Is Google liberal or conservative?

 Or should it be aligning with any ideology at all? Google is taking some heat for strengthening its ties with the GOP to protect regulations that are advantageous to its business. The tech giant who was a major source of President Obama's campaign funding and came out in support of liberal policies such as support for gay marriage, relaxed immigration standards and reduction of carbon emissions is now being labeled a hypocrite by some.

The issue? The fact that Google took any ideological stances to begin with. If Google had remained politically neutral, nobody would sniff at the newfound cash flow to the right. But Google has developed an image that people hold it accountable to, and unfortunately for Google, anti-regulatory legislation that benefits its business doesn't exactly align with its liberal platform.
