Chavez Suffers Major Constitutional Defeat

Looks Like Comrade Hugo Chavez of Venezuela will NOT be able to become “El Presidente Vitalicio” any time soon as his plans to rewrite the Venezuelan Constitution that would move his country into a Cuba-like Communist regime has gone down in defeat.

From Myway News:

“I understand and accept that the proposal I made was quite profound and intense,” he said after voters narrowly rejected the sweeping constitutional reforms by 51 percent to 49 percent.

I’ve been wondering if the people of Venezuela will wake up and smell the stuff Chavez has been spewing for the last several years for being what it is, and it looks like at least 51% of Venezuelans have done so. Hurrah for the people of Venezuela!

Unfortunately they are still stuck with the Castro wannabe through the election in 2012, which is a long time to wait to get rid of him. The question is, will he continue to push for changing different aspects of their Constitution, breaking the changes down into smaller, more “palatable” chunks? Probably. We’ll just have to wait and see what Chavez does next. They have to remember that Comrade Chavez still wields tremendous dictatorial powers that were granted to him early this year.
