CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has lost his lead eight days before a referendum on ending his term limit, an independent pollster said on Saturday, in a swing in voter sentiment against the Cuba ally.Forty-nine percent of likely voters oppose Chavez’s proposed raft of constitutional changes to expand his powers, compared with 39 percent in favor, a survey by respected pollster Datanalisis showed.

Just weeks ago, Chavez had a 10-point lead for his proposed changes in the OPEC nation that must be approved in a referendum, the polling company said.

FYI, Comrade Chavez has this base covered. What if he looses? Well, he’ll just have those that oppose him labeled arbitrarily as “traitors”.

President Hugo Chavez warned his supporters on Friday that anyone voting against his proposed constitutional changes would be a “traitor,” rallying his political base before a referendum that would let him seek unlimited re-election in 2012 and beyond.Brandishing a little red book listing his desired 69 revisions to Venezuela’s charter, Chavez exhorted his backers to redouble their efforts toward a victorious “yes” vote in the Dec. 2 ballot.

“He who says he supports Chavez but votes ‘no’ is a traitor, a true traitor,” the president told an arena packed with red-clad supporters. “He’s against me, against the revolution and against the people.”

And we all know what happens to “traitors” right?

Once these “traitors” are taken care of, he’ll probably just call for a re-vote. After all, power is what it’s all about. And without power, Chavez’s life is meaningless.

    In America those that fight against liberty and our Constitution are traitors. In Venezuela, if you don’t want a dictator for life you are a traitor. Well - that’s the way the left in the States here wishes it were too.
