Reading the comments on the thread, it appears that a fair number of your fellow FReepers care.

Yes, and it surprises me. Are we going to start boycotting everyone who happened to donate to the Democratic party? Since Google has never tried to proselytize any sort of liberal message to anyone as far as I can tell, why does it matter if they gave some money to the "other side?"

Besides, it sure didn't seem to make a difference how much money the Dems had in the end.

I'm going to keep using the best search engine I know of, and that' currently Google. If someone else comes along that is better, I'll consider using that. It boggles the mind that anyone could care that much about what party someone gave to, that they would start a boycott. What's next, not talking to a friend because they gave to the Dems?

For the time being, I'll continue to use Google too because I think they're the best, or at the least, they're very very good and I'm comfortable and familiar with them. But it does bother me to patronize such a company. I think that's a normal human reaction.
