“There should be more of that.  I find that when I’ve done certain projects, like I put up a little video, and I’ve found four other people putting up the same message. Well, we could have pooled our resources and done a much better, more professional than our somewhat amateurish, video. I wish that would happen more, but it doesn’t and it should.”
~Foster Friess 

Do you see what’s happening here?  Foster Friess is a billionaire Wyoming investor who is already in the top 10 of known SuperPAC donors (source).  He practically single handedly bankrolled Rick Santorum’s campaign and with having already invested millions himself – he thinks billionaires should “poll our resources” for more effective attack ads.  Like a union for billionaires … but they’re really already doing that by giving hundreds of millions to Karl Rove’s professional propaganda machine.

All of that money will be targeted to make you think up is down and black is white.  They’re trying to buy the election.  Even if you hate President Obama … how can you not see what these plutocrats are trying to do here?  This should scare you.

Talking Points Memo has the story HERE:

Friess told TPM that far from coordinating moves with other GOP mega-donors like Sheldon Adelson and Bob Perry, who had backed rival primary candidates, the men have little contact.

But Friess said he was more focused on bringing new players into the game than in reaching out to current donors.

“I’ve reached out to a number of potential donors who weren’t involved so much before to help Gov. Romney with his Restore Our Future PAC and try to encourage some of the same things for Gov. Romney as I did for Rick Santorum,” he said.

Friess said he would prefer a system in which donors could give unlimited, publicly disclosed amounts directly to candidates and parties rather than be forced to go through outside groups. But he told TPM that he still supported allowing wealthy backers to hide their donations behind non-profits and trade associations, like the Karl Rove-connected Crossroads GPS.
