8. I can't believe there are people in this website that support Chávez without ever being in Venezuela

Please watch this video. Mind you, it's about 40 minutes long, but well worth the watch.

Let's see if anyone here keeps supporting Chavez after watching it.

I'm Venezuelan myself, lived my whole life in Caracas, and I am just appalled by the amount of people that support him in this site. How about you actually go live in the country he's the president of before making any judgments?

You might've heard about Chávez having ordered the Venezuelan consulate in Miami to be shut down simply because he was butthurt. He plays dirty with elections, and knows that 99% of the people in Florida and its surrounding states would vote against him. Now what was once a small drive for many is gonna be almost a day worth of driving just to vote, since we've all been relocated to vote in the New Orleans consulate. But I assure you, MANY people are mobilizing anyway to go vote there, including myself. It's time we elected somebody new. Chávez had his chance for 14 years now, and he blew it big time. It's time for a change.
