In a reversal, Google money goes to GOP over Democrats
The Hill ^ | 10-22-10 | Sarah Jerome

Google's PAC sent 55 percent of its contributions to Republicans between July and October.

Google's political action committee gave more contributions to Republicans candidates than to Democrats, according to an analysis by Consumer Watchdog, a staunch critic of the company.

Between July and October, 55 percent of Google NetPAC's contributions went to Republicans ($57,500). Democrats received 45 percent of contributions ($47,500).

This a change from the last filing, in which Democrats received 58 percent of the contributions and Republicans received 42 percent ($14,000).

Why not just give it all to GOP/Tea Party? 55%/45% pretty weak, IMO. Or give the Dem’s 5%. That would have meaning.

It’s just protection money...i.e., further proof that the Constitution is dead.

Hard to believe...Eric Schmidt of Google is ODumbo’s butt-boy with the Feds and the VP of Google was visited today by Odumbo right after talking with Steve Jobs if they could something for him.

Isn't it ironic that they are doing this at a time that some GOPers are talking about reaching across the aisle?

The voters had better be ready to hold the Republican party’s feet to the fire.

I havent heard much about that “reach across the table” nonsense due to the Tea party holding the RINO’s close to the noose...

Google is owned by the Chinese by now, aren’t they? Could this be a subtle acknowledgement that Democrats have no clue how to grow business and thus how to pay the Chinese back on their investment?

“Which candidates? RINOs”

Exactly what I was going to post.

Google finally figures out who’s lurking behind them, knives in hand, and it ain’t the GOP.

What’s that wh*** word that Brown’s campaign used? Seems to apply to the folks at Google.

If these guys are so smart, why were they giving money to the Dems in the first place?
