Better for hiking: Obama or Romney?
Posted: Oct 26 2012 6:18 am
Admittedly, I have only the smallest amount of data on this (see hereafter), but I'm thinking that Romney is better for hiking than Obama because:
- Romney was in charge of an Olympics
- Romney never did substances
- Obama did substances (which may be a non sequitur because I'm sure many hikers have inhaled, etc.)
- Obama (from what I've seen) seems to be more into screwing oil and other natural resource-based industries opposed to actually promoting outdoor activities (like hiking)
In my opinion, it doesn't follow that being conservative means you're anti-environment (I'm conservative, but I recycle, drive a Prius, am into hiking and camping, and am very stewardship minded) and it doesn't follow that being liberal means you're pro-environment (you might just be de facto anti-development).
But, I don't have much info about Obama's and Romney's documented actions (as opposed to just lip flapping) with regard to (specifically) hiking/camping/backpacking. Does such documentation exist for either?
