What we can learn from India

The world's biggest democracy is corrupt, there's no doubt about it, but the description of their problems is shockingly similar to our own situation:
"India's public campaign-finance laws are not enforced, and candidates are regularly backed by donors and corporations that expect favors in return."
Our public campaign finance laws are not enforced either.  Case in point: McCain violated his own campaign finance laws.

Our any of our politicians backed by large donors?  Who do you think helped elect George W. Bush?

India is corrupt. I've heard it before.

By the way, even though things are being said about McCain, I was wondering where Obama's halo is since he's perfect.
