Why should Sarah Palin get a free ride from media and public scrutiny?

She’s got an abysmal voting record, particularly when it comes to the enviroment and alternative fuel debates. (She supports shooting wolves and bears from the air, an illegal act since the Airborne Hunting act of 1972 – Alaska is currently gunning down wolves in planes and helicopters, claiming ‘population control’ when there is no scientific basis to support it. She also threatened to sue the US congress to remove the Polar Bear’s new status as "threatened" because it infringed upon her plans for pipelines and drilling. The BUSH administration gave the Polar Bear that status!)

She supported the "bridge to nowhere" then withdrew her support- but accepted 25 million dollars partially to build a road that leads to the site of the bridge to nowhere.

She attends a church that recently featured a public speaker that said "God delivers judgment in the form of terrorists" claiming that Israelis deserve to be killed.

She claims to be against special interests and lobbyists and earmarks yet campaigned vigorously for a 6,000 person town to get 27 million in earmarks. My own town has 4X this many people and some wicked vicious potholes that could easily be plugged with oh, 10 million, BTW.

She decries ALL abortions. Even those in the cases of rape, possible death to the mother, and pregnancy resulting from incest. So if you’re a 12 year old who was raped by your father and might die, oh well!

Sarah Palin entered politics as her profession. Why does she now think that all the aspects of her political person should be off limits?

If she’s going to be the VP to a candidate that very well might die in office due to his age and questionable health, I as a voter, feel like I have the right to damn well know EVERYTHING I can about her before she is in control of what happens in my child’s life.

Your thoughts?
EDIT: The media has been focusing on the pregnant daughter. I’ve heard stories that Palin’s infant is actually her grandchild. BUT- no one is grilling her about why she didn’t chastise her kid for not practicing abstinance- or asking her views on birth control for teens. They just keep saying "her family is off limits" which of course just keeps creating more wild rumors…
EDIT: SEXIST. HA! Didn’t work for Hillary, did it? What’s good for the goose should be good for another goose.
Ice T: Wanna see a video of an Alaska Fish and Game agent killing a wolf from a plane? Want Sarah Palin’s voting record- I’ll get you the link. Want the script of her bit ching to remove the Polar Bear? Get you that. Want clips of her saying she "hasn’t paid attention" to Iraq?

All those clips are lies? God damn, that’s a big padded box you live in.
Margaret: Obama hasn’t been in the Senate for 8 years. Also, Jeremiah Wright’s worst statement didn’t come close to: "The Jews are reaping God’s wrath in the form of Terrorists."
And for the record, I have asked plenty of questions about Obama and was never 100% in his court anyway. I used to call McCain "the only Republican I’d consider voting for" and was proud of him when he, along with 6 other Repubs voted against Bush/Cheney to open ANWAR to drilling.

Palin wants to drill ANWAR tomorrow. How long before McCain agrees? Drilling is not, will not, will never be the answer. Oil is over. McCain and Palin are misleading the public into thinking there is independence in oil so that they can continue to support oil companies that give them huge donations.

Obama has at least sketched out a plan to go against oil and to put USA on the cutting edge of alternative fuels.

Unless you’d like to CONTINUE paying the Japanese for everything new and advanced and LOGICAL…
EDIT AGAIN: Oh, that bit I just said about being proud of McCain and considering voting for him? That was before he crawled up to George Bush and licked his boots like a bad dog looking for a biscuit.

The real "Maverick" McCain, the real fighter, the real visionary, is gone. The Bush/Cheney Machine ground him up and spit him out like so much byproduct. Now he is hazardous waste.
EDIT: NO Chetco, I don’t. And I’ll support my statements with voting records and video statements, if you like

She shouldn’t get a free ride.She’s some kind of ultra – conservative nutcase if you ask me,after seeing footage from her church.She is anti – Israel,anti- everything,and she’s a danger to the environment and the animals that live in it.And you’re right about John McCain.I really didn’t mind him before,but now it’s like SHE’S the one running for president and he is just following her.It really scares me that if he dies,we are stuck with her!! And she doesn’t like cats,either! Never trust anyone who doesn’t like cats!!

    Because she is a women and due to that we can’t disrespect. OR so they say. I think if you are going to put a women on the ticket then she should be treated like a person not like some defenseless little girl.

    The McCain camp did not appropriately vet her. McCain is sending a clear message that she is a liability and a risk to his campaign since she cannot be properly scrutinized by the public.

    I see no other clear explanation on why McCain won’t allow public interviews.

    She shouldn’t be. But a lot of her supporters are crying ‘foul’ because anything you say about her turns out to be ‘sexist’,

    You are right now all they need to do is tear into Obama about his short comings (church +friends+voting records) and his political history in Chicago and then tear into Biden for his lobbyist under investigation son and brother in-law!

    Dont know where you have been but every ignorant Dem has been slapping her for having a baby with Downs Syndrome and a pregnant daughter. You dont see Republicans talking about Obamas kids. He has gotten a free ride this whole time. Where is the truth about his church, voting record etc.

    Thank you for the list of what someone can find out in ONE week,

    NOW, why has the media not bothered to do any reporting like this on Obama in almost TWO YEARS?????

    Nothing.

    They’ve told us that everything is either unimportant or off-limits.
    Obama has said that questions about his past are "distractions."
    The media said that his church was not important to voters – but now everything about Palin’s church is very important. Huh????
    All of Palin’s views on abortion are relevant but NOT Obama’s?????
    How about Obama’s voting record for eight years in the Illinois Senate?? Which of his political contributors did he help out????
    How about Rezko?? We haven’t gotten the story on that big abandoned building that Obama set him up with in Chicago with Federal funds, have we????

    You know ALL THIS about Palin? In ONE week?
    And you aren’t asking ANY QUESTIONS about Obama?????

    What’s going on here?????

    You are a hypocrit or a twit. Obama has not had nearly the scrutiny and I bet you don’t mind that.

    How come up until recently candidates kids have been off limits? I remember once during one of Bill Clinton’s campaigns some random jerk rose questions about Chelsea and everyone on both side chastised this person.

    Just about all of the things you wrote about have been proven to be more liberal lies and misinformation.

    ST. PAUL, Minn. | Sarah Palin displays an Israeli flag in her governor’s office in Juneau, even though she has never been to the country, and attends Protestant evangelical churches that consider the preservation of the state of Israel a biblical imperative.

    Her faith makes her a favorite with the staunchly pro-Israel neoconservative elements in the Republican Party.

    But other Republicans may be concerned that a John McCain-Sarah Palin administration will disregard the caution of former President George H.W. Bush and some of his top advisers and continue the tilt toward Israel.

    Most Republicans and conservatives outside Alaska know little about Mrs. Palin’s foreign policy views – on Israel or anything else.

    But Tucker Eskew, who holds the title of counselor to Mrs. Palin in the McCain-Palin campaign, left no doubt where she stands.

    "She would describe herself as a strong supporter of Israel’s, with an understanding of Israel’s fear of an Iran in possession of nuclear weapons," Mr. Eskew told The Washington Times.
