I don't know why given the Pentagon's Special Environmental Report predicting radical climate change over the next twenty years -- calling it the most serious threat we face -- that the Democrats haven't attacked this issue with fervor.

If there is a single issue where ANY sane person unless blinded by an extreme case of cognitive dissonance, where the Democratic agenda is 180 degrees counter to Bush's, it is environmental protection.

I'll be hammering on this issue at the local level. I always have.

The big change here of course, is that it's the Pentagon doing the crowing about climatic disaster. This is a slam dunk for a scientifically briefed politician to really take a number of issues and tie them directly to their environmental impact.

As I posted a few days ago, I am also still puzzled as to why the GOP continues to use imagery of 9/11 when it happened under Bush's watch. Americans need to use reason to elect the president of the U.S.

Emotion is fine when selecting a date, but it should have little impact on who we put in the White House, Congress, or your local school board.
