Wall Street is getting tired of funding socially conservative Republicans running for president

For years, when it came to presidential candidates, Wall Street made huge compromises in order to support the Republican Party.

The money men in New York City set aside their socially liberal views in order to support fiscally conservative candidates because that was the only way to get on the same page as the GOP base.

The result has been a series of candidates Wall Street's big donors didn't really want.

It seems those donors are getting tired of that outcome.

The real money is in backing liberal Democrats. How many millionaires did Solyndra create?

I am tired of The Republican party fronting LOSERS.

I’m getting tired of big monied interests partnering with the State and media stooges to fill their pockets at the expense of my once great country.

Oh Yeah! Name one?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Was that Mitt Romney? No.

Was that John McCain? No.

I guess that could be George W. Bush, but he rewarded them with cheap labor, so they really have nothing to complain about.

We don’t have to win we just have to scare them. Your post shows my thinking is not alone. There seems to be a shifting of opinion among conservatives when it comes to faithless allies.

[SharpRightTurn]

Supporting Republicans is nothing more than a hedge for these blood suckers.

There are two things wrong with abandoning “conservative social issues":

1. ”conservative social issues” are true, and

2. ”conservative social issues” are the foundation of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution - and of the prosperity and freedom which follows from their application.

Hey, Wall Street: “How was it working out for you when Obama was threatening to send hordes of black thugs to harass a Wall Street guy and his family at home - to the point where he “voluntarily” surrendered money that he worked for and had title to.

At bottom, “social issues” undergird all property rights:

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?

too bad for them

The game is finally on the table. Heads, they win; tails, we lose. Now that the corporate fascists control both sides of the aisle, they feel free to say what they think of us. This is national socialism - a marriage of those whose God is the state and those whose God is money. It is not capitalism or even “crony capitalism” as some like to call it. The world has seen this before, and it is textbook Fascism.

B.S. Here are the GOP candidates that Wall Street "money" has foisted upon us. These are NOT social conservatives:

Mitt Romney
John McQueeg
Bush II
Dole
Bush I

[mrsmel]

They don’t believe in any political ideology, left, right, or “center”, they believe in their own elitism. They wouldn’t have wanted to live in any country no matter its politics unless they ran it (and who controls the money, controls those who make the rules and laws).

[Paulie]

Exactly - and much more coming...

[pleasenotcalifornia]

Thanks for the post. I suppose another name for these bastards is supra-nationalists, who have little loyalty to this Republic or the ideals upon it was founded.

[Mr Rogers]

Who was the supposed socially conservative candidate they funded? McCain? Romney? GWB?

We haven’t had a social conservative running for President since 1984.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Right you are, sir.

Their top priority is replacing the people who still hold the Constitution dear with fraudulently documented foreigners.

If anyone knew about cheap labor it was Mitt Romney, who preferred illegals at his home it seems, in fact, seemed determined to have illegals at his residence, even as Governor and in spite of suffering scandal over it.

[kvanbrunt2]

well now socialists in new york want more socialism. why not. when the fed stops printing money and if ever return to sound monetary policy they will all be called waiters.

AKA globalism, a global oligarchy across the increasingly nebulous “borders” of productive, or potentially productive, areas. I imagine that such things as NAFTA and the EU are forerunners of the 10 regions of Revelation.

You mean the guys that want to destroy us by mass invasion?
