When a politician says he supports "campaign finance reform", you can bet it means he wants to put limits on his opponents' campaign spending, but not on his own. Take, for example, California gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamecha:

Bustamante also faced questions about the propriety of his fund-raising methods after receiving a $500,000 donation from the Pechanga Band of Mission Indians.

The state's Fair Political Practices Commission contends he is violating the spirit of laws that limit donations to $21,200 per donor. But Bustamanate lawyers said it's legal to donate significantly higher amounts to a campaign committee that existed before the rules changed.

Bustamante has received $1.1 million in four separate donations in recent days to his 2002 lieutenant governor's campaign account. The money is then being shifted to a new committee raising money for his candidacy in the recall election.
