“This article provides a big clue as to why Weyrich endorsed Romney.”
Here is more on that from the NYTs March 2007, the Mormon church has also heavily funded Dobson’s umbrella group.
“The first of Mr. Romney’s recent wave of donations to conservative groups was $25,000 to the Heritage Foundation at the end of 2005. The foundation analysts worked with him on a health care plan and later praised it, as did some other conservative groups.
John Von Kannon, vice president of development for the Heritage Foundation, said the donation had no influence.
Mr. Romney followed a $25,000 contribution to the Federalist Society in 2005 with an additional $10,000 last year, the group’s officials said. Although the Federalist Society does not endorse candidates or policies, some of its top officials are highly influential voices among conservatives on the subject of judicial nominations.
Eugene B. Meyer, president of the society, said a supporter of the organization had sought a donation from Mr. Romney as part of a general Boston fund-raising drive. The group’s annual budget is over $7 million.
Mr. Romney gave $5,000 to help sponsor the anniversary dinner celebrating National Review’s Web site last October at a Washington steakhouse. Another group called Evangelicals for Mitt also gave $5,000. (David French, founder of Evangelicals for Mitt, said the dual donations were a coincidence.)”
Romney must be the first politican in history to donate money!
Is this the Dobson who can deny a man’s Christianity without even meeting him?
'Cause when you tie the wrong leader to the wrong org, it not only shows you up, but makes it appear like you're falsely judging somebody's motivation.
