I don't think that's a requirement for Bob's statement to be true...at least in the general sense. I would tend to believe that the acquisition of wealth/power/prestige is the prime mover of most people in the leadership teams of top companies. They find a Republican party that considers them the folks that give jobs to the rest of us, and that believes that they earn every penny of the salary very much aligned with their interests. Your main interest, as far as I can tell, is international affairs, and the judicious use of American strength in the world. You feel that the Republican party best represents your main interests.
