How come when I answer any government/elections category question: I have to see paid for by Hillary ad next to the questions. I thought Yahoo claims to not be affiliated or promoting any candidate speel. So how come yahoo Answers is Promoting Hillary by allowing her this ad and it's position on the page. I guess yahoo lies just like hillary.....

Footnote: YAHOO HAS IN WRITING THAT THEY DON'T SUPPORT OR ENDORESE ANY OF THE CANDIDATES! Isn't that illegal to make one claim and assert another position?

That's why. Hillary's campaign is paying Yahoo for those ads to run. Yahoo also gets additional money every time someone clicks on her ad. They have to make money somehow. I ignore her ad like I do all the others.
I'm sure that somewhere in Yahoo's "terms of service" (which I fondly call the Lawyer's Chorus) there is a statement that says they do not endorse or support any advertiser. That would cover them in this situation. If any other candidate pays them, they'll get advertising space too.

Two possible answers...
1. Find out the political orientation of the head of advertising for Yahoo and you'll find your answer.
2. Yahoo is a company who has shareholders and needs to make money to stay in business and the Hillarious Clinton is willing to spend the bucks.

Just because Hillary's ads run does not mean that Yahoo is affiliated with or promoting her. If she paid for advertisement then Yahoo is within their right and their own rules. If another candidate would like to pay for ad space on Yahoo I'm certain their money is just as welcome.
If Yahoo and Hillary lie, and you don't like it, I have a suggestion for you:- don't vote for her and don't use Yahoo.

Because the Clintons have the war chest and the organizations who are buying the nomination for Hillary with their obscene donations which could better benefit our Country. Of course, these organizations, unions, billionaires will have to be paid back if Hillary is elected and we will all be taxed to make this payment. I'm so sick of looking at her face. She and Pelosi look like they are constantly wearing masks. Real crocodile smiles. Please note who is paying for this lunacy.
The Dems cannot wait to start taxing every area of our lives again. No matter your income, you are going to pay more taxes as long as the liberal Dems are determined that the USA will become a Socialist society. It's coming!

It is slick marketing on part of Hillary's campaign. They pay for it so let them have it. Do you think even one person will vote for her because they see that ?

OH, it's Hillary? And here I thought it was an ad for Beetlejuice.
