Those quotes were from a few Democrats from very, very, very poor districts. They're looking to extract favors for their constituents from financial and telecom companies in districts where patronage employment is a way of survival. I wouldn't take that as the view of the Democratic Party.

My post above compares the record of the parties on patent appeals judges and the split is very different.

Republicans do have an advantage in paying attention to the needs of entrepreneurs in many cases, though. It's an important thing that Democrats could improve.
