Would you if you’d gone through HALF of what she has?

You do what you're supposed to do. She could win the White House away from Hillary. How is it possible to understate the importance of that?

Besides, the real threat was bankruptcy through Alaska's ridiculous loophole that allows political parties to drive the Governor out through frivolous lawsuits. Once that was handled, what extra stress did she have that any other popular conservative candidate won't have, or doesn't have?

Anyway, it's moot. For whatever reasons, she won't run. I just hope she doesn't lead everyone on this time through some damn "listening tour," and instead gets behind a candidate with real potential from the beginning. If she won't lead, she can at least not distract the focus again.

2nd ... I look at this in this manner ....
The media is one of the riders of the Apocalypse
moslems are one of the riders of the Apocalypse
obama is one of the riders of the Apocalypse
hillary is the final, of the four, riders of the Apocalypse.

All are symptoms of what is to come.

Why did the press ignore the firebombing of Sarah Palin’s church?

Accelerant poured around Palin’s church - Arson: entrances and exits were targeted; the senior pastor says he’s not aware of any threats.

Shrum is a bottom feeding apparatchik. This screed is a job application to Hillary’s 2016 campaign

It’s incredible D’s would even consider nominating her. Don’t they have anybody better than that

Any more incredible than nominating obama?

Consider this: Hillary is strongly tied to both.

I had to check to see if this article was eight years old.

Hopefully, he can write it again in eight years.

I have never read L. Ron Hubbard and I never will. He is the founder of Scientology. I have heard it said that he got into the scientology scam because he was failing as a writer.

Someone may just put that old “hag in the bag” and drop her in the river like they used to do with unwanted cats. (I am not advocating violence here, just observing).

“I have never read L. Ron Hubbard and I never will. He is the founder of Scientology. I have heard it said that he got into the scientology scam because he was failing as a writer.”

He was writing sci fi for a long time before he established his “religion,” which I heard he did on a bet.

“He was writing sci fi for a long time before he established his “religion,” which I heard he did on a bet.”

From Hubbard bio:

Hubbard has been quoted as telling a science fiction convention in 1948: “Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.”

I had read Hubbard wrote some bad science fiction but wasn't able to make enough money to support himself. In addition to his bad writing he needed scams that cheated people out of their money and he was also arrested for petty theft.

Other science fiction writers knew Hubbard was a liar, a thief and a scam artist.

De Camp wrote to Asimov, “Don't say you haven't been warned. Bob [Robert Heinlein] thinks Ron went to pieces morally as a result of the war. I think that's fertilizer, that he always was that way, but when he wanted to conciliate or get something from somebody he could put on a good charm act. What the war did was to wear him down to where he no longer bothers with the act.”

Scientology made Hubbard rich. He then lived the last years of his life alone in paranoid delusion trusting no one and he died of mysterious circumstances probably murdered by David Miscavige or some of his other assistants.
