Take That, Scientology!

Published April 16th, 2008

Americans have long been conditioned - resigned, even - to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s pretty much inevitable given our current electoral system. And people are more likely to vote against the greater evil instead of for the lesser evil. Because of this, political analysts often will not only look at favorability ratings, but also unfavorability ratings - in other words, they look at who will vote against you.

So what do you do when you are considered one of the most reviled of all Americans? I suppose you’d have to find someone even more unpalatable to run against. For me, there’s only one group of people in America I could beat. (I love this quote: “Three of the religious groups included in the survey are mostly viewed negatively, including Scientologists, atheists, and Muslims, with Scientologists having the lowest overall rating.” - I think I’m offended at being considered a “religious” group…)

Any Scientologists want to take me on in a political race? Me and a Muslim or a Mormon on the same ticket - unstoppable!*
