Non partisan honesty...

I cannot.
The cases I have seen where this type of system
works are few. I did read one that worked on a small scale.

But for God's sake why dont Republicans stick to this part
of it and not get involved with the side Science issues
which do not fit their agenda. Republicans just deny
there is any problem. How about "we really dont know
if a man-made climate problem exists, but we do know
for damn sure if there is a problem, this will not fix it."

Why start with slanted BS to begin the argument?
Cut right to the meat. Republicans have discredited
themselves so many times with Science (evolution already
mentioned) that when something legitimate arises the other
side is automatically going to think its disingenous. There
are still Republicans that never believed acid rain existed
or caused any problems.
