Actually its not, its facts, from the OAS, IMF and independant observers, as well as Spanish economists who calcualted Venezuelan growth rates to rise in 2008. Yes there are food shortages, largely artificial shortages by companies that are illegally hoarding and speculating, as well as that Venezuelans are eating more than ever before with income they have never had before, along with the rise in world food prices (up 40%) and cereal grains up 41% along with the farmers strike in Argentina.

I believe in Hugo Chavez, he fight for poor people, not a dictator. the purpose of unlimited election is for Venezuela people and they chose Chavez..

[fastfonz]

also.. presidential democracies.. not parliamentary democracies (like Europe).. have in their majority term limits. PM have a vote of no confidence system.. please dont compare apples and oranges.

[fastfonz]

yeah.. this shit is so biased.. Chavez rules by decree.. there is no separation of powers.. and he called it a victory of shit. Honestly, maybe the opposition media is biased, but this shit is not any better.

[waltermh111]

you say so, yet there are many in venuezala who would disagree with you. Why are you better then the majority?

[DoubleA79]

I agree that people who don't live in Vzla should stop being so smug and just shut up. I lived there for over 3 years, and it's a complete mess under this ridiculous "revolution".

JoseMP55555, let me ask YOU again what exactly do you have against Hugo Chavez and can you prove it.

Im really tired of people who are very loud but very in need of a fact check.

so can you please elaborate your point?

[SocialistaTribalista]

alright sir, what exactly do you have against Chavez, explain clearly.

[JoseMP55555]

man this program is so full of bullshit. I wish those guys speaking there in favor of Chavez would come to Venezuela and see for themselves the disaster he is making in this country. Al Jazeera biased piece of shit network. No wonder why nobody sees this network... manipulation after manipulation.

[JoseMP55555]

what an idiot, theres more poor people now than before, and theres more crime, corruption, poverty and misery. Nothing works now. All because of chavez and his dirty corrupted government.

[JoseMP55555]

fuck chavez... he has destroyed Venezuela and those who support him who dont live here in Venezuela should shut up. He doesnt care about poor people, he is a corrupt bastard who only cares about him and his new rich family. Take a look at his family now, one of the richest of Venezuela.
