We MUST make people aware of his destructive attitudes toward science and reality.

There is no mention of either Romney or Ryan on their homepage, and a site search for either brings up nothing.<br /><br />I'm aware of all their other extremely conservative (and in my opnion, destructive) stances on tax breaks, Medicare, "unshackling" Wall Street, etc. as you point out. I chose to focus on the environment because this is a nature blog, and it seems none of the major media are focusing on this issue (aside from the one day when the PBS news hour did contrast the coal and wind power speeches) so I wanted my nature-oriented readers here to be aware of this.

For additional information about Ryan's very negative environmental record, please check out:<br /><br />http://truth-out.org/news/item/10855-meet-paul-ryan-climate-denier-conspiracy-theorist-koch-acolyte<br /><br />and<br /><br />http://grist.org/politics/paul-ryans-budget-plan-is-very-nice-to-big-oil/<br /><br />It is significant that the conservative group “Republicans for Environmental Protection (www.REP.org), recently renamed ConservAmerica, was only able to endorse four percent of Republican congressional candidates in the 2010 midterm elections because so many Republicans are in denial about climate change and other environmental threats. was able to name on<br /><br /><br />When one also considers Ryan’s other VERY conservative policies, including supporting major tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and highly profitable corporations, cutting programs that most Americans depend on, destroying Medicare, reducing Pell grants, and so much more, I think it is essential that the Romney-Ryan team be defeated in November.<br />Richard H.
