Silicon Valley Swings To Republicans
phantomfive writes Silicon Valley is making a mark in Washington as Google has recently replaced Goldman as the largest lobbyist, but until recently, most of the money from Silicon Valley went to democratic candidates. In 2014, that has changed, and Republicans are getting most of the money. Why the change? Gordon Crovitz suggests it's because Harry Reid blocked patent reform. Reid gets a large chunk of donations from trial lawyers, who oppose the reform.
I don't remember that at all. You can trace back when that whole Contract with America started and Newt changed the ideology of the Republican party. They win elections now, but they are batshit crazy. They also set up personality cults like our friend Reagan, who would be drummed out of the party today because he's way too moderate.
you spelled democrat wrong
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
