Like that worked for something other than creating a new martyr.<br /><br />What I think is that a lot of people are failing to understand that we don't need a "leader" to keep pushing the social movement and the protests. We don't need more leaders to immolate themselves either. People need to go out more, protest out more, keep pushing more, expand the protest and bring in those that are indifferent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020332237369108535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-24440108885142159252014-03-17T17:42:23.881+01:002014-03-17T17:42:23.881+01:00The reason he has not been jailed is because he &q...The reason he has not been jailed is because he "talks" to the Pro- Cuban traitors in the government. We don't need a wimp to do chats with these thugs, we need a true opposition leader who does not compromise with those who have compromised the flag, the constitution and the ideals Simon Bolivar died for.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118765060793026873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-37943581547993243232014-03-17T15:55:29.268+01:002014-03-17T15:55:29.268+01:00When are people finally going to accept who they a...When are people finally going to accept who they are dealing with and how the odds will be stacked against them.<br /><br />Those people who keep pretending they are dealing with Democrats are only hurting the country by postponing and making worse the inevitable realization<br /><br />firepigette<br />firepighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158275219887987252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-70289008285840590032014-03-17T13:41:44.365+01:002014-03-17T13:41:44.365+01:00I meant to write "this could hurt him greatly...I meant to write "this could hurt him greatly.."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020332237369108535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-886959675515360992014-03-17T13:40:05.364+01:002014-03-17T13:40:05.364+01:00I believe it was Maduro who challenge Capriles to ...I believe it was Maduro who challenge Capriles to debate about his job and achievements in Miranda, therefore he challenged him as a governor and not as the opposition leader, which is absurd. If this was the tone, he should have included every single governor in the country. Why Miranda only? <br />So Capriles is just accepting this challenge, not too sure if he's doing it as a governor or as the opposition leader though, they are two different approaches here.<br />I have the feeling that Maduro will back up. He knows this could help him greatly as he doesn't have the knowledge or rhetoric abilities for a public debate. Perhaps this is why Capriles accepted, to show how much "paja" all this is.

Is it possible that food rationing cards will be distributed to primarily 'supporters' of the regime, therefore driving the remainder out of the country?

Maduro does not know how to negotiate, he is a freaken dictator. Hopefully Capriles will be able to make a strong statement about demands, not from the oppostion, but from all Venezuelans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
