The Question No One Dared Ask at the Debate

[Feeling the Bern]

1. That's because Climate Change is a myth. It's all due to bear farts and beer burps.

[tclambert]

22. It's Al Gore pulling a hoax, I tells ya, in cahoots with 70,000 scientists.

There are at least 4 scientists who dispute global warming, ya know. So it's far from settled. And Sen. Inhofe made a snowball and brought it in a baggie onto the floor of the Senate. Case closed.

2. The problem is they do not want to lead, they just want to be president.

Much like Bush wanted to be CEO of the US. Just a person who signed papers his aides gave him to sign and say what his speech writers wrote for him to speak. Bush never wanted to have to make decisions, much like modern CEO's do not want to make decisions. They just want the power and the perks of not having to work again.

5. ^^^THIS^^^

[libdem4life]

3. Staffers probably forgot to put it in the questions. Not. Because they are Neanderthals...and hope

no one notices. Thus, no questions.

4. GOP's critical thinking - "Gawd giveth & Gawd taketh away"

[valerief]

6. CNN is owned by Time Warner, whose chairman is Jeff Bewkes. That's the man

who could have insisted it be asked. He probably insisted it NOT be asked. Cuz when you're one of the five U.S. mass media owners, people do whatever you ask.

His 2013 salary was 32.5 million.

7. And still they have 40+% support amongst US voters....

it simply boggles my mind. I'm tired of sucking it up around my conservative friends and family members - if they open the door for me to unload I smile and DO IT...

[BlueJazz]

8. "I'm tired of sucking it up" Yep. Same here. I've been fairly polite with people who ..

....spout right-wing trash. No more. I've armed myself with the facts and sources and (as some drunk once said) "I'm lookin' for a fight"

[YOHABLO]

15. I find it a no-win situation. They've been so indoctrinated by the Reich,

they'll just keep on defending their paranoia. Just walk away from them, or don't be around them AT ALL.

[NoMoreRepugs]

18. agreed....

less Xmas cards to send...

[Duppers]

19. Agreed. Got sick of trying.

They seem to be hopeless.

12. I get your point and agree, but in fairness

the Wolf (Blitzer) did announce at the outset of the debate that the evening was to be devoted to National Security, and Isis - (I think he said almost those words}. I remember feeling disappointed at the start because I didn't want to listen to that crap. I don't need to hear them try to out-tough the other guy.
I wanted to hear about the economy, about the ''Trans-Pacific Partnership"
About education, big pharma, and, yes, global warming.
But talking about killing, and retribution, and invasions, and Islam is sexier.
F****** TV

23. According to officials at the Pentagon, global warming IS a national security issue.

The Arab Spring revolts and the current Syrian refugee crisis occurred in part due to food shortages caused by unusually bad droughts. More conflicts will result from people fleeing the effects of global warming.

Plus, the Navy now has to worry about guarding the Arctic Ocean, which is becoming more and more ice free and more and more used by shipping traffic.

Energy security ties into national security, too. How many wars have we fought for oil? (Part of the reason Japan attacked us in World War II and tried to expand their control far south into the Pacific is that we cut off their oil supply and they wanted control of Brunei.) If we can switch much of our energy infrastructure over to solar and wind, maybe we can stop fighting to protect our interests in the Persian Gulf.

Of course, you could just say, "What is more of a threat to national security than the thing that threatens to wreck human civilization?"

13. The force be with you

In the calculus zero is sometimes undefined, as are the Republicans

[63splitwindow]

14. ... but, but, but, I can't shoot climate change...

...with any of my constitutionally protected guns...

16. Nor did any Republican attend the Paris convention on climate to learn or discuss it.

The Republicans continue to tell us they do not have knowledge of science, yet none made any attempt to attend the conference and learn from it. This is again a GOP party that continues to say NAY to anything to help this nation, its people or the world. They live back 100 years ago. They are out of touch, on purpose, to destroy this nation.

17. Kasich, the "reasonable" Republican made a belittling reference.

He disparaged the people in Paris for not talking about ISIS. He may not hate gay people but he is still an asshole and in a single sentence convinced me that he is catastrophically unfit for the job he is seeking.

[yuiyoshida]

20. In the Republican mind it doesn't exist

It could be as big as an Elephant standing in front of them, and they would ignore it...well, until it starts backing up in their direction and lifts its tail.

[ucrdem]

21. Ha. They sure mentioned the Paris attacks.

Republican priorities. . . .

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. Forget the Republican primaries

For such an historical global agreement there was not much fanfare at all from the corporate press either. More like an "in other news...." relegation.
