Mitt Romney - Mormon Scientologist?

Here's what not to do when you're a Mormon running for president, trying to convince a skeptical public that you're religion isn't wacky...

Say that Battlefield Earth, written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, is one of your favorite novels.

I don't necessarily care if a presidential candidate likes crappy science fiction books written by a leader of a religion or a cult, depending on your perspective...

But the fact that he thought this was a good thing to say in the middle of a presidential campaign speaks volumes about his political judgment.

As a Democrat, I whole-heartedly support Romney's bid for the Republican nomination. He's the surest loser for the Repbulicans in the general election.
