Defining Political Parties

Thom Hartmann said at one point that he thinks more and more folks are defining politicians, and hence political parties, by a new criteria: Does the politician in question favor humans or corporations?

Democrats don't look so good in that light:

Democratic legislators have introduced a bill that will tie university financial aid funding to universities imposing stiff penalties for file-sharing, and to universities subsidizing student subscriptions to failed DRM-based systems like Napster and Ruckus. This is about as ugly as pork-barrel politics can get: politicians are so in debt to four of five ailing giants from the entertainment industry that they're prepared to deny low-income children access to a college education if universities don't punish kids for listening to music and piss away money on a useless service that no one wants to use.

Yeah.
