Oh stop insulting my hyperbole with facts--if I wanted facts, I wouldn't
use hyperbole. 

However, you would agree, would you not, sir (sorry, was on jury duty
recently, and found that phrasing amusing) that Chuck Dodd, former senator,
did fairly blatently say that they had bought their politicians and
expected them stay bought?  Obviously, not phrased quite that bluntly.

While they probably won't be shot, they may find that they lose campaign
funds they were expecting and lose office to an even more corrupt
competitor.
