Chavez lost his bid to make himself dictator. By a very narrow margin, 51% voted against his constitutional referendum that would have allowed President Hugo Chavez to remain in power indefinitely.
President of the National Electoral Council, Tibisay Lucena, said the process "shows the entire world that we are a democratic country."
I would not be one bit surprised to learn that Chavez will blame the United States for interfering in this election process causing him to lose his bid. He is a dictator at heart and will not step down peacefully.
At stake were 69 amendments proposed by Chavez, who has said he wants to steer Venezuela toward full socialism -- a state his detractors describe as full totalitarianism.
Chavez called Venezuela's electoral system "one of the most transparent in the world," and said its voting machines are among "the most modern of the world."
So, with that statement he cannot say the machines were tampered with, but the paranoid tyrant will undoubtedly find someway to blame the U.S. for his loss.
I want to personally gives my thanks to the people of Venezuela, we already have too many dictators and far too many dictator wannabes.
