I hear you, but still. The GW hoax is about massively expanding the power of the federal government over our lives and our economy, and then using that power to repeal most of the industrial revolution. This is not a minor issue. It is the perfect issue on which the GOP, and conservatives generally, should take a principled stand against such an attempted huge power grab.
Like the recent federal bailout, I need to see much more compelling and conclusive proof that a problem actually exists (and that we can actually do anything meaningful about it — a separate but important issue) before I would even begin considering giving the government vast new powers to regulate CO2 emissions. It is a political loser right now only because the GOP, from President Bush on down, has lacked the political courage to tell the real truth about the GW hoax and the people behind it who stand to make millions under the cap and trade scheme that they want to hoist on the rest of us.
The way to handle it is say it is a serious issue and you’ll appoint a blue ribbon commission to make recommendations and get back to you in 2 or 3 years.
