...contributions don't go directly to a candidate--that would be bribery--but to a candidate's many puppet organizations. Thus Archer Daniels Midland, one of Dole's largest lifetime donors, gave $900,000 to the Republican National Committee between 1991 and 1994, plus $200,000 to Dole's PAC, Campaign America, and his think tank, the Better America Foundation...

...SUCK-UP HERE: First-term House Republican Linda Smith bucked her leaders by pushing in vain for radical campaign-finance reform that would have banned pac money and out-of-state contributions. As she said, "You can't perform surgery in a dirty operating room and with a team that hasn't scrubbed." LOW POINTS THE SUCKER AWARD: Republican presidential hopefuls rushed to genuflect at the Dallas conclave summoned by Ross Perot. Six weeks later, Perot announced the formation of an independent party...
