Isn’t ATT headquartered in TX somewhere? It would make sense that he is beneficiary of their political dollars, no?
I say let 'em merge.
It just seems like yesterday when a Federal Judge ordered the Breakup of AT & T. How time flies.
How is it that Democrats support the merger? Obama admin stopped it.
The writer obviously has a preconceived thesis and is trying to retrofit.
And if there's one thing Gooniuns don't give a flying fig about, it's competition.
I say let 'em merge.
Carry on.
When is the coffee going to kick in?
Is there some reason to not support it?
I’m an AT&T stock holder, and I support it.
Does AT&T promise more jobs in the long-term? So did Vice President Joe Biden with Solyndra.
Useless argument, as far as logic goes. The rejoinder has the effect of undermining ANY promise of jobs by ANYBODY, ANYWHERE: "Does ______ promise more jobs in the long-term? So did Vice President Joe Biden with Solyndra." [cue ominous music]
I really do want to know about Perry's dirty laundry if it's there, but I'd rather read about it in an article that's a little higher on the intellect scale.
Just throwing crap at the wall to see if any of it sticks. Not surprising for a Saint Sarah supporter.
The Obama Administration is against the merger, therefore, I am for it! end of argument!
Yeah, well, Perry would still make a better President than the one we have now, Joe Romaine. You cabbage-head.
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.
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
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.
Funny how Bain Capital (founded by Mitt Romney) donates 84% of their contributions to DemocRats in 2012 is not mentioned here.
