http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-why-no-discussion-of-climate-change/2012/10/18/a3cd74ec-195d-11e2-aa6f-3b636fecb829_story.html

An amusing article. Essentially states that Romney has a better track record than Obama on environmental issues, but that they're both trying to out-do the other in claiming to be able to drill as much as possible.

Also takes a poke at the myth of fully domestic oil production.

I kinda feel like you proved the article's point.

This entire election cycle that not one candidate has had the balls to actually raise awareness to the issue of polar bear abortion clinics. It's a travesty! Here we are in the US of A driving around on broken bridges, drinking dirty water and sleeping in private parks under blue tarps with our plastic drum circles and right now...there's MILLIONS of polar bears that are being denied the choice to have abortions! How long is THAT going to stand, huh?

There's scientific consensus that polar bears are being denied their right to abortions.

Yes.

Blue pill science and it's a consensus.

Yes... be facetious.

There is a growing body of knowledge that we have an impact on our environment... the type of impact, the level, etc are irrelevant to this discussion...

It is interesting to me that this is a completely ignored topic in the presidential race currently.

Is it because the economy is so bad, Obama thinks trying to sell any environmental issues would alienate the middle-ground?
Is it because Romney has a better record than Obama and Obama is afraid Mitt will bring that up?
Is Mitt avoiding it because he's afraid his good environmental record would alienate the Teabaggers?

The silence is interesting to me. Obviously you're unwilling to look at it beyond "It's about climate issues! I must mock it!"

Alas, it is true. There lie the poor, tired and huddle masses of bunnies. Gasping for life as the oppressive boot of the self-righteous top 1% presses upon their throat, denying them the simple right to breed like . . . . well, breed a lot. And make jelly beans!
