I follow the American elections keenly, and support the more liberal values of the Democratic Party. Obviously, it means I want Barack Obama to win the election later this year, and I am very interested in which one of the candidates is going to Republican nomination. At the moment Mitt Romney is still winning, and he is a Mormon, who earns $20 million a year, and is often mocked for strapping the family dog to the roof of the car before driving to Canada with him for the holidays. He is up against Rick Santorum who is anti homosexuals, very strongly in favour allegedly of the Church and famous for a number of scary perspectives on the world. Both Republicans really specialise and supporting either that the wealthy should not have paid much tax, under the guise of it promoting business and any other of the conservative issues such as being opposed to homosexual relationships. It never stops amazing me, and I don’t think it is ever going to end, that so many below to average income earners get terrified year after year in voting for a party that represents not their interests but the interests of the rich and now they will do so under the guise of a number of ridiculous allegations against Barack Obama that many Americans still appear to believe including: that he was not actually born in the American State of Hawaii, but was really born in Africa, that deep down he does not believe in God, that if he is in charge of America the country will become a socialistic state, etc, etc. The Republicans have always, to a large extent, drawn their support from conservative people living in small states and probably with a smaller perspective on the world outside whereas the Democrats, for example have always won the major States and cities such as New York in the Californian State.
