Reply #11: Even if the Zelaya had sought to remove the term limits policy [View All]

[Ken Burch]

(And there was nothing in the referendum that actually called for that, btw), this does NOT equate with seeking to be "president-for-life". In contemporary Latin American politics, the "president-for-life" claim is code for "How dare a left-of-center president actually have enough power to defend the poor and the workers and prevent we, the rich, from being the true rulers of the continent?"
The "president-for-life" accusation is simply the wealthy and the generals complaining because a people's politician actually dares to stand up to them.
