Rosales: The World Has Given Hugo Chavez A Democratic Whipping
VCrisis ^ | 16 Oct 2006 | Aleksander Boyd

Caracas 16.10.06 | Imagine abject poverty. Imagine people scavenging for food on stinking rubbish piles. Now try and imagine a very poor person in such a setting saying "and to top it all off he is losing the UN vote to Guatemala..." Such is the surreality of this country. Hugo Chavez lost the vote today, and as Manuel Rosales aptly said moments ago in Montalban (west Caracas) Venezuela did not lose anything, rather it was Hugo Chavez who received today a democratic whipping in spite of having wasted millions in lobbying and outright vote-buying.

You can't go into a city or village in the world and paint a picture of abject poverty if that's your intention.

We see it here with reports on the "homeless" time and time again.

Chavez is a nut but you can put together a photojournalists "diary" of poverty like this in any nation on Earth.

Yep, except that it didn't exist like this before Chavez.

I wish Alek would go take photos of Venezuelan babes at rallies, he seems to have a fascination with pickle-faced prunes and crones. Aren't there any babes in Venezuela, and wouldn't it be logical that such babes would be trying to get as far away as they can from a brutal leftist thug like Hugo Chavez? Stay tuned, I was in Caracas, babes are everywhere, it's only a matter of time before he takes some uhhh photogenic photos of the antichavista opposition.

<< .... the galloping megalomaniac gives Venezuelan resources to other countries when his own countrymen/women live in subhuman conditions .... >>

Take a stroll past Los Angeles Midnight Mission to see our own countrymen living in subhuman conditions, add an "s" to "galloping megalomaniac" swap "United States" for "Venezuelan" and you're talking about the feral gummint's pathetic little power lusters and their legions of parasitical bureaucrats.

Who, every single hour, squander Billions of Dollars of the confiscated wealth of millions of Americans.

Them's scumbags protected by federal judges with the constitutional right to be a bum and spread filth. It's not the same thing in Venezuela where the poverty is real and the people are potential productive. What's going on in LA is just bums and the leftist judges who protect them. I wish they'd go sleep on some judge's doorstep.

Every single one of them could get a job if they WANTED to.

Some people CHOOSE to live like that, and shouldn't be exploited by bleading heart liberals with cameras taking pictures that are hardly truthful of their situation. Oher's are victims of themselves, drug addicts, alcoholics, all of which have oppertunities shoved at them which they can use to change their lives. Some however, just want everything free, and expect society to carry their burden for them.
