We hope that the Socialist parasite Chavez suffers a painful death. He has destroyed the economy of Venezuela and the lives of so many people.

The real question is, will this delegation be more of the same or something different. My guess is that all decisions will be ratified through Chavez and all will remain the same until he dies.

As it is obvious to all that he is in post for the whole of his natural life, this gives Venezuela the opportunity, perhaps, to chenge its destiny sooner rather than later - perhaps while there is still oil in the country.
