Billionaire Funds Santorum Run; Call Koch Brothers A "National Treasure"

.

By Steve D. For Daily Kos Dairies

.

I for one am delighted to have our elections decided by people with ungodly amounts of wealth. That way I don't have to worry about which candidates are successful and which are not. For example, now I know Rick Santorum, the man who once claimed homosexuality would lead to man on dog sex is a serious contender for the GOP nomination because the big money says he is.

.

A billionaire Wyoming investor has pledged to give up to a half-million dollars in matching money to an outside spending group that supports Rick Santorum for the GOP presidential nomination.

.

Foster Friess put up a good chunk of the $537,000 that the Santorum "super" PAC, the Red White and Blue Fund, spent on ads to help the candidate come in a close second to Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucuses earlier this month.

.

Now the 71-year-old Friess says he's sent a note to 5,000 "sportsmen" pledging to match whatever they donate to the super PAC, up to $500,000, which could be crucial to Santorum's chances of halting Romney's march to his party's presidential nomination. [...]

.

Friess made his fortune running mutual funds and is a keen stock picker. He's a veteran supporter of conservative causes, a born-again Christian and an ally of the much-richer Koch brothers, wealthy industrialists who bankroll many conservative causes.

.

Now to you or me, tossing $1 MILLION dollars at a politician whose career was recently deemed beyond salvageable by veteran politicos in his own party, might seem a tad Quixotic. But that is just because we don't understand the new dynamics of the pay to win the electoral game like Mr. Friess does. Besides, what is $1 Million of negative attack ads to someone whose net worth exceeds that of the average American by a factor of at least 10,000. Why to Mr. Friess, Wall Street speculator extraodinaire, its no more than .01% of his stash. Less than chump change.
