I support the merger too ... and I'm not Perry or a Democrat and didn't receive any money from any of them.

Due to the amount of money large corporations donate to political parties/candidates, I wonder how many decisions/votes are made by politicians where 'winner' companies did NOT have money in the game.

In a battle between the unions and the crony capitalists, we lose either way.

When you say the unions don’t care about competition, you mean competition played by the rules.

Crony capitalists have exactly the same problem.

You didnt prove anything about shipping jobs to India. You just said your friend there has a good plan.

And T-Mobile is not an American company in the first place.

Ahhh so they don’t offshore jobs, cool. pfft

These are all global companies and their profit margins care more for that, then for America.

Three posts of accusations with no proof.

And of course T-Mobile is global, it is a German company. You could probably say that they are outsourcing their jobs here, those darn globalists.

This leftist rag was removed from the Delta frequent fl-yer lounge due to its a bard left Bristish propaganda rag.

This a very hard left socialist rag ?
Your anti- capitalism and a left too?

I think you need to move to the DU / Daily Koz websites if your peddling this crap .

Your hatred of Perry is oddly extreme and in fact you never criticize the Marxist in the WH ???

Is Perry your enemy and Barry off limits ?

I still can not believe someone posted left wing propaganda from this British rag !
Perry had not

AT&T has been giving a majority of their contributions to Republicans since 1996 :

The FCC and Holder’s Just-Us Department are blocking the merger, probably at the request of Obama.

Wow ! What a huge scandal that a $170 Billion dollar publicly traded company that is headquartered in Texas and donates mostly to Republicans - actually donated to the Republican Governor of Texas. /s

Proof? Look at their public SEC reports. Pretty stupid argument

I take it you aren’t a person who wants America to stay strong.

Thanks. I think I'd make a better president than Obama, too. ;-)

Oh, sure, my name's spelled a bit different, but no one cares anymore about the details or specifics about people's names when they're running for president--Obama, Soetoro...Barack, Barry...Urkle, Erkyl...who cares?

Have you noticed the more deranged and extreme the Perry haters have gotten ?

Now we see posts from hard left socialist rags and donating to the GOP is evil ?

You’re welcome!!!

It would be pretty hard to make a worse POTUS so I took the safe bet.

Coward. Prove your own accusations. Learn about the companies before you go around looking like a moron. Deutsche Telekom is not in the business of making America strong, but they still provide Americans with jobs. We are benefiting from outsourcing in that aspect.

So you like to talk behind peoples back.

Please point out one lie, just one.

Perry isn’t the anointed one. I’d prefer any candidate be properly vetted instead of worshiped.

Learn about them? I’ve worked in the telecom industry and around them for years. I know how they treat their customers and their employees.

They have shipped as many jobs overseas as they could, and are searching for ways to ship more. They aren’t creating jobs, they are destroying them.

Benefiting from outsourcing, ha. Yeah my company benefits so much when the competition wins all the contracts.

eople hee are missing the main point. It isn’t whether the merger is good or bad, it is that Perry is hooked to big corporate donations. Palin really has hit the nail on the head that it isn’t just socialism that is killing us, but crony capitalist socialism. While Perry might have been perfect for ten years ago, the nation is lost unless completely restructured financially - in many ways we are in as bad or worse shape as Greece.

When the shtf will Perry deliver by cutting off the corporations? I am at this point unconvinced.

Noticed is an understatement. Deranged has turned into unhinged.

Funny how few anti Romney posts I see here lately.
