OK, you're running for president, and people are wondering if they're comfortable with a Mormon being president. How do you distract them from your affiliation with the Mormon church, which some members of your fervently Christian base find unsavory? Claim a novel by Scientologist L. Ron Hubbard as your favorite novel, of course!!!!

In fairness, Romney has completely disavowed the religion of Scientology, but this is still too funny to avoid commenting on it... :lol: :lol: :lol:
