As for politicians reminding the people of the extremes the right wing in Venezuela is willing to go to, good for them. I'm sure the people there do not want a repeat of the treasonous actions they were victims of not so long ago.
Venezuela's economy is better than ours, btw, so much better that it has been suggested that maybe we should have consulted with the Chavez Government for advice to stop the continuing and impending disaster the solution for which we seem to believe is TAKE FROM THE POOR. Chavez was able to improve Ven's economy without robbing the poor and bailing out crooked banks.
But thanks for stating your views, I now understand more about where you are coming from.
I never support Right Wingers, I have yet to see one good example of a Right Wing government.
I sincerely hope that the Democratic administration in Venezuela beats the far Right extremists once again. As do most Democrats I have spoken to.
