#5 Venezuela’s democrats have to overcome a troubled history of rule by elites with little concern for lifting people out of poverty or shared economic growth.

And many Republicans, too.

#8 There's no need to wait on a Socialist to become the US President, we already have our own version of Venezuela right here and now--we call it "Obamacare".

That which can't continue forever, won't. Its as true for political systems as it is for faux insurance schemes.

#10 Socialist have no history, so there is no lesson to be learned.

They'll lie to themselves about the old adage that the 'right people' weren't in charge, ignoring that when you concentrate that much power, there are no 'right people'.

#11 His defenders accuse the old ruling elite and its supporters of sabotaging the revolution.

Now, why does this sounds so familiar?

#12 He could actually be thrown under his own bus.

But with the fuel shortage, all he could do would be a lube job, the wheels on that bus won't be going round and round so very much....
