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.

BHAHAHAHAHA Dole Bush McCain Romney???? If these are social conservatives then I’m a black leader of the NAACP.
F— Wall Street. They can keep giving their money to Leftists. It’s better than way — the GOP candidates will owe them nothing.
And Soros, who supports an Orwellian 1984-type society, supports the left as his tool, and could buy and sell most of the few billionaires on the right.
Oh well, get used to it. Cruz or lose.

Wall Street considers anyone who attends church at least once a year a radical Conservative.
Yahoo: shilling for leftists since 2002...

A series of conservative GOP candidates Wall Street funded? A series?
Like Mitt Romney. Conservative?
John McCain, conservative?
Bob Dole, conservative?
Even GW Bush was no friend of conservatives they way he expanded government on debt, and empowered the flourishing police state, and insuring every illegal alien was given a liar loan for a McMansion.
Wall Street supporting conservatives. Don’t make me laugh.
It’s not even a publication. It’s a blog with less than 50 employees.
Wall Street gives to whomever is in charge. But the democrats under Obama have been the largest crony organization in history. Bailouts, handouts, subsidies, regulation that eliminates the competition. Why wouldn’t they give to democrats. This would also explain the republicans fighting so hard for Obamatrade. It’s all about duh Benjamins.
you stated this better than i.
Since society has become tolerant of corruption, graft, and being thrown under the bus by politicians Wall Street no longer feels the need to pretend. Traditionally the dems have represented union interests over corporations. This is no longer the case they are all for sale now and can just as easily be bought.
The Wall Street Journal proves it knows a thing or two about bad investments. They keep telling us to vote for people like McCain and Romney and they keep losing.
Henry Blodgett, editor of Business Insider, clearly doesn’t care much about social issues, particularly the seventh commandment against stealing. While working at Merrill Lynch he was cited for fraud and permanently barred from securities industry.
Corporations are without a doubt the biggest threat to the republic, even more so then pure socialists. Corporations are lazy, they like one stop shopping for power and influence. They would love all power to be consolidated in the Presidency, that is their ultimate fascistic goal. Then they would only have one guy to buy influence from so they can reach their ultimate goal of a fixed market share and no competition.
This article is a load of crap. In the first place ‘Wall Street’ has given more to democraps in the last 25 years than they’ve ever given to the GOP.
I suspect what they mean isn't that Wall Street gave money to the most socially conservative Republicans, but that every Republican nominee has to claim to be pro-life, and Wall Street is tired of that.
That happened a while back. A lot of Wall Street have been Democrats for years, and those who still give to Republicans haven't been too happy about it for some time. Anyway, whoever wrote the article isn't talking about Bachmann or Cain or Santorum, but about what even the most liberal Republicans have had to say to get the presidential nomination.
Gay issues are a little murkier. Even Obama had to claim to be against gay marriage the first time he ran, so Republicans were hardly outside the mainstream. Very quickly, though, Wall Street has come to embrace the gay agenda and that's another reason why they aren't crazy about Republicans anymore.
This is BS, they got exactly who they wanted.
