Santorum and Erik Prince

[unionworks]

As most regulars here already know, without the help of Erik Prince, former Blackwater C.E.O., Santorum would probably never have become a Pa. Senator. In fact, Prince made a generous donation to the Green party in Pa. In an attempt to peel votes away from Bob Casey Jr. Santorums mindset is a carbon copy of Princes. It puzzles me why I have seen no mention of Santorums Blackwater connection in this campaign. Not even from Democrats.

What I find even more worrisome is a google news search for Erik Prince turns up nothing. It is like he has become invisible. Out of sight, but not out of mind, mine at least. Prince donated huge sums of money to the republicans before he left the country. I wonder how his residency in Abu Dhabi would affect his ability to funnel money to the Santorum campaign.I guess the only thing in the way would be rule of law. And he never let that stop him before.

Then you saw NEWSMEAT Erik Princes federal campaign, where it lists every cent Prince donated to the republican party - legal limit contributions to individual canidates and hundreds of thousands to republican national committees and soft money via other groups. Yes there is plenty on Prince in Google. But none in google news 2012.

5. Prince left the country

As his number two man and others in Bblacckwater were indicted by a grand jury on conspiracy, obstruction of justice and other charges. He is, as I see him, a thinly veiled neo nazi who was allowed to run rampant during the Bush years. Santorum was and probably still is his sockpuppet.

11. when Santorum was in Pa.

His office was directly across the street froma Catholic church I occasionally attended, right next to a "right to life" center.

13. Prince is reputedly extreme homophobic

This was a large part of the reason for his backing of Santorum
