Excellent question. Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft (Hotmail) are all libs. AOL and TimeWarner are also libs.

I too love gmail and google. I have just been enlightened to these facts about their support of the Dems. I wish to have nothing to do with them in light of this. Beside Yahoo, are there any other more conservative email providers available?
Thanks.

Yahoo search and Yahoo news are perfectly acceptable alternatives, although I must admit that Google Maps rule.

There’s a BIG difference between ‘Google Supports Democrats’ and ‘People Who Happen to Work for Google Support Democrats’.
What exactly are you upset about? Do you think the company should ban anyone who works for it from making donations to political parties?
Should Democrats likewise begin targeting your employer because you donate to Republicans?

Google Employee’s favor Democrats

It seems that many employees of Google prefer the Democratic Party over the Republicans.
Although this shouldn’t surprise many people, especially if one would note that Google does reside in California which generally is not republican friendly te…

Hmm…that is very sad to hear. Especially since I am a fan of Google’s. Although many in the Google community are democrats, the fact that they don’t think greatly disturbs me (they have knowledge, but no wisdom). Selah!
