Disclaimer & comment rulesIf I had to vote in a bus driver able to lay curses of the dead on the electorate and see spirits of the dead in birds, I would be very afraid or think him very stupid.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 10:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0We shall see if the voting populace of Venezuela turns out to be very afraid and stupid, or sane and sensible.
Or perhaps they know enough of the man to be both very afraid and sensible.
If the latter, we will see the continuance of this dictatorship, but if they overcome their fear we may yet have a proper election on our hands.
Wake up Venezuela...this might be your last chance for real freedom for a very long time.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm laughing so hard! A curse?
Apr 08th, 2013 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway, I can't believe Capriles has been causing all these blackouts in Venezuela for months now and Maduro hasn't done anything about it.
Being so burly (fat?) he hasn't had time to run the country since he...... started running the country.
Anyway I hope no one tells Maduro to wear gloves when he is handed the stick after winning....... we all know what's on that end of the stick.
Yes, they will vote for the one with the 'power' to see 'miracles', poor deluded idiots.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 12:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But the finish will at least come sooner because the bus driver is about to crash his latest vehicle into a real dead end.
Capriles is winning vote intention by 5 points by now I think following a survey by Globovision:
Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0From March 7 to April 5
Before
Maduro: 55.6%
Capriles: 21.7 %
After
Maduro: 34.9%
Maduro: 39.7%
I would like to know were this article got its math. Seriously

Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Obviously not from Globovision...
That's like saying “According to FOX News...”
Whatever the statement is after that sentence, the only thing that is for sure, is that it's a lie...
Nothing further from the truth Fox News is a mostly pro tea party site of extreme whatever they are.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Globovision has been considered a site news more or less free of the Gov. control.

Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Free of government control maybe, but most certainly not free from the interests of the oligarchy.
Is possible but is also normal for surveys to give the win to either candidate as a way to give them recognition and popularity, but to be honest Maduro isn´t Chavez, and from what I have seen, Venezuelan ppl are just tired of Gov. monopoly of public oppinion and even some supporters of Chavez recognize Maduro isn´t him. Anyway, the real survey will be out the day of the elections, it usually is.

Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think most of the world recognizes Maduro isn't Chavez.
We are Chavez, Maduro is our son ;)
I was meaning they didn´t want to vote for him sweetie :)
Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Every personalist Gov. has the terrible weak point of just fall down after the leader is out, I should know ;-)

Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That is true, but with Chavez there is a big exception, he left a legacy that will be dominating the politics in Venezuela for some time to come.
Maduro has everything to lose.
Wow, alot of divine intervention following Maduro, what a gifted man. From being revealed that Chavez spoke to God about electing a south american Pope, then being enlightened by a little bird who was Chavez appearing to him, now having the ability to put the hoochy-cooch on anyone that does not vote for him, I think Capriles should just throw in the towel, the competition is too great.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 01:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@12
Apr 08th, 2013 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maduro indeed has everything to lose, but unless he or any of his advisors manage to build a credible political model apart from Chavez, in this short time, everything will just fall down. Chavez himself will be remembered, but this isn´t the same with the structure of Gov. he build, especially as he made sure to antagonize a considerably large section of the ppl from his own country.
A bird told me that an uneducated bus driver shouldn't be running a country.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 02:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Seriously how stupid are these people that he is even a candidate?
Poor deluded idiots
I've heard in Brazilian news that Capriles wants to follow the model of Lula. Poor Venezuela, it has to be either Chavez or Lula.

Apr 08th, 2013 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Are you the one?
You know, when they say “do the math” when they really mean do the arithmetic; because we can’t AND don’t even ask us to do geometry or heaven forbid calculus and WTF are imaginary numbers?.
You are really, really famous you know, but can YOU “do the math?”
Sorry.
.. Stevie, where are you from? Are you from Venezuela? Are you from MY country? The country where we live with fear of being killed EVERY DAY? Thw country where last year 21.000 people were killed? The country where everything belongs to the government, and those of us who think differently are threatened and intimidated? The country where there's no electricity 6 of every 7 days of the week? Where there's no food, no jobs and no quality of life, despite we have some of the largest oil reserves? The country where all non governmental Tv channels were eliminated, and the only freedom defender channel we actually have is Globovision? Do you live in this country? No, you don't. So Stop talking about it like if you knew the way we live. Because you don't. At all. You don't know about misery. We do. And the responsible of this misery we live in, are those assholes who have our governors for the last 14 years. Please, stop talking about my country. Or, at least, do some research before you do.

Apr 09th, 2013 - 09:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0You can't tell Stevie. He's never been anywhere. He believes all the propaganda and everything he doesn't believe is a lie that he is unable to prove.
Don't expect links to articles or logic just let his stupidity wash over you like a flood in BA.
After all, even Chavez's government admitted the murder rate.

Apr 09th, 2013 - 10:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0From the post by Amanda we can see the evidence that all of us have thought: you have your head stuck in the online papers and as long as they are leftist rags, preferably government owned then you are happy. You MAY have been to some of these places when your parents took you.
You have just lost any vestige of respect I had for you.
And please don't bother replying that you never had any respect for me, which is obvious, you have no respect for anyone except for the usual liars such as I Can't Think and the rest of the Malvanistas.

Apr 10th, 2013 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Amanda is you after 24:00. You really expect me to believe that all of a sudden, a Venezulean ended up reading pro-British South Atlantic news, sprinkled with some Gibraltar nonsense?
