Yes, and he may be strongest of all on climate; but that said, his poll #s are very low. MH1 Jul 2015 #3

Criminalization of investigative journalism?

Curtailment of civil rights to fight the 'war' on 'terror'?

Blowing up innocent children in Third World countries with drone missiles to keep us 'safe'?

Waging aggressive, elective wars?

Supporting the Israeli occupation of Palestine?

Propping up brutal dictators?

Orchestrating coups?

Condoning torture?

On these issues the Parties are the same.

He understands Global Warming as well. There is a big difference between DEMS and the GOP, period.

I'm leaning O'Malley (but still like Bernie and Hillary), partly because he is so strong on the environment. But until his poll numbers get off the ground, I won't begrudge meme-makers too much for leaving him out. (Although dang it, if they would start including him maybe his poll numbers would improve and we'd start hearing more from him. Sigh.)
