Why don't you move to Venezuela and live like Venezuelans do? If you love Chavez so much please... go ahead and get real. I know what I mean. I live in Colombia and life here is much better than in Venezuela. I have more chances to reach an old age alive in Colombia compared to Venezuela!<br /><br />At least take a trip to Barinas, Chavez's home state. Everybody there know that what Incog states in his article is actually true and accurate. I lived 20 years in Venezuela and I know it's true.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12646139324156217562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-83802017178981837562008-05-27T23:48:00.000-04:002008-05-27T23:48:00.000-04:00DARREN: Well, Bush won handily as governor of Tex...DARREN: Well, Bush won handily as governor of Texas, as did Jeb in Florida...

Well, probably a better position for him.<BR/>as for Chaburro's (:-)) mum, how sickening. nouveau riche at it's most fulsome.<BR/><BR/>DAVIDB: Oy, please. Though you might not agree, all the Bush clan were duly elected. Probably not so with little man Chavez. Why don'[t you move to Venezuela David, I'm sure Chavez would have a special place for you in his cabinet. God save us from twits like you, who revere Chavez.<BR/><BR/>KAREN: Thanks Karen.

He beat, handily, Ann Richards, for his first term and for his second term received record numbers of votes from all segments of society - especially the Hispanic voters of the state. <BR/><BR/>Bush derangement runs rampant. <BR/><BR/>The government of Venezuela was barely running smoothly when we lived there in 1992. We had daily electrical outages for several hours at a time and no drinkable running water out of the faucets. We were not in Caracus but in a fairly good sized city. This was before Chavez. Now, the socialism runs full force. Right into the ground.<BR/><BR/>Good post, Incog.Karen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692791436106987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-87142018864789173302008-05-18T15:11:00.000-04:002008-05-18T15:11:00.000-04:00I wouldn't be quick to accuse Chavez of nepotism. ...I wouldn't be quick to accuse Chavez of nepotism. Some of the stuff you wrote does raise a red flag, but let's take a closer look.<BR/><BR/>One of Chavez' brothers was elected mayor of Chavez' home town, and his father is governor of the surrounding thate of Barinas. So what?<BR/><BR/>For crying, if the brother of a popular prsident runs for mayor of some tiny, poverty-stricken village, don't you think he's going to get some attention? Ditto for his father.<BR/><BR/>More troubling are the relatives who were appointed. But it's still a bit presumptuous to automatically assume nepotism.<BR/><BR/>Even if it is an example of nepotism, might it be excusable? Chavez is in a very complex and dangerous situation. Having survived a coup, he would surely like to surround himself with people he can trust. End of story.<BR/><BR/>On another note, it's hypocritical for right-wingers to accuse Chavez of nepotism, when the Bush clan is driving the U.S. into the ground.<BR/><BR/>George W. Dumbass' father served as head of the CIA, then President. Dumbya was appointed Governor of Texas, then pResident. Jeb Bush was Governor of Florida.<BR/><BR/>Don't tell me there's no nepotism involved there.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, please check out my new website, <A HREF="http://www.viva-chavez.com" REL="nofollow">Viva Chavez!</A>. I'm also running for public office and am using my campaign to support Chavez.

Nice report...what a conscientious little group,eh? Nice reporting, Incognito!<BR/>My stepdaughter is in Caracas a LOT. She does business with young entrepreneurs there who are getting desperate realizing their businesses they've worked so hard for may be nationalized. And, they miss the hotels and shops which have closed because so many middle class and upper class Venezuelans have had to flee (roughly 2 million) and nobody's buying anything anymore or staying in hotels! These young business people despise Chavez and I asked her to please ask the poor, too, if she had a chance. She talked to taxi drivers who feel the same way, they wish he'd disappear. I thought the poorer there would like his supposed 'handouts', but not everyone does. A Communist poster at Frontpage.mag posted that he'd been at the last 'election' as an observer and said he was ashamed of the communists in Venezuela because he'd seen the election was rigged! He was supposed to watch for illegalities and found it totally illegal (at least the little communist was honest and I complimented him for that!)<BR/>WHat a mess of a country. <BR/>Thanks for this info. I had NO idea it was such a FAMILY MESS.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.com
