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.

Don’t believe anything you read on Yahoo. It’s worse than People Magazine.

Nice, I am getting tired of the big wall street donors.
They are quite free to keep electing democrats though.
But the people they would prefer from the GOP will not get my vote.

Sheeeeyit. As if Wall Street hasn't been funding 'RATS for years.
They only supported 'Pubs to give 'RATS ammunition for their supposed support of rich eeeeeeeeeeeeevil Republicans.

How quickly they forget that “social conservatives” are what spared us a “President Kerry” in 2004!

Wall Street is getting tired of funding socially conservative Republicans running for president SO? "Wall Street" isn't giving to a politician, they are buying the politician. Let them buy a liberal democrat instead and let the rest of the citizenry elect a leader who isn't bought.

WE need to change our views about lowering these peoples taxes. They need to pay and that is all their is to it. Not because they are rich but because it is becoming increasingly obvious that these rich Republicans and their gentry lib friends are the problem.

Oh Really!?!
For YEARS, Ever Since I have been an Adult I have heard "We need to put Ecomnic Issues over Social Issues" and now they feel we have been pushing Social Issues too hard!?
The Fall of the Iron Curtain has been an unexpected bane for Conservatives, we should have Shipped this People off to East Germany when we had the chance, where they could live in their utopia and be protected from our ideas and life styles with their nice walls and guards.

There is something like a grain of truth in there, but it's hard to find under all the spin.

So they want to fund Occutards who want to kill them? Or maybe Occutards are a false flag run by them to create a pool of workers who cannot innovate and need corporations?

I beg your pardon.
Yahoo brings all the latest news on the trashy Kardashian family each day; at least one of them.
Oh wait, you’re correct.
