And where has socialism succeeded?
Gibbs is making notes for his statement on November 3 about Obama’s reaction to our election.
hell! Fidel has even thrown in the towell!
I expect the same thing out of the Obama crowd in November.
That so many people vote for this guy is incredibly disturbing. It is a good reminder that you just can't count on people voting sensibly, even in the face of clear evidence that their politicians of choice are horrible by every measure.
Apparently 5.45 million people in Venezuela who voted for Chavez haven't put 2 and 2 together yet.
Yep. the Communist Ideal can never be even though of as having any flaw in its perfection.
It can only fail if we fail to enforce it rigidly enough.
Double down!
If that fails, double down again, let no man breathe or even think free.

Seeing how they reacted to Scott Brown's win why should we expect anything different?
It's for the worthless, lazy losers and failures who don't want to pull their share. It's for the negative nasty haters. And they all never stop “nattering” also. They're not necessarily “nabobs” either, but more like “naboobs”.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
He will wind up hiding somewhere, like Hussein and Noriega. I don’t think he’s important enough to wind up at the end of a noose, although it could happen.
Just shoot him.
Yep, they keep trying to put the number 2 block into the number 5 hole.
Can we belive that number of 5.4M?

“We are creating a new world, a balanced world. A new world order, a multipolar world,” Chavez told reporters during a visit to Communist China, one of many. His “new world order” includes [RUSSIA], China, Iran,... and a significantly weakened United States, he explained.
Resurgent Communism in Latin America
by Alex Newman, March 16, 2010:
Chavez got beat up in the elections and learned last week what was on the computers and hard drives that Colombia got when they whacked the FARC. He also saw what happened in Equador when you screw people. He’s SCARED!
“That so many people vote for this guy is incredibly disturbing.”
He’s taken over or destroyed most news media organizations that tried to speak any truth or opposition about his policies.... the average voter there probably hears 24/7 about how wonderful Chavez is and all their problems are due to the tyranny of evil America and capitalism.
Even left-wing media organizations have documented some of this - http://www.cpj.org/2010/02/attacks-on-the-press-2009-venezuela.php
No surprise. It's the growing parasite class that gets something for nothing as long as this thug is in power and there are still at least a few crumbs left to loot. The looting and rise of the parasite class is accelerating here as well.
