It just occurred to me.
There's a difference between political speech and political action.
When you express your political views, you're using your right to freedom of speech.
When you donate based on your political views, depending on how big that donation is, you're carrying out a political action. You're getting involved in politics!
I think the best resolution in this scenario is to consider a political donor, past a certain amount, no longer a private citizen, but a public figure, and bring his/her actions under media scrutiny, just like a politician.
Thoughts?
