The GOP lets big business buy its votes. The Dems let big business and the unions and those who seek wealth redistribution buy their vote. An argument can be made that the GOP is at least more honest about its whorishness, since it doesn't pretend to be helping the poor while also taking handouts from big business, which the Dems do.

I didn't say they were any different in where they get their money. I said they were different in what they do with it.

But in the end, I agree with Coltrane. The parties are just different colored bags of shit. Same product inside.
BTW, take a look at how much Abramoff money Chucky Rangel took, and take a spin through google to see the myriad reasons offered by Chuck for not returning the money or giving it to charity, as many GOP lawmakers have (embarrassingly) quickly done.

You take one Dem who hasn't returned Indian (not Abramoff, a distinction Dean made over the weekend but which I'll not sign on to) money and compare him to some (but not all) Republicans who got religion all of a sudden and your point is -- what? I might as well point out the money that bush took from Abramoff and hasn't returned, and the point would be as meaningless.
