A British View on American Politics

By Kvlog101 @KVlog101
I am British and I am a blogger therefore my time is spent looking at many news story's and situations from around the world and over the past month or so I have been watching many videos and reading a lot of coverage from the presidential campaigns in the USA and here's a few things I have observed:
America is huge melting pot of misinformation...
The amount of people that put out their opinions and make statements about politics to wide audiences about non-facts and wrong information is scary people listen to their subscriptions on YouTube and take the word of them people and do not research the facts and the truth. Over the past few months i have seen many videos and blog by American citizens making some silly comments and not understanding the basic framework of the presidential campaigns...
One major thing that i do not agree with is the use of religion in politics, the way that peoples faith can make them vote in such a way that they could blindly listen to there pastors and their church and just vote because of how the church says they should vote. This can lead to a leader that will cut funding to major services that keep people safe, it takes money away from education and programs to help people, it even leads to people losing health care which is vital to their survival.
The things I have read, the sound bits and videos i have seen seem to show the republican party as a money grabbing self preserving group of people who wish to take away the health care and cut programs and essential services that in truth only take up 0.12% of the money that the government spend.
I read on many websites about the war in Iraq and wars that involve America and if a country can afford to spend 8 trillion dollars on a war and put more money to the development of tanks and  make more tanks when there is a overlarge surplus of tanks sat in storage all around the USA just show that America has got a problem...
Any country that spends unimaginable amounts on money killing people in war in other countries and can't even afford to give a stable health care system to its own citizens is not using the money wisely.
I read articles about Obama care and look at how it is saving lives and and giving people the chance to get a good deal with their health care and making it easier for them to survive but when Mitt Romney can stand up and say i am going to cut the service to save some money just goes to show that he does not care about the working class and the people in America who need Obama care to live a better life.
The fact the republican party can say that abortion is wrong and make life difficult for the people of American is
wrong... the funny thing about how the republican party hold themselves is great as there are story's of republican candidates forcing their mistresses to get abortions when they have cheating on their wives... The way these "elite" people thing is funny as it is one rule for them and everyone else has to live both other rules...

The Republican party is showing that corruption is alive and kicking as the bills that Mitt Romney would pass would give several Millions of dollars worth of tax cuts to the very rich top end investors that are funding his campaign... the only way to do that is to shit on the working class and screw the economy for his own personal gain...
As an outsider i read many sources and find alot of information that shows the American people are not as informed as they should be and being fed rubbish by news and peole around them which will lead them to vote in such away that the wrong people will gain power and take America apart for their own benefit. 
Look more in depth and you see that not everything to see is truth and people will bend the truth to gain more power...
