Seriously? After all the illegitimate president, let's go to international instances blah now he's telling us everything is dandy and calls us to vote on december??<br /><br />I mean, sure, he can call to vote (he has to) but "14-A is over"? puhleaze, those are the kind of things that makes me more eskeptical towards capriles, the MUD and the oppo regarding their conviction (proper term?), and coherence.<br /><br />It is possible to deliver a message saying that we got screwed because it was a close one, so let's make it a landslide and better watch themselves not to cheat or else! That's why such inconsistencies makes me dubious :S<br /><br />BTW, with the whole perez pirela for maracaibo and winstosn rodilla-en-tierra-vallenilla for baruta, the government is seriously looking for the oppo voter to go out and vote, WTH? :Skernel_panicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-68491850564066811932013-08-04T20:57:21.387+02:002013-08-04T20:57:21.387+02:00well, with dissociated minds that certainly would ...well, with dissociated minds that certainly would work.....Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-60979670064974364822013-08-04T19:11:24.816+02:002013-08-04T19:11:24.816+02:00Then, as a knee jerk reaction, the most corrupt re...<i>Then, as a knee jerk reaction, the most corrupt regime in Venezuela's history called for a rally against corruption.
