I don't know, Chavez was running around, being pretty active and has a head full of hair again. He got his cancer treated somehow while Venezuelans (Including my grandmother) can't get treatment for breast cancer because there are no capable doctors and there are no chemotherapy treatments available in the country due to lack of resources.
I have to concede that the problem isn't Chavez. The problem is Venezuela and Venezuelans. I just have to realize that most of the country are ignorant idiots. No where else in the world a candidate who nationalized banks robbing millions of dollars from the people, where crime rate has risen to the worst in the world, where there is now water and light in the cities DAILY, where the tv stations who are against his rule have been forced to shut down, where the price of milk has skyrocketed to the point where it'd be considered expensive in the west, where he preaches anti-semitism in his campaign, where there's holes in the streets and highways, and really I can go on for a long time with this.
Venezuelans are just ignorant idiots.
"Un país ignorante, es instrumento ciego de su propia destrucción" - Simón Bolívar.
I entirely understand your frustration, and feel the same about my countrymen very often.
But I think we ought to cut Venezuelans some slack. For starters, it's hard to tell even if the result was fair or not. Not only that, but Chávez run an unparalleled intimidation campaign against the opposition, complete with gunmen shooting oppositionists even as they cast their votes. The destruction of the secret vote no doubt intimidated all civil servants (and also people who depend on the government one way or another), and so by this simple maneuver Chávez guaranteed a huge chunk of the electorate.
No doubt, many Venezuelans are idiots. But this wasn't their free and democratic decision. It was the result of intimidation, threats, and a vastly unequal struggle.
If anything, I congratulate the 45% of Venezuelans who risked their necks to say NO MORE.
