Care to provide an example where MS less left-wing than Apple or Apple is more left-wing than MS?
Here is a list of Job's campaign contributions All very left including Rahm Emanuel. OTOH, he hasn't written a check since 2004.
And here is a list of Bill Gate's contributions Some Pubs but the vast majority for Dems including Nancy Pelosi in 2008, and he's still writing checks.
And Jobs has had the guts to take on that lib scared cow the teachers union and to not let himself be greenmailed by the enviro-whackos.
All in all, I say that in 2009 Jobs is the one doing our side the most good.
And that's not even taking into account Gates' fanaticism for abortion.
