In US bribing is more sophisticated. The bribes of various groups are pooled together and then targetted at various politicians. The only thing that a campaign contribution can legally do is help a politician get elected. Interest groups pool together to fund the politician they think is most likely to promote their interests after being elected. As an example, consider a famous pool, "Emily's list." The members pool their contributions to support female Democrat candidates who promise to keep abortion legal. emilyslist.org Regardless of how you feel about abortion, I don't see how anyone can consider this to be a bribe. The candidates don't change what they believe in simply to get the funding.
