(sounds better in Spanish)<br /><br />On another note ND is running a poll on who people would vote for. With 10,861 votes Capriles has 10,308 (94.9%) while Chavez has 402 votes (3.7%). If you look at the comments section of ND the Chavistas contribute 30 to 40% of the comments (a guess). One wonders how many of these are paid by the government to sit all day filling opposition forums with garbage & hate?

When the idea of creating social programs is backed up and fervently fueled by the hateful division of classes, you eventually get the lethal combo of social programs and hatred.Yippee ;)Wow!<br /><br /> Chavez is not the only proponent of gaining votes through hatred which is a very important and useful thing to remember.Do not underestimate the affect world wide politics has on local politics.<br /><br />Now Capriles has captured the magic that once belonged to Chavez, only this time without the hatred.My guess is that in addition to other virtues he has an essence of good will and some quality advertising.<br /><br />The fact that Chavez is now considered old hat by most is a very hopeful sign, but how to proceed is what interests me now.Playing it by ear will ( I assume) be a part of any future plan....firepigettefirepighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158275219887987252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-77012013609515074192012-09-23T07:50:10.205+02:002012-09-23T07:50:10.205+02:00That's a terrific photo.
