Look into the amounts of money they raised and contributed to ObaMao. Also, look closely at S. Jobs' political affiliation and history.
Apple/Mac is absolutely nothing to promote or idolize if you consider yourself a dedicated Conservative. They play a major role in the downfall of this country, both morally and philosophically. You cannot deny that fact, but probably will in spite of it.
Aw, not this sh*t again.
Then again, Bill Gates is the largest single contributor to UN Population Control....ABORTION...in the world. Why would I finance the liberal culture of death by buying anything associated with Microsoft?
Why are you asking us? We're down on MSFT stuff.
You could ask Microsoft fans the same question.
Maybe because we just like computers that WORK! That we don't have to replace every 2 years cos they are so bloated with spyware and viri that we think they're broken. Maybe we're smarter than that. Yeah, I'm going with that.
The politics of the company that made my computer matters not a whit to me when it's 4 o'clock and my 10 page paper is due at 5. All that matters to me is that my computer will produce what I want, when I want, without having to call some IT geek to fix it for me.
I have no dog in this fight, since I don’t use Mac or Windows, but...
...if you’re going to criticize Apple for its political contributions, maybe you ought to look at:
http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638
where you will find that Microsoft was the fourth-biggest contributor to Barack Hussein Obama.
University of California $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs $994,795
Harvard University $854,747
Microsoft Corp $833,617
Google Inc $803,436
So, if you don’t want to contribute to leftist causes, your best bet is to run Linux (since it’s free).
My life was immeasurably blessed by Steve Jobs, Apple and the Mac.
I changed careers when Dr. Paul and Aldus released PageMaker and Apple released postscript printers, and I’ve upgraded since then to InDesign, Photoshop and Dreamweaver and my current batch of Macs. They’ve allowed me to be successful and happy in my career.
I’ve tried PC’s but they don’t work as good at handling large files, CMYK color spaces and exporting files to service bureaus.
Jobs and Apple are excellence personified, I’ve seen it with my own eyes for many, many years, and yeah, they’re liberal, but ALL OF SILICON VALLEY IS LIBERAL.
Microsoft, Google, Oracle, they’re all hard-core Leftists, if you want to take the attitude that you must only use conservative computer programs, you’d probably be limited to Corel in Utah and HP in Boise...and even then I’d have my doubts about how conservative they are.

Microsoft employees contributed much more to Obama than Apple employees. Both as a total amount and as a percentage of.
