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.
Last time I was subjected to a new round of their peace and prosperity, I had to look for a new job.
Now, you can't.
Because there aren't any jobs.
Nor peace or prosperity.

I'd go along with that, except that the Republican agenda for the last couple of years has been more about "eradicate any trace of what Obama's doing" than doing anything positive themselves.
I don't see how your conclusion follows from your premise there.
Repealing Obamacare is the number one, highest priority for America right now. It has to happen. If it doesn't, it's going to become like Social Security: a failed socialist program that does nothing but drain our tax dollars but can never be gotten rid of because too many people depend on it.
yes, the the old trope of 'both sides do it'. Jeezus. The scale of the crap that the Republican party does is completely fucked up. In fact, they are more geared towards trying to win elections than actually trying to do any legislation. They are completely bankrupt on ideas. What new ideas have they come up with on economic policy, foreign policy or anything else for that matter? Their ideas is to sell the old 1950s and go back to the good ol days (which wasn't that great) Lord. Conservatives are idealess, idealogues. :P
