Corporations support the Republicans economic agenda and the Democrats social agenda. They are against Republican social agenda and Democratic economic agenda. So they bought both parties (some Dems excluded of course). If supporters of the Religious Right and the Working Left united and agreed to leave social issues to the states, no amount of corporate money could defeat their candidate.
It isn't impossible and it would be for the greater good of the country in the long run. In the short run, crazies would have their way in a few southern states and Idaho but it wouldn't take many years for even these places to join the rest of us. The crazies have power but are dying off and the younger folks just don't care about smiting folks quite as much.
