Halliburton was closely associated with the administration of President George W. Bush

There's an understatement -- most people don't realize former Halliburton CEO / USA VP Cheney's roots can be traced all the way back to the Nixon whitehouse in the GOP bloodline, and the crossover between Bush senior's job as CIA director for 30 years and Cheney's for-profit interests in para-military and oil drilling, (and Marvin Bush's ties to certain security firms), dwarfs any damage or favor a Google / Democrat connection could ever bring.

...but to stay on topic, I hope congress applies bi-partisan pressure on Google and takes appropriate action to prevent any and all anti-competitive practices in search (from Google or anyone else).
