Venezuela's opposition ground down by Chavistas (http://news.yahoo.com/venezuelas-opposition-ground-down-chavistas-064738425.html)
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The people tapped by Hugo Chavez to carry on his socialist revolution seem to be improvising the rules of governing as they march toward what most Venezuelans consider certain victory in a mid-April vote to replace the late president.Chavez's designated successor, Nicolas Maduro, and his ruling clique have repeatedly circumvented the constitution and exploited their monopoly on power to all but crush an opposition already crippled by years of government intimidation.
The odds are so stacked against opposition candidate Henrique Caprilesthat he has compared his run to being "led to a slaughterhouse and dropped into a meat grinder."
Unfortunately the stench of failed Socialism can't be stopped with a little embalming fluid.
