I'm burying this here, because I don't want a full-on political row.
But having watched TV coverage of the Iowa caucuses, Republican candidates make me sick to my stomach.

Michele whatsit?
I watched her exit speech and I don't ever expect to hear God mentioned so much again unless I'm eavesdropping on a pretty good whorehouse.
If it'd been a Say God drinking game not even Marion Ravenwood would have walked away from the table.

Okay, socialism as a swearword, I find it odd, but it's a political POV.
But the God thing? Which equals the anti-gay thing? The Christian thing that equals the every man for himself thing?

I honestly find it scary and delusional and at odds with what America purports to stand for.
In a country that separates church and state?

Not up to me to criticise another country's politicians.
Ours are no great shakes.
But I couldn't get by without saying yours are terrifying.

ETA - I could criticise any politicians around the world.
In fact I engage in discussions about European politicians/ Heads of State often on other forums.
But the person who wins the US election calls themself The Leader of the Free World.
So I feel I have a real reason to despair that across the board, the Opposition* are God-botherers and homophobes.

ETA * the party with the most amount of seats in Parliament is called The Opposition.
Just adding because this might not translate in a two party system.
