I'd argue that it's not money in politics. The democrats and republicans get tons of money from tons of different interest groups and industries, yet the the only party that voted whatsoever for this bill were Republicans. The problem isn't the money, it's the ideology.

Or that tech companies are a democrat lobby and telecoms are a republican lobby.

Democrats wouldn't apply this rule to search engines or email. Why? Because tech companies would flip out.

Democrats are free to vote ideology when it's a GOP ox that is going to get gored. And vice versa.
