Since there is an intense debate that is driving the Hispanic vote to the Democrats, it is clear that Republicans are not managing the issue successfully. That their position is right or wrong is not what I am discussing.

Can I just invite myself in to Venezuela without permission and start making demands? I can tell you that is what they do here and even march in the thousands proclaiming they are illegals and nothing much happens to them. I wonder what would happen if any such thing ever happened in Venezuela. Forget Venezuela, how about illegals in other countries around the world? I bet they would be gathered up in such a march and deported immediately.

There are plenty of hard working, tax paying North Americans that are bound to the Democratic party because there are too many positions they cannot accept, nor even compromise. Examples: knee jerk anti abortion, defense of "creation science" and similar garbage, gay rights, immigrants treatment, gun ownership, and more. Keep excluding all of these guys and see the Democrats grow and prosper.<br /><br />As for democrats assimilated to looters. In the US looters are prosecuted, even by democrat judges. If you fail to see the difference between what happens in Venezuela and what you think is happening in the US then you need to check your lenses formula.<br /><br />And never mind that my post is titled OUR 47%.

These are the type of potential voters the Democrat party is looking to legalize so that they can create a permanent voting majority in the US. A permanent government dependent class that is only interested in their daily ration of free government cheese. A permanent government dependent class that would help fulfill the dream of the statists here in the US. What I see in Venezuela is the future here in the US if the Democrats are successful in creating that majority dependent permanent voting class that is only interested in free government cheese. Get Mark Levin's Liberty & Tyranny and Ameritopia to see what I mean.

What does your post have to do with american politics? Besides, who do you think the guys looting the beer truck would vote for if they were in the US, the Democratic Party of course! The party you would also vote for if you could just because they "say the right things" just like Chavez did.

Including the GN getting their share.When I was there I heard horror stories from middle class people who had the bad luck to crash their car in the interior which is like one kilometer from Miraflores!<br />It also is not restricted to Venezuela or Latin America. Nigeria and some parts of Mexico (including other countries) are even proactive with roadblocks and in some cases running cars off the road and/or opening up with machine guns make them stop. <br />What countries have improve I don't know but, my benchmark Brasil , even if they are agressive on crime, they don't report it. Also, they are one of the worst countries regarding violence that is un-procecuted toward LGBT people!Rogerhttp://www.llanera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-24327008675817847012013-04-05T23:16:28.157+02:002013-04-05T23:16:28.157+02:00Stealing from a broken down vehicle has been commo...Stealing from a broken down vehicle has been common place in Venezuela throughout the recent period of democracy, ever since the overthrow of the last dictator. Chavismo precedes Chavez by several decades: it didn't just happen in '98. I remember a newspaper picture of people looting a broken down truck carrying big sacks of wheat flour, under the watchful eyes of the National Guard (this was in the 1970s, I think). It was presented at the time as an example of a common occurrence, not an isolated incident. We didn't react to this at the time.

Whether stealing a car, or appropriating a business, or whatever, the government does it so the citizens do it. Hugo Chavez took over $2 billion in 14 years and is a national hero.
