A Mexican burrito joint in Denver that turned the Romney campaign down was unhappy to find its in-box stuffed with hate mail. Romney wanted to make a stump speech about tolerance at Rosa Linda’s Mexican Cafe, but the restaurant’s owners, who are Mormon, didn’t want to mix religion or politics with rellenos, Westword reported.
