See the guy over Santorums right shoulder. That's Billionaire Foster Friess who runs his Super PAC (Red,White&Blue).
Isn't that just cozy. Talk about being kept on a short leash. There's no hiding this sugar daddy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1261664.html Don''t you just all love these Super PAC's? Last edited by Bronco Yoda; 02-08-2012 at 02:56 AM.. |

Perhaps the most jarring detail from his tenure in office is the unorthodox $500,000 mortgage that Santorum and his wife secured on the home in rural Virginia they had purchased for $643,361. According to a series of reports in the Philadelphia Daily News, the mortgage came from Philadelphia Trust Company, a fledgling private bank catering to "affluent investors and institutions" whose officers had contributed $24,000 to Santorum's political action committees and re-election campaign. In advertising, the lender said it only offered its preferred rates to well-heeled borrowers who also used their investment services. But Santorum's public disclosure forms showed he did not have the required minimum $250,000 in liquid assets and was not an investor with Philadelphia Trust. His ability to secure the five-year loan led [Melanie] Sloan to file a complaint under a Senate ethics rule that specifically prohibits members from accepting a loan on terms not available to members of the general public. At the time, a Santorum spokeswoman told the Daily News that the mortgage terms were set at "market rates," but did not provide further comment. |

Just shows what a complete joke the Super PAC "rules" are. Of course, Colbert already proved that, didn't he?
