It's it's somewhere bewteen some and quite a bit.
Almost every politician can be bought, many politicians do "favors" for companies/rich people (liberals and conservatives alike). There are few that aren't influenced by those factors at all.
Party on the other hand has a much bigger influence, so a few politicians being bought aren't the biggest thing to worry about.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
