Of course both parties have wealthy donors, but to suggest that the fact of a similarity means you can't make any distinctions is beyond misleading. And if you look at what Dean is doing, going after smaller donors, I think you'll find it's a healthy change from the recent past.

It made me laugh because OW, and apperantly you, are rather naive. Both parties are beholden to big money groups, be they businesses, unions, or even wealthy individuals (celebrities, George Soros, ect...). You folks who cheer for the democrats can claim no moral superiority in that regard. Just take a look at the personal finances of elected members of both parties. For the most part they come from the same well-connected, wealthy class of society. I can’t speak for SaveFerris, but I am not a republican, Damek.

Hilarious to see Republicans pretending they're not the party of deep pocketed donors who are as far from regular people as anyone can get. Maybe you can easily forget your elites base, but I'm pretty sure your RNC leaders are quite aware of who is most important to them. Aaaaahhhahahahahahaha!
