More than "Rand Paul & Ted Cruz"

Really? Like most "modern" Republican federal office holders, Rand Paul
and Ted Cruz are *not* friends of the environment or efforts to protect
it. You might think that those sorts of positions would make them
anathema to pleasure boaters and sport fishermen.

There is a huge difference between really protecting the environment
and stupid regulations that do not really protect anything.
The Manatee speed zones are a great example. There is no indication
from what I see looking at manatee all the time that they even try to
get out of the way of a boat going at slow/no wake speed. They seem to
swim toward the boat as often as anything, attracted by the pee stream
I suppose. If you are sitting still, they will swim right up and put
their nose on the lower unit.
I was "rammed" abeam by one, while I was poking along at dead idle in
Jew Fish Creek.

Oh, so since you were inconvenienced by manatee protection regs, it's ok
for the leaders of your party to be opposed to all environmental
protection? I get it.
