Yes Sean, go live there and I'll see you leaving as many of us have already done.
There's a saying in Venezuela "no todo lo que brilla es oro" (not everything that shines is gold)...you'll realize it's true when you are living there and start listening to the people that cannot travel because they cannot get a VISA or they cannot get a passport, and if you are there for an election you'll see the fraud...and the non-supporters suffering as they see their future (and the one of their kids) shrinking every day more and more!
It's really sad to see an actor as good as you and an American talking good about the person that's taken my future in my country away.
It's easy to say you are a supporter when you don't suffer the everyday things that you suffer when you leave there!

I would love to see Sean Penn try to push his reform issues in countries like Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, and Russia, Syria. US haters just need to go live where the grass seems greener.. but it seems he likes his big bucks here.

I think Maria would know much more about Hugo Chavez than Sean Penn. He can go overboard on political issues and sometimes oversteps.

I am glad he blasted that idiot of Sean Penn. I am very disappointed in him. I can't believe he support that dictator. Congratulations to Maria Conchita for speaking out. She also just completed the narration for a political documentary "Crossing Our Borders" www.crossingourborders.com, about the causes of immigration into the US, by dictators like Hugo Chavez. I don't agree with everything she says, but one thing I do agree is that Hugo Chavez is destroying Venezuela and its people. At least the fights for what she believes.

I think is great tha Maria Conchita told Sean Penn to shut up. He should shut up when it comes to Venezuela he doesn't know anything. I am looking forward to see Maria Conchita's later project "Crossing Our Borders" documentary. www.crossingourborders.com
