#5 here should be #1, by a mile. Here in Texas, Google is carpet-bombing local TV with ads blasting the bipartisan AIAOC as an attack on American technology by "tha lib'rals," cynically exploiting the political division to scare off Republican votes. They're laundering their money through the Koch brothers' Taxpayer's Protection Alliance. The ads might be a little less effective if they ended with a big "paid for by Google" banner and voice-over.
