This has give Cult of Climastrology members a sad
(Inside Climate News) The top 10 Republican candidates for president spent 120 minutes of their first primary season debateThursday night in Cleveland duking it out over issues like foreign policy, national security, immigration, abortion and the economy.
Missing from the conversation, however, was climate change. Not a single substantive question was asked by Fox News moderators about global warming or energy. Except for a brief nods to the Keystone XL pipeline and undefined “out-of-control regulations,” the candidates didn’t raise the issue themselves either.
The forum, which at times felt more theatrical than political, is the latest example how one of the nation’s most divisive topics has been ignored in the GOP primary thus far. (snip)
Earlier on Thursday during the so-called Kids Table or Happy Hour debate among the Republican candidates not polling in the top 10, Fox News host Bill Hemmer asked South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham how voters could trust him after he supported the Obama administration’s climate agenda. During a presidential forum in Manchester, N.H. on Monday, one out of more than 50 questions addressed  global warming or energy. The issue has also been absent from most town hall meetings, diner speeches and backyard meet-and-greets as the 17 Republican candidates have zigzagged across New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina.
I’d actually like to hear Republican candidates address the topic, what their beliefs are, and, more importantly, what their plans are for energy production. I really do not care that much if they are believers: I care if they plan to Do Something about it, because Doing Something about it means damaging policies that put even more power in the hands of the Central Government.
The UK Guardian, which has given up on journalism in favor of climate change activism, is likewise annoyed that there was no talk of guns, “climate change”, and race relations. Again, I’d love to hear them take these issues on from a Conservative point of view, making sure to note that
- Democrats want to disarm law abiding citizens while being soft on the actual criminals that commit crime
- Refuse to practice what they preach on climate change, while offering legislation, rules, and regulations that are damaging to the economy, hurt the lower and middle classes, and give government tons more control over our lives, private entities, and the economy
- Race has gotten much worse under the Obama administration, and, hey, let’s face it, Democrats treat Blacks simply as a voting block to be patronized, all while attempting to keep Blacks poor and reliant on government, and ignoring the massive Black on Black crime in Democratic Party run cities.
I really do not think Democrats would like this debate if Republicans came out swinging and attacking.
