Probably because there is no dictatorship nor would there have been.
No one is talking about the Russian election either.
Every vote held in Venezuela since Chavez was elected has been certified fair by national and international election officials/monitors. Strange the same can't be said for the U.S. in the same time span.
You're a sucka Philip

Sounds to me like the majority of Venezuelans said "Fuck Chavez" loud and clear. Probably because he was too much of a grandstanding, red leftist that didn't do much for them or their economy. Other than sucking Fidel Castro's balls and talking out of turn during international meetings, he didn't do much.
Thats too bad. Some of the changes would have included a shortened working day - 6 hours - and the establishment of a social security system for the millions of Venezuelans. Of course, the central focus was on the increased power for Chavez. But, the simple fact that Venezuelans got the opportunity to vote, and the constitutional reform failed, proves that there is no dictatorship in Venezuela and this is the truest democracy Venezuela has seen in hundreds of years.
Of course, there was a huge campaign, led by the wealthier sections of society, the Catholic church and the right-wing media, to spread propaganda and disinformation about the reforms, which turned out to be pretty effective. And not suprisingly, the US Government helped finance the opposition, as reported by the Washington Post. See Operation Pliers
The bad thing about this is this defeat will certainly embolden the Chavez opposition, who if ever are in power again, will without a doubt oppress the citizens of Venezuela once again.
