Wall Street is threatening to cut off the spigot ahead of 2014 in the face of disappointing results.

WALL STREETERS WERE APPARENTLY UNAWARE UNTIL NOW THAT REPUBLICANS ARE CRAZY HOMOPHOBES WHO HATE THE URBAN NORTHEAST

I love the lede of this Politico story:

Wall Street donors and bundlers plunged hundreds of millions of dollars into the GOP's effort to take back the White House and Senate this year -- and now some are threatening to cut off the spigot ahead of 2014 in the face of disappointing results.

New York donors have a list of complaints: Republicans focused too much on social issues, backed too many weak candidates, stalled Hurricane Sandy aid and even let taxes go up for the very rich -- in other words, the very people giving the money and their friends....

Donors, too, have been perplexed at the focus of some Senate GOP candidates on social issues.

"There is a vein throughout the Republican Party of people who are very socially liberal. You don't live in New York City, which exalts in its diversity, in all these things that happen here if you have a problem," said one veteran Republican New York fundraiser of the frustration with the party's stance on social issues. "Everybody who lives here -- everyone has lots of gay friends, friends of color, Muslims, that’s the world you live in. It's not exotic. It's part of the fabric of life."

Of course, Wall Street will not actually give less to republicans. They were not upset about the republican base's horrible positions on social issues as long as they thought it motivated the base to elect republicans who, in turn, took care of Wall Street while playing the base for all it was worth.

Suddenly now Wall Street is shocked - shocked - that the right wing base is so backward on social issues. The hypocrisy is almost funny if it were not so serious.

1. It might be that they know now that the dems aren't prosecuting their corruption.

so it doesn't matter to them who wins. I'm not saying there is no difference. I will never vote repub. But, I am disappointed that there is no accountability for wall street corruption.
