45. You mistake my criticism of your untruths with support for Chavez/Maduro.

If you're going to support your arguments, at least do it truthfully.

You said that Chavez was unpopular at his re election. Not evidenced by a 75% turnout & 63% win.

Now, you're shifting the topic in your responses.

Have a great day doing this. Not playing games with shifting goalposts with you.
You want to universally condemn the Ven gov't? Go ahead. Just do it in a fact-based and coherent way.
