Parties don't necessarily ensure a candidate's ideology. Bill Richardson is a Democrat, but he tends to be of a conservative ideology. Does that mean the Democrat party is now the home of conservatism? As you pointed out in a previous post, most of em are the same. Point is you have to research and read a fellows works to get a feel for which direction he comes from and where he is headed.
Jeffrey Skoll of eBay fame funded Syriana via Participant Productions, not Mark Cuban. At least that's what I've read.
