To say that both parties are corrupted through the same lobbying processes is to state the plainly obvious. That doesn't mean they're "the same", it simply means you can't trust either of them to significantly change the existing system of graft and corruption once they are in office.

Dennis Kucinich is hardly typical of the majority of the Democratic Party in Congress. He's his own man, and I think he's an honest man. Most of the others are creatures of Big Business, they do what the lobbyists want them to do. Ron Paul is also his own man, as far as I can see, and he's a Republican. This isn't a matter of party preference, it's a matter of identifying systemic corruption of the political process in Washington no matter which party is guilty of pandering to it.

I have, as yet, received not one red cent from anyone to say this, Bobert...nor do I expect to. ;-D You're implying that GfS is a Republican? Not a chance. GfS doesn't believe in either one of those parties.
