Her husband was a big Dem but now a Palin supporter. Both are Scientologists so I dismiss them completely as naive cultists. Nobody, repeat nobody, in their right mind can support Scientology.
I've been reading about John Coale in the FR archives, and it's just amazing how many freepers are standing up for Sarah's RIGHT to have close friends who are Scientologists. Just amazing.
The articles themselves are pretty lame & nonconsequential, but the responses, wow, can be very telling.
Greta's hubbie, John Coale has been a major behind-the-scenes Democrat operative for decades.

They are Scientologists; I agree.
Nevertheless, I am unwilling to dismiss people without more information.
Are they devout Scientologists? I don’t know. While I am Catholic, I sure as heck know people “more” and “less” Catholic than I am, if you know what I mean. Same holds true for Baptists, Lutherans, etc.
Our “tent” is going to have to include people that, on the face of it, we don’t necessarily find a kinship in every way. I can live with that notion.
All I ask of potential occupants of our “tent” is this:
Fidelity to our beautiful Constitution
Goodwill toward one another.
And a willingness to fight to the death for the two things above.
I can live with anything that follows, provided those things.
Anything beyond that is gravy, far as I’m concerned.
