Two Nuts, Same Sack: Chavez and Kucinich

What do Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and U.S. wanna-be dictator Dennis Kucinich have in common? They both want 16 year old kids to vote, they both favor a heightened state role in the economy, they both love Danny Glover movies, and they're both widely hated in Cleveland. Roman Catholic church leaders and rights groups in Venezuela on Friday denounced sweeping constitutional reforms pushed by President Hugo Chavez as a threat to civil liberties that hand too much power to the state. Chavez's proposed amendments include removing presidential term limits; lowering the voting age to 16; boosting the state role in the economy; and allowing private property while also defining a new concept of social property.

Dennis Kucinich said he backs a nationwide ban on public smoking, and opined that eighteen-year-olds should be allowed to drink legally, and that sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to vote."
