Re: are the days of Republicorp numbered? nothing is absolute. But what I see out of congress on the repub side is not good. I am not saying Dems any good either but its less problematic that what I see from the repub side. Remember the goal of repubs is to get rid of Obama even if it means shooting usa in the foot. The justice dept and the FCC are headed by Obama appointees. The stopped ATT. Then congress sorta piled on. Pretty sure all the top people like Stephenson at ATT are big repubs as they all want romney tax rates. Also I dont recall any congressional votes on this. So who was against it etc was all talk

| Don't be foolish. This isn't Democrat or Republican. It's money, plain and simple. And they write the big checks to whoever happens to be in power at the time they need something done (or to not be done). Which happens to be mostly Democrats at the present. |

| I dont disagree. But I think my point is correct that there was no vote in the house (Repub controlled now) or the senate (60 votes to do anything under repub fillibuster tactics) and that the FCC and Justice dept headed by Obama people started the ball rolling on stopping this. There are lots of dems and repubs who need re-election money and will take it from just about anyone. And we know from SOPA and Sen Stevens "tubes" comments that most (repub or dem) dont understand the net, wireless or spectrum issues.

| Of course they don't understand these issues. The only thing they understand is greenbacks, and LOTS of them. |

| As it was put so succinctly a few years back on an interview with Sen Hollingsworth as I recall..."The legislation is all written on K St. Legislators dont read that stuff. They dont have the time... they are too busy raising reelection money..."

But your first statement was.
And who were the biggest supporters of SOPA and PIPA? Democrats with Harry Reid leading the way.
