It's all so confusing.
Romney criticized then-candidate Obama for having gone to a church with a preacher that Romney didn't like. But don't criticize Romney based on the church he goes to, because that would be wrong. And Romney is now criticizing a pastor (who supports Rick Perry) because of the pastor's religious views (namely, his belief that Mormonism is a cult). So once again Mitt Romney is criticizing someone else for their religious views, while at the same time telling people not to criticize him for the same.
From HuffPost:
Mitt Romney called on Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) on Tuesday to "repudiate" the Texas pastor who called Mormonism a cult and said that evangelicals should support Perry because he is a "follower of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Romney's comments on the matter were his most expansive since Rev. Robert Jeffress first injected the issue into the Republican presidential primary on Friday. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"Gov. Perry selected an individual to introduce him who then used religion as a basis for which he said he would endorse Gov. Perry and a reason to not support me. Gov. Perry then said that introduction just hit it out of the park," Romney said.
