The Chávez Democrats - WSJ.com

The Chávez Democrats - WSJ.com

My comment:
Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. As a Venezuelan who radically opposes Chavez - Taliban-type President, who openly supports and finances terrorists - FARC, I would agree with you 100% to sign a free trade agreement with Colombia. However, let's not be naive. Obama's advisor "wink, wink" to Canada on NAFTA, probably cost him the Ohio primary. Ohio decided the last general election and will probably decide it again. On the other hand, the Republicans had the WH and Congress for plenty of years to pass the free trade agreement with Colombia, which is much worse because they stand for free trade. Further, in my POV, nothing has galvanized the left in Latin American against the U.S. more than Bush. I do agree 100% that Chavez is power because of President Carter. He quickly certified the referendum to keep Chavez without a proper audit of the results. So, let's spread the blame fairly among Democrats and Republicans when it comes to destructive policy in Latin America.
