I was thinking more of the rich elite they are drawn from. After all it costs a lot to run for President.

ok, sure, but then the exact same argument could be made: while there are some individuals, companies and organizations the contribute in bi-partisan ways, many others do not, for instance, George Soros and the Koch brothers, or organized labor vs religious institutions.

Not all our owners are as heartless as others. It has always been the way. Right back to the Cadbury Housing scheme of Bournville. Does that mean they are truly benevolent?

I've only argued that the parties are different

Fair enough, I don't disagree on that. Shades of grey though perhaps?

depending on your perspective: a black teenage lesbian who is pregnant or in need of contraceptives might disagree (I guess she would have to be bisexual for the point to work, but you get what I'm saying, ya?)

On some issues, no disagreement, the parties are identical, and sure, many of those issues have to do with corporate influence on government.

Oh, I don't disagree with what you are saying at all on issues like freedom of expression, they are very different.
