We already know from similar exposés that the vast majority of campaign cash from the media industry’s employees goes to left-wing candidates — liberals, Democrats, progressives of every sort — and in a suitably unbalanced fashion, far outpacing the regular population.
Among the contributions from computer and Internet industry employees, their families, and political action committees associated with computer and internet companies, most of the cash (sometimes vastly more, which strikes me as odd) goes to Democrats this 2010 election season.
Google — long suspected by folks like me of being a barely disguised shill for the left— is the leader here, with $456,119 in contributions to candidates, 75 percent of which went to Democrats. Doesn’t this strike you as odd?
Cisco is the second highest contributor in the industry with $557,919 in donations, 67 percent going to liberals.
Microsoft is the top dollar contributor with 60 percent of its nearly $1.3 million in contributions going to Democrats.
And Intel, with 57 percent of its $373,205 in contributions going to Democrats.
As for the Republican beneficiaries:
Akamai Technologies — 56 percent went to Republicans
Dell — 60 percent to Republicans (I use a Dell!)
Go Daddy (the web-hosting and related services company) — 63 percent to Republicans. (I use GoDaddy!)
High Tech Industry Gives More Money to Democrats
Sixty-six percent of contributions from the computers and Internet industry were to Democrats
