Putin continues to control the power in Russia while Hugo Chavez accepts this defeat.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Humbled by his first electoral defeat ever, President Hugo Chavez said Monday he may have been too ambitious in asking voters to let him stand indefinitely for re-election and endorse a huge leap to a socialist state.
Way to go Venezuela! Democracy and freedom still reign in your streets because of your stand against a socialist society! Chavez tried to change the constitution to allow him to reign until he was 95 years old but today he accepted his defeat. Now, if Russin voters would follow your example!
MOSCOW — International observers and critics declared Monday that Russia's parliamentary elections failed to meet democratic standards, saying President Vladimir Putin and his government abused their power to favor the dominant Kremlin-backed party while opposition forces were harassed.
Some scary things happening in this country. A documentary on CNN last night reported of over 200 investigative journalist of the free press have been murdered. Putin would like for his power to continue and the country voted yesterday to determine if his reign would continue. Of course, their are some questions about the voting procedures.
