The Republican Party — both halves, presumably — are doing for Uber what they’ve done with Tesla by throwing its support for the way the ridesharing service is disrupting the status quo of ferrying passengers to and fro.
Jalopnik reports the GOP has put up an online petition on its site asking its friends and voting base to throw their support behind Uber’s fight against “taxi unions and liberal government bureaucrats… issuing strangling legislations and unnecessary red tape” aimed at barring it and other transportation network companies from doing business.
That said, it’s little more than a call-to-arms, with nothing else in the way of plans and/or solutions offered, nor any way to contact legislators who could serve as Uber’s allies.

Substance? Hmm let me just scroll through these comments- unsubstantiated claims, mudthrowing, bullying and piling on, all in response to a baited headline on a car web site. I'm with you Kosmo.
Guys, Robin Williams died today and you're still arguing about this. Shut up.
OP: >>The Republican Party — both halves, presumably — are doing for Uber what they’ve done with Tesla by throwing its support for the way the ridesharing service is disrupting the status quo of ferrying passengers to and fro.
I like the title. Sums it up in a nutshell.
