While Revealing Climate Plan, Clinton Mum on Keystone.

"Real leadership is about forging public opinion on issues like Keystone -- not following it," O'Malley deputy campaign manager Lis Smith said.

Hillary Clinton Sidesteps Keystone in Climate Plan Rollout.

Democratic presidential candidates Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders have been vocal opponents of the project. Mrs. Clinton said her Democratic rivals never served as secretary of state and added that she is confident Keystone’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions would be a major factor in the administration’s determination of whether to build the pipeline.

Lis Smith, Mr. O’Malley’s deputy campaign manager, said Monday: “Every Democrat should follow lead and take a stand to commit to ending our reliance on fossil fuels.”

In a memo titled, "What Real Climate Leadership Looks Like," Lis Smith, Martin O'Malley's deputy campaign manager, stressed that the former Maryland governor outlined his clean energy plan last month and has backed up his plan with "action, not just words."

"Eschewing the piecemeal, poll-tested 'all of the above' energy strategies of the past, O'Malley has made clear that he will use the full force of his executive power to make the transition to a clean energy future the number one priority of our federal government," Smith wrote.

1. course she is

Just like she took reinstatement of Glass Steagall off the table immediately after her "tough on Wall St" speech...

[bigtree]

2. mum on Keystone, TPP, Glass-Steagall

...not progressive enough for this primary.

6. Not progressive at all, in fact,

but, as I've said, many may not notice or care. Lemming-power is VERY strong.

3. It's a gotcha question, doncha know? *snrk*

Her refusal to answer key questions on important issues is emblematic of her campaign, largely smoke and mirrors. Besides, she's already "weighed in" as SOS from hiring an associate of TransCanada to do the Environmental Impact Report to promoting it in speeches easily accessible on YouTube. Many of her top donors and advisers are lobbyists for TransCanada. The truth is we already know where she stands by her words and, more importantly, her actions, and she's too much of a coward to own it.

4. She is really two-faced Janus...

Say one thing, then flip over and say another thing.

Two faced.

5. I have to admit I was happily surprised

but I didn't expect very much.


I have to think if she does win the presidency, that she will care about this planet. Even if she hasn't done a great job convincing me. I just think we may have reached the point of no return for our species and surely, she cares. Hell, she has a grandchild. I know she loves him or her...sorry I don't follow births closely.
