What is a Democrat - A Republican? What do they individually stand for? Why not just be a Independent?

[odinloki1]

Democrats:

Bought off by Unions, minority interest groups, feminists, Hollywood, homosexuals and pro-choice lobbyists.

Republicans:

Bought off by Wall Street, big business, big oil, pro-life and the Christian right wing extremists.

Theres the differences in a nutshell.

People won't be an independent because there's no money in it and you can't keep up with the monetary machines of either of the two major parties.

Since political parties are coalitions of like minded individuals and groups who share an common overall political agenda, how does one go about accusing those individuals and groups of "buying" off a party, since they aren't an external entity but an integral component of the party?
