could not hold office. http://latindispatch.com/2011/10/18/venezuela-supreme-court-casts-doubt-on-chavez-rivals-presidential-bid/

Note that Venezuelan law under Chavez disqualifies candidates merely on allegations of corruption, not convictions. And the government already has the media content laws and has refused to renew non-chavista broadcast media.

THere is no indication that Capriles is a right winger. Chavistas have attacked him for his Jewish origins and foreign minister Maduro called Capriles a big faggot.

So now, Capriles is a war criminal... ChangoLoa Jun 2012 #27

Who is his father? And who are his coalition partners? sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #35

His father was a businessman in the cookies industry I think. Have you heard about JFK's? ChangoLoa Jun 2012 #47

Yes, we know of Joe Kennedy, Sr. Ken Burch Jun 2012 #81

What does " 'officialization' of all social programs in the Constitution" even mean? Ken Burch Jun 2012 #57

I know, my English isn't good. It means to make them a constitutional right ChangoLoa Jun 2012 #62

It's not like Chavez would oppose including them in the Constitution. Ken Burch Jun 2012 #69
