GOP leaders argue, among other things, that it is unfair to single out a specific industry, regardless of how unpopular that industry may be.
...or how much they donate..

Like I said already. My reply to that argument is "This is just the beginning. We'll get to the other industries like farming, cell/fios/internet/banking/ect shit later."

On the other hand, no this will never happen. They've been playing this game for too many years. I wonder if they do this public politicking just to get their donors (read corporate masters) to cough up more cash.
