“By your extended logic — and many other FREEPERs on this thread — then we shouldn’t care which businesses were funding the KKK during the 1924 Democratic National Convention known as the Klanbake. (You can see Wikipedia for details on this: 1924 Democratic National Convention).”
Is Mitt Romney, the individual, a business?
He isn’t, is he? He’s a private citizen, and he gave to a mainstream religious organization.
As such, I’m not sure you have a point left to argue.
Businesses can choose to make donations to charitable organizations, and they do so at their peril, because it material effects their balance sheet under the heading ‘Goodwill’.
Romney gave money to the Mormon church pursuant to fulfilling a promise he made to that church. This is no different than any giving pledge you make to any other church you may attend.
You may not agree with the Mormon church, very much like many disagree with the Catholic Church, the ELCA, the Quakers, or any other religious organization.
It’s not fodder for reasonable disqualification any more than it was for Kennedy at the time.
Either we have religious freedom in the US, or we don’t, which is why everyone is asking what your point is, savvy?
Your statement: Either we have religious freedom in the US, or we don’t,
My response: you made a bogus charge. Show one single post where a poster said Romney does not have the right to beleive what he wants.
