Chavez was for the poor.....that's why he made so many people poor and the poor poorer.


Sounds like a Dumbocrap maintaining it's base.

I would sort of like to go back to Caracas just to see if that steep mountainside across from the airport, covered with hundreds (or thousands) of tiny, trash-covered huts, looks any different than it did pre-Hugo.

But no. For the foreseeable future, there's no excuse for a civilized person to visit Venezuela.

It's a brilliant strategy really.  The Democrats agenda's keep you poor all while claiming to champion for the poor to get the poor's vote.  Just like they do with all their voting blocks.  It sounds to me like Chavez learned a lot from the D's.
