Re: Why blame Verizon? So you're implying lobbying dollars were a bribe to gain regulatory approval for this sale? Quite the accusation. |

What more proof do you want put in from of you so you can refuse to accept?? Greasing the politicians palms with campaign money to get what they want is nothing more than paying them off. |

kudos:2 | And the same can be said for any other person/entity that has ever contributed a dollar to a campaign. I don't see any proof that Verizon bought regulatory approval to sell assets to Fairpoint. |

| Uh...how about the fact that only Verizon benefits from this, and everyone with even a tiny bit of intelligence opposed the sale from the beginning?
If not for Verizon`s lobbying dollars, why else would regulators have approved of the sale? |

kudos:2 | So now we're guilty until proven innocent? I'll be more than happy to believe the accusations if you can show me that Verizon was shown favoritism by regulators because they dropped money in politicians' pockets. |
