Readers will know that my opinion of Mitt Romney is pretty much as low as is possible. That being said, if we’re going to start attacking him for donating to his church, then I’ll defend him.
Attacking a candidate for their participation (or lack thereof) in religion is something that we absolutely should not do. There are more important issues in this election than how much Mitt Romney tithes.
What I got out of the report wasn’t that the amount mattered as much as that it would lay open more questions about his beliefs – something he won’t dare do because that would scare off his base, the far right conservative Christians. So, like everything else, mum’s the word.
