If * destroys the online economy by gaining access to search engines'
databases, will this translate to less corporate money going to Repukes, and more to Dems (assuming our leaders take the opposite stance and support Americans' constitutional right to privacy)?

2. I think their motivation is political terrorism.
The open exchange of information and truth which occurs across the Internet is their greatest fear. By making people feel Internet activism, just between Democrats of course, will be used against them in who knows how many ways, the bushies hope it will shut down this important communication tool.

3. Intimidate, scare, and control.
But it wouldn't surprise me if there were money to be made for them also.

4. Dismantle Google to replace it with a 100% rightwing search engine?

Kind of like the media take-over. Yep, kills 2 birds with 1 stone. Good plan, Karl.
