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

March 16th, 2010 13 comments

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!!

Access Court Records for In-depth Information

January 14th, 2010 No comments

Thanks to the Internet, it’s more than possible for anyone who wants to get their hands on court records to do so. Whether they’re proceedings within the state a person resides in or from one a thousand miles a way, online tools make getting court proceedings records very simple.

There are even programs out there that can aid in the process of finding, requesting and obtaining court records from a number of different jurisdictions. These programs can help anyone with the right information get their hands on documents they need to make important decisions about hiring, credit or even dating.

Anyone who is looking into getting their hands on court records does need to know some documents might just not be open to public scrutiny and others will be more difficult to get online depending on the state involved.

In general, these types of court activity records are available through online services:

– Criminal records: Records for criminal proceedings are almost always available for public viewing once a case is closed. This can include everything from findings and sentencing reports to transcripts of the actual hearings themselves.

The only time these records will not be open is in the case of juveniles or for those who have had special proceedings. Also, in the case of rape proceedings, victims’ names might be withheld in documents released by the courts.

– Bankruptcy records: Whether these are for corporations or private residents, these records typically are open. The actual findings and creditors will be listed, but personal information such as Social Security numbers will generally not be available.

– Divorce proceedings: Here and again personal information, especially about minors, might not be fully open to the public, but findings generally will be.

– Civil proceedings: Almost without exception these records and their transcripts will be available for people to pull and see when the cases are closed by the courts. Whether it’s a wrongful death suit or a suit against a company, records can generally be had online.

– Grand jury proceedings: These records are very often closed and transcripts are not even available until such time as the court deems it acceptable to release information. The records of actual findings and rulings might be more readily accessible.

Getting court records online with the help of programs that are designed to speed up the inquiry process is more than doable. These records typically are considered public knowledge and are available for anyone to look at and digest.

Obtaining public records and court records will vary from state to state in the ease that they can be pulled. This is where these programs can come in handy by ensuring the proper requests are filed for documentation.

Legal proceedings records can be very valuable tools in helping people make major decisions about such things as hiring, dating and extending credit. The records that are attainable will, however, vary on the state and the disposition of the case. Thanks to the Internet the process of getting these records is much more easy to traverse.
