Sen. Cornyn on mosque near 9/11 site: 'This is not about freedom of religion' - The Hill's Ballot Box

Sen. Cornyn on mosque near 9/11 site: 'This is not about freedom of religion' - The Hill's Ballot Box: "Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) echoed Reed’s belief that the economy would remain voters’ top concern.

“I don’t know if it’s good or bad politics,” Rendell said on CBS’s Face The Nation on Sunday. “But I can’t imagine that any American, given the challenges facing this country, is going to vote based on what [Obama] said about the mosque.

“The mosque is an unfortunate situation, but we do have a right to practice our religion freely wherever we choose. Rights are not subject to popular vote or majority vote,” he said."
