I'll use the best and most efficient search engine regardless of their donations unless it influences their web page

A Freeper told months ago how they kept cancelling his Google ad that linked to a site that sold conservative bumper stickers and such. No such policy regarding the exact same merchandise of liberal persuasion, though.

Republicans must work hard to win support from a company whose employees seem philosophically wed to Democrats - and why is that?

Yahoo used to be good because from 2002-2004 it used googles search engine.
It switched to its own search engine in February 2004.

I just tried Ask Jeeves. Here's a link to their employee donations (Dean, Kerry, etc.):

Yahoo has a few people giving to Republicans:

Many of these high-tech chiefs don't want to be percieved as geeks, even though they are. They see themselves as cutting-edge....so no conservatives here.
A very good friend works with the brother of the President of Google. Total geekazoid/dork. You could drag a corn dog past his cubicle and he jump on it. He prefers to keep old computers in use long after they ought to be dumped, just to save a buck.

Lycos is just as bad:

Is there something wrong with that? (Reply posted from my circa 1999-2000 computer.)

By Google!!!

metacrawler is apparently owned by Infospace. Check out the principals at:

I checked a few of them at www.opensecrets.org and it looks like at least as many gave to Republicans as gave to RATs. They are apparently based in Bellvue, WA and I noted contributions to Jennifer Dunn, Bush, etc., as well as one board member from AOL who gave to Kerry. Too bad. He lost his money.

My problem is that Google does a really good job - which SUCKS.

Here in Texas, a Company from California, 21st Century Insurance, which doesn't seem to have much of a political agenda is about to clean the clock of Progressive (a company even more socialist than its name). I used 21st in CA when I lived there (a while back) and they were great.

You could try contacting them at gblog@google.com

Their blog is located here- http://www.google.com/googleblog/

I can't find a site at http://www.vivisiom.com/

The big advantage to me of google is their cache, so you can see sites when they are down and/or as they were a few days ago. I remember when the Saudi embassy for the first time put out a visa web page and it said, accurately, no Jews allows. They changed it, after a day or two of scandal, in order to hide their true policy, but you could still see the old page on google. I do not think any other search engine can match this because google has such an enormous bank of computers.

I don't normally worry about the politics of people I am paying for goods and services, so I certainly am not going to worry when I don't pay. How much money do you pay your dentist, and how many of them are Democrats?
