Please stop spreading nonsense here. Most Democrats followed these events from the day of the Bush Administration backed coup against a democratically elected president of a sovereign nation. We should be ashamed of what was attempted by that Right Wing administration. Why are you supporting this btw? The world and all of Latin America know the truth and it's no wonder the US is regarded as the biggest threat to world peace around the globe.

I thought only Republicans defended Bush's policies towards Chavez who has led Latin America to independence from Right Wing Western backed dictatorships.

I remember back in 2002 when every Dem supported the Venezuelan people's overturning of the Bush backed coup and their refusal to return to Western backed dictators and right wing puppet governments. What happened?
