Pro-Santorum Super PAC skips N.H. ad buys

"Pride," an ad supporting GOP candidate Rick Santorum from the Red White and Blue Fund, a Super PAC.

/ Red White and Blue Fund

The insurgent campaign of Rick Santorum will be on its own in the Granite State. The Super PAC working to boost his candidacy - the Red White and Blue Fund - will not be spending any money to help Santorum in the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire presidential primary.

But the PAC is on the airwaves in South Carolina, where Republicans vote in two weeks.

The Red White and Blue Fund spent $525,000 on television ads in Iowa, according to expenditure disclosures to the Federal Election Commission, helping fuel Santorum's drive to a very close second place in the Iowa caucuses.

What part of organizations like the Super PAC's allow political offices to be bought do we not understand.?

Currently; our bought and paid for President, Congressmen and Senators are wholly and completely responsible for the trainwreck crises in the United States today.

Huge contributions by big businesses, lobbyists, unions, PAC groups, oil companies, drug companies etc. should be ILLEGAL.

How are we ever going to be able to elect ANYBODY who is honestly interested in solving the problems here in the US and serving the interests of the American people if this is allowed to continue.?

Congress is certainly not going to pass legislation barring these contributions, because they know they will be unable to line their pockets and keep promises to pass legislation that favors huge corporations, etc if they don't receive payback.

This legislation should be put on the ballots as a referendum, and let the people decide if they want to be screwed by more bought and paid for politicians.!!

Please remember our last bought and paid for president Mr. Bush and the bought and paid for republican congresses that went with him are mostly responsible for the current mess. I do however agree with your general premise. It will be interesting to see who has contributed to Mr. Santorum, other than his every republican cut taxes for the rich stance. I can only surmise it is because he isn't terribly bright and easily controllable. Though the money buys a lot of commercials we electorate are not required to listen to or believe them. Every single voter should make it their business to find out who is contributing to these super pacs when the data is published. Unfortunately in the general election we won't find out who contributed last until after the election. You can be assured of one thing, none of them have the good of the American people or the country as their first priority.
