Local Maryland Bureauweenie Invites Chavez Tendrils
Dems attempting to expand the SCHIP program aren't the only ones who would push socialism on the well-to-do. Council member Marc Elrich tried to bring Venezuela's ambassador to wealthy Montgomery County, Maryland, with hopes of getting the hostile socialist regime to invest in local social programs — something autocrat Hugo Chavez has shown a willingness to do for propaganda purposes, even as his own people struggle to find food.
Local Venezuelan and Cuban immigrants were understandably incensed. Elrich abandoned his scheme when even fellow Dems like County Executive Isiah Leggett shot it down.
On a tip from Charles.

Chavez hasnt been too sucessful in this campaign, but he has thrown away a lot of valuable wealth that his weak economy needs.
