the next decade just as Bill did for Poppy throughout the 90s.

4. Frank Luntz (the Dunce) was down there too ...
The "New World Order" at work ... To money-grubbing bottom-feeder consultants like these,
the U.S. isn't the limit anymore -- they can ply their trade all over the world ...

6. If I remember correctly, during the 2000 Florida debacle, Carville...
...was working on a political campaign in Panama. Then Carville later had the nerve to write a book imploring liberals to be more activist.

Yeah, Jim, where were YOU when Bush Jr was stealing the election? You were deadly silent, when we needed you the most.

13. The "Chavez Nightmare".
He was elected & re-elected through transparent, internationally monitored open elections.

Quick Chavez review.

Hugo Chavez is using a percentage of the profits from Global Extraction Corporations mining Venezuela's natural resources to:
*Heal the Sick

*Clothe the Naked

*Feed the Hungry

*Shelter the Homeless

*Educate the Ignorant

*Help other South American countries pay off usurious IMF loans collateralized by their natural resources.

*Give voice to the disenfranchised

*Give unused land to the peasant farmers


YES!
I can see why you would call him a nightmare.

Venezuela belongs to the Venezuelans.
Who they choose as their leader through open, transparent elections is none of our business.

The good news (not reported in the US) is that the Bolivarian Reforms are spreading throughout South America as the little people vote out their old, corrupt, US Puppet, right wing, Corporate Bribed, oligarchs.

VIVA Democracy!
