Romney Flip-Flops on His Favorite Book
Posted by Mike Gehrke on May 2, 2007 at 04:09 PM
Already under scrutiny for shifting positions on key issues and his Mormon faith, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has made a bizarre new flip flop--saying on national TV his favorite novel is Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's "Battlefield Earth."
The former Massachusetts governor told Fox News his favorite book was the Bible but his favorite novel was the science fiction tome "Battlefield Earth."
The Mark Twain novel "Huckleberry Finn" tops the book list on Romney’s MySpace page. "Battlefield Earth" isn't on the list.

It's "Battlefield Earth". L. Ron Hubbard, in addition to inventing a religion for profit, was a terrible science fiction author.
He also believed that Calculus was a lie.

Thank you, CollegeProgessive! I'll make the correction.

Religion for profit? Now that sounds like the Republican Party base. This sould be comforting to the Falwells and Robertsons.

Watch out for what you say about Mitt Romney. You are about to lose many loyal Democrats if you start messing with the Mormon Church. You need strong advice in this area. That is obvious to someone who is a member of the Mormon Church.

I hope we aren't planning to accuse Romney of flip-flopping based on this -- we have much stronger and more relevant stuff on him.

Hey Spockster,
WHO is going to lose "many loyal Democrats"?
The party?
For saying WHAT about Mitt, exactly?
Also, being a member of the Mormon church, you must know that there aren't very many Mormon Dems... and there are even fewer Mormon Dems that actually support Mitt!
So, I really don't see where you're coming from with that statement.
Heck, I probably have a better understanding of Mitt and his "Mormanism" than you do, considering I live in Massachusetts.
Lastly, I could give a flying squirrel which book is Mitt's favorite. This has no real bearing on his political views. And who, really, could name one book that is their ultimate favorite forever? I certainly couldn't... and to tell you the truth, I would think twice about voting for someone who could.

The problem isn't that he can't keep things straight, the problem is believing that L. Ron wasn't a basically insane hack con-artist. Oh wait, that was Joseph Smith. Maybe Mitt could keep track of his opinions by writing lists on his temple u-trou with a laundry marker.

Oh, come on, is this the best you can do? Who cares about a favorite book? Or, the fact that he may have more than one 'favorite'....

Hey Mitt, why don't you jump on your Mormon bike, peddle home and jack off. And take your little friend with you. You're irrelevant.
