The big lie: A picture is worth a thousand words and here you can see the working class people of Caricuao, a housing section in the south west of Caracas, signing their names to the petition to oust Chávez. Venezuelans don't want a revolution, Cuban or otherwise, communist or otherwise. That want to be the masters of their own destiny. They want work and food on the table. They want education and medical services for themselves and their children. Hugo Chávez
had it all. A popularity rating of 70%. The backing of large
segments of the population. But in four years of
mismanagement he has lost most of his popular support. The
amazing thing is that Venezuelans have not responded to the
violence with more violence. On the contrary, we want free
and fair elections with every class of Venezuelan
represented including even Chávez supporters. The
fact that they are misguided does not disallow them from
voting for their candidate. What we will not stand for is
the brutal repression that Chávez has instigated with
the help of his terrorist Círculos Bolivarianos. |
