Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has proven once again that even he doesn't know where he stands on the issues. Climate change, in the past, has been attributed by Mr. Romney as something that is happening and is "probably" connected with human behavior. Now, treehugger.com reports that while Romney still believes climate change exists, it cannot be attributed to human activity and that we shouldn't waste our time with emission regulations. There you go again Mitt.
It really should come as no surprise to us. In the last few months, as his anemic front-runner status has solidified to become even more anemic, he has rolled out plans and comments that fly in the face of his former pronouncements of the causes of climate change. In September, he released an energy policy that screamed of big fossil fuel influence. It not only funds more coal mining, it pushes for a greater amount of drilling. He claims that this will create more jobs and help our nation become more energy independent. He obviously did not see the graphic associated with this week's New York Times report on energy. It places the U.S. below the top ten nations with a large oil supply. We just don't have the oil Mitt. Even with natural gas being plentiful, his plan does not put much focus on that. He could at least try to make it a viable, productively clean form of energy, but he doesn't.
Romney has also called green jobs "illusory" and fake. Instead of standing out and being different on this issue, he blends in with the background. He could back green jobs and use it as a means to reach out to the moderates out there who want jobs and have enough care for the environment to desire a green job. He could mention how green jobs are the future and that, despite the slow start in green jobs, we must take hold of the future. Mr. Romney, however, would rather pander to the conservatives and the fossil fuel industry, thinking that is the path to win the White House.
Mr. Romney has been called out for flip-flopping on many issues. His current stance on many of these issues, and the way he has changed his mind, has been enough for me to definitely not vote for him. However, his flip-flopping on climate change has brought me to a point to vocally "dis"-endorse him for President of the United States. If a man can willingly deny the facts and pander to big oil just to get elected, what else is he cable of? Mitt Romney is unfit to hold the Executive office of this nation. He does not hear the majority of people, and he does not hear the facts. He only does what he thinks is necessary to win. You actually have to do a job once you win, and it is very difficult, as President Obama has shown us. For my politically right-leaning friends, do yourselves and our nation a favor and not vote for Mitt Romney in 2012.
