They doesn't necessarily mean Republican. Remember, the one documented case of pressure we have in this whole saga was Joe Lieberman (a Democrat) pressuring Amazon.
As to your second point, corporations aren't patriotic, no matter how much you want them to be. If a corporation drops an account, its because the costs of holding the account are outweighing the benefits. Lieberman's pressure raised the costs of hosting Wikileaks to the point that Amazon was unwilling to continue hosting them.
- locopati 16y agoMinor correction - Lieberman is a former Democrat, elected as an Independent after losing the Democratic primary, who happens to caucus with the Democrats, though for the life of me, I cannot understand they put up with him, since he often sides with the Republicans.
