Google is at it again pushing left wing politics

Every wonder why a company that vows to "Do no Evil" and claims it is only a search engine and not a avenue for promoting some types of information above others such a big advocate of left wing politics?

First Google implements a highly discriminatory advertising policy that runs almost any type of Democratic / left wing attack ad, but prevents Republican ads claiming they violate advertising policies. Google defended their methods until the media got wind of it and then finally pulled the discriminatory ads from their site. But it has been up to it again, letting democratic attack ads through. Maybe they believe that if noone is watching then its ok to do it again.

Now they claim they have no role in this but try it for yourself. Go to Google and type in "failure" and hit "I am feeling lucky". Using its billions in capital raised from its IPO, Google's highly developed and "scientific" search leads you to the white house page for George Bush or other pages that are clearly derogatory in tone and content. Hm....

So Google is at it again. Playing politics and then crying foul when they are questioned about it. Just look at how much Google management and employee have donated to liberal causes / parties and it becomes clear where they real motive lies.

I just hope that next time they need some help in Congress or the executive branch they get what they deserve. Nothing... or maybe even some laws that would help other companies fight against Google's monopoly and unfair business practices of using insider informaiton from other companies to build up its so call "brain trust."

Its a shame too. So much promise from a company that promised to do things differently in its mission statement and even its IPO announcement. Looks like they do not care anymore. Billionaires just do whatever they want.
