The first doesn't apply only to Republicans. Just look at all the liberal/progressive activist organizations and who funds them. They are ultimately funded by rich guys (ie, "moneyed interests." Just check out the activist cash website I posted a while back. The concept that progressives/liberals are the oppressed poor guys is only a facade they must propagate to continue playing the big government game.
Having said that, I agree with you guys. And I truly believe that treating the exotic animal issue as a Dem. vs. Republican problem is a losing strategy. It's a freedom/liberty issue, not a Dem. vs. Republican issue. IMO, groups representing the reptile hobby should be encouraging everyone, not just reptile owners, to vote Libertarian or at least join the Tea Party. Constantly writing letters to corrupt politicians and offering up compromise laws/regulation might work in the short term, but the only possible long term solution is to change the system back to the way it is supposed to be - limited government.
Thanks,
Ed
