No, PACs or think tanks or whoever buys a lot of the books then gives them away.
This bookstore thing you're seeing is probably the publisher paying for marketing. Stocking and shelf placement guarantees, etc. Essentially they pay to have the books displayed in major bookstores. It's not exclusive to the right, but it's more obvious.
