GOP's warnings for corporations face Texas tests: The Note 'Corporate America has no home in the Republican Party anymore': Rahm Emanuel Replay Video Mitt Romney was right on the facts, if wrong on the politics, when he told hecklers in Iowa nearly a decade ago that "corporations are people." They are people who, confronted with the reality that silence on political issues means taking a side, have gotten involved in heated debates over voting rights. They are also people who are having trouble figuring out who their friends are these days. Now comes a test of the GOP's new corporate feuds and newly strained relationships in business-friendly Texas. Democrats are using fallout from Georgia to apply pressure ahead of further legislative action expected Thursday -- again signaling that silence will be heard.
