The biggest Global Threat not discussed.

Global Climate Changs. Even the Pentagon says it is a giant security issue.
Obama has not done enough (though with this Congress, it is extremely difficult) and he has to give up on "clean coal"
But he does try.
Romney is just a "fossil fuel is king" guy and probably a CGC denier.

Although, I think his policy on fuel standards is one of his greatest achievements on energy.

The planet didn't really fit into any of the debates.

The President spoke up in his acceptance speech. Promoting clean energy, which he has done, is a step in the right direction.

is the US republicans. Hate mongering, war mongering, resource stealing, climate change denying, obstruction of justice, obstruction of everything, lying, media controlling, propaganda throwing, selling our country and our govt to the biggest buyer foreign or domestic, racist, greed, God claiming, anti people, willing to let the country fail to make sure the 1% stay in power, treason ....

I could go on.

If everyone of them up and died of some liar's disease, I would be very happy about it. I also blame them for that. It is not my usual way of thinking, but one they have driven me too. May there be a hell for them all to rot in.
