I have a question too. Do you believe corporations should have the same rights as an individual person?

     Well, I'd say that corporations should "have" whatever rights can be inferred as an extension of their owner's rights. To elaborate, strictly speaking they themselves would have no rights, though certain rights of their owner & of their agents would effectively, if not technically, extend to being rights of the corporation.

Does that include to right for a corporation to donate to run political ads? What about bribing politicians through a "campaign donation"? Campaign donations in general?

     I suppose you are referring to bundling, in that case. a CEO would be within his rights to make a donation & request that all employees do the same, though giving them incentives for doing so or forcing them to do so would be immoral.

Funny, I typically don't think of CEOs as "moral".

That's why you aren't a libertarian. (Or a Republican)
