No connection between PAC and candidates?

There isn't suppose to be communications between the candidates and the Super PACs that support them

but yet there was Foster Fries - Rick Santorum's Billionaire Backer standing on the stage right beside him.

Are the rules different for Rick or does he continue to skirt the rules. He's such a hypocrite

    Here's what politics is all about during the presidential elections in simple terms from my view.

    PAC gives candidate money>candidate becomes a flip-flop>candidate gets elected> candidate supports bills that help the PACs.

    So, whether its blue or red, the people who support the candidate, including Wall Street, the war industry, and the oil industry wins either way.

    Every candidate with a Super PAC is skirting the rules, since they are so absolutely ridiculous.

    If you haven't already, check out Stephen Colbert's ongoing formation and use of his Super PAC, as he and his lawyer point out its absurdities on a regular basis.
