Great Ad and great post.
I truly believe ...Daniel,<br />Great Ad and great post.<br /><br />I truly believe that an in a true election an opposition candidate would win over Chavez. I see at as a different challenge now....the Government knows this and will pull out all stops not to allow it. The question is now how does the opposition truly protect each and every vote? How does the opposition prove that there is possibly millions of phantom voters on the registry? How do we stop the flagrant and obvious fraud that will be committed? Its not a question of if they will cheat....its a question of how and what can be done to prevent it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-60733521135443596462011-12-09T17:58:22.572+01:002011-12-09T17:58:22.572+01:00I think the ad is good in a way because it alludes...I think the ad is good in a way because it alludes to the fact that we are responsible for our own realities, something that few politicians make people aware of.What a Christmas gift !!<br /><br />Usually politicians play the victim card to win easy votes.ie: " The pueblo is victim and we are going to find redress"<br /><br />The politics of grievance and blame does not empower people and through its evil,many politicians like Chavez makes us think that we are not part of the power structure when in reality we ARE the power, just that we are used to handing it over to groups who promise to represent us, and then later don't.<br /><br />I wonder if this message is clear though,as it only alludes, and some less than subtle thinkers might not capture the message too clearly, but on the other hand LL has to be subtle... or else :( <br /><br />All and all the premise is great.firepigettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348890269608169297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-70163737229933479662011-12-09T17:17:12.632+01:002011-12-09T17:17:12.632+01:00syd
