there?

Just curious.

That's why the rush. They can't unseal them without a court order that wouldn't ever come unless there was a murder or omething. The fact that he's rushing to have them sealed now, after the Enquirer mentions his affair with Palin is proof of her involvement. Go family values girl.

or maybe the Enquirer will make her an offer she can't refuse.

... but just because someone is mentioned as having had an affair doesn't make it true.

I have a very dear friend who's ex-wife claimed he was having an affair with me. She tried to use that to claim more child support. We pointed out that we live in different states and had met once, and only once, and at that time nothing happened but dinner.
It still had to go into the divorce paperwork that she'd accused him of an affair with me.

I'm not defending anyone's actions or inactions.

:popcorn:

k?

:popcorn:

Will someone in the court accidentally release them?

some big bucks, and are probably paying legal fees for the filing. Why else would this guy wait until now to want his records sealed? Cui bono?

Not that they'd ever resort to that sort of thing. :hide:

Crossing Palin at this point would make his life very difficult.

I googled him yesterday. Lots of links including the name Palin, but doesn't seem to be Scott Richter the SPAM king.

Court documents are normally public. That's the first place anyone would look if they wanted to know about the Palins' business and personal dealings.

was denied. This could be just what we need to get rid of that see-you-next-Tuesday.

OOps.

:rofl:

Where she'd have to take questions? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Haven't you heard? Caribou Barbie isn't doing press conferences. From now until the election, she's appearing only at staged events im front of handpicked 'puke stooges.

from the same fucking speech that she gave Wednesday night.

Not that much digging has to be done at this rate. It seems something new comes out about her faster than people here can write it.

Public notifications of divorce and public notification of non-accountability for debts and obligations created by an estranged spouse are all the community really needs to move forward.

I am sure that we all would love to riffle through the transcripts and affidavits in the hope to find something negative about Palin. But in the process we are going to tear up another person's life.

Sorry but Palin's co-respondent to adultery if there is one, really isn't our enemy and shouldn't be caused collateral damage.

We want to win this fucking thing...haven't you seen the way the Republican's operate...that gutter stuff wins..way too many of our electorate operate on stupid and go for that shit...so we need to peddle it just as well in order to stay in the race...if there is collateral damage so be it and don't tell me I don't know what it is like...1990 I ran for US Congress in a very high profile race as liberal Democrat, got 41% of the vote my first time out.

philosophy about keeping the focus on the candidates.

Gutter stuff may win but to use it you have to get down in the gutter and get dirty yourself. I'd rather not see Obama standing on the steps of the Capitol in a shit-stained suite.

But that's my opinion.

BTW Did you win your race in 1990?

I wonder if the reason for the divorce was infidelity.

I also wonder if a certain Alaska Governor's name might be revealed in those papers as the source of the infidelity.

:popcorn:

But the Obama campaign and dems don't need that to win. The list of things that conspire against the adequacy of Sarah Palin to be Vice President of the United States is long. And it seems to get longer everyday. Leave the other families out of it. Sarah Palin has done them enough harm, without Dems compounding it.

The National Enquirer will do all the digging it can. That's how they sell papers. We're just watching and waiting.

:popcorn:

is gonna win some terrific awards.

...to God's ear.

The M$M have a way of editing out his bad parts.

...just like the list of inadequacies the sitting dope has. Alot of good that did us. I agree. Fight dirty and expose this cockroach.

Maybe she would like to tell her story to the world. Or if he had kids maybe they would like their 15 minutes of fame. This is going to be good. More Popcorn Please :popcorn:

their stories. That is up to them and really apart from the Obama campaign.

There are many magazines that would pay huge dollars for a story that had even a hint of a cutting edge in it. And there are millions of Americans who would buy those issues of the magazines just to read their stories.

I'm not arguing that people don't have interests in the juicy details of Palin's life. I am arguing that those interests can harm people who aren't the candidates. In many states family court records are sealed upon completion of the family courts disposition of the cases. They aren't available to the curiou$ eye$ of magazines trying to $ell issues.

This administration has so much damage to our country's security, I don't give a damn if someone's toes get stepped on in order to shed light on their morally outrageous lives while they condemn those very lifestyles.

They chose to lie with dogs, they deserve to get up with fleas.

The Repigs wouldn't give a damn about who they hurt. It's time for the Dems to take back this country and if making somebody cry is what it takes, then so be it.

as she tried to get him fired for engaging in a custody battle for his children.

That betrays a sense of anger needing satisfaction and an anger with no concern for how that wrath is fed.

Unfortunately, that is also pretty obviously a part of human nature that is blind to political affiliation.

That is what the Republicans hounded the Clintons over for eight years and now when something which demonstrates Character is presented you want to say it isn't relevent. Well it is extremely relevent if true...

not the characters of those unfortunate to have existed for some brief time within Sarah Palin's personal world.

We aren't talking about her association with a lobbiest (although we probably SHOULD be looking at those) we are talking about her flirtings (and possibly more) with her husband's former business partner. How much punishment does that former business partner deserve for that? More than a divorce? Just because it was Sarah Palin he alledgedly was involved with? Should he be branded with a big scarlet A???

Democrats are supposed to be thoughtful if not tolerant and compassionate. Do we throw that away just because we are in a feeding frenzy in the target rich waters that surround Sarah Palin?

...until some Dominionist jagoff comes along and wants to mess with mine and my fellow citizens' personal lives. That is when said Dominionist jagoff's private peccadilloes become everyone's business. People who live in glass cathedrals...

to get messed with too? I really think not.

There is no evidence that the business partner of Todd Palin gave sermons in a glass cathedral. Before this week few, perhaps no one, outside of Alaska knew or cared that the guy existed. I think it is a shame if the court records and personal histories of anyone and everyone who has ever been associated with a candidate for public office must be available to the masses for no other than satisfaction of purulent interests.

If the old business partner or his ex want to make their personal history public that is their choice. I am sure that there are tabloids who would gladly pay for it.

The Obama campaign really needn't plow those fields. The evidence against Palin's credibility is virtually hanging off the trees and littering the grass as if it fell as manna from heavan.

a reason to stay home on election day. Clearly, they don't care about the dishonesty, hypocrisy, and abuse of power. A good sex scandal hits them where they live.

No, Obama doesn't have to dirty his hands. This is something the press should expose. If it's the National Enquirer, I don't care; as long as she doesn't get to keep playing Sweet Polly Purebred.

will bring her down.

We haven't yet had the pleasure of watching her try to answer questions extemporaneously. She is gonna get slaughtered on the alter of her ignorance.

The Repugs certainly went to town with the Clinton-Lewinsky and John Edwards scandals. I know this is a bad-ass attitude, but I believe that to a certain extent, turn-about is fair play. And I admit that I care more about Republican sex scandals than Democrat sex scandals, because the Republicans are always trying to tell everyone else not to fool around.

This is going to be a tight race. All we want is for the truth to come out. And Palin is the one who keeps talking like the holier than thou right wing bitch that she is. God wants this. God wants that. Well we have a right to know if she is another lying hypocritical neocon. She could wind up with her bloody, filthy finger on the button one of these days. She is all about death and destruction. Killing animals. Killing people in wars. Killing the earth with global warming. The only thing she wants to live is unborn globs of cells. However, if they ever are born, the hell with them. They are on their own. I really hate her.

btw, welcome aboard offog! :hi:

I was projected to get 6% of the vote, I got 41% instead. The issue was that our Congressman a DINO was voting for funding for the School of America's in Ft. Benning. The same school that was training assassins to murder their own people in Central American countries. After the 6 Jesuits got killed in 1989 we invited him to come to a memorial in honor of the Jesuits. At that memorial he had said tough luck to the Jesuits and that he would still vote for funding. Since I had just chaired a winning city initiative (64%) advisory ballot asking for a reduction of military spending to be put into deficit reduction and social service spending (hard to win something like in a military town) I was the one asked to run against him. While I did not beat him, I came the closest to him in 32 years AND a few weeks after the election he changed his position on the SOA funding! Also in that election I wound up suing the city I lived in (200,000) population of the constitutionality of banning political yard signs during an election year. I won that case in the State Supreme Court 9-0. Sometimes you just have to get dirty to win...once in office then you can change the landscape and steer the tone of elections (by statute etc) for the better.

I salute your accomplishment in both. You should be duly proud.

of a person

This is not a "private" person, but one who choose to run as the second most important person in our country

Also, and more important, the mccain camp has said the adultery is a false charge. If it isn't, that means they were lying. If that is the case this IS an issue

If one of them aspires to office someday?

Palin is running for the Vice Presidency. This man is not.

in nowhere Alaska? Do you suppose he expected he'd risk national humiliation for something millions of Democrats and probably thousands of DU'ers have done?

I suppose it could be one of those nasty unexpected vengeful blowbacks from Hell by an angry God, but then because I believe in human free-will I'd let God be culpable for that punishment and not a group of puritanical holdovers with a political agenda.

The truth will set you free. If it was in the divorce proceedings then it is in the public record. Just remember to be careful who you sleep with, it could come out. So be true to yourself and you will never have to worry.

They are about A DIFFERENT FAMILY. The family of her husband's business associate. Democrats are not running against that family. There is no reason to drag those individuals through the gauntlet of press humiliation.

If the guy or his ex-wife want to step forward and tell a story that's their business. But I don't think Democrats need that. Moreover, I think it is pretty obviously inconsistent with Obama's interest on leaving family out of this. Obama is a lawyer. Generally speaking, family-law practicioners who work in an area where "guilty" is pretty damned fuzzy appreciate the doctrine of minimal damage. In this election there is basically no need to cause broader damage than required subvert Palin's aspirations for the vice presidency.

Sarah Palin appears to be a manachaeistic authoritarian religious ideologue and hypocrit. That can be demonstrated WITHOUT creating collateral damage to people outside the Palin family who made the mistake of being associated with Sarah Palin. Especially it can be done without hurting people for the sake of trying to establish that Palin is a hypocritical manachaeistic authoritarian religious ideologue. The list of evidence needed to establish that just gets longer and longer. We don't and won't need to use it all.

if you invoke the rule than anytime McCain's lips move he is lying you know the answer without anymore evidence.

My point is this. Getting the evidence on this one potential lie (among the orchard full of fruit rich mendacity trees) is gonna cause pain to someone who isn't a candidate, isn't a celebrity. Clearly from the attempt to seal the court record the person doesn't want his personal affairs revealled to the world.

We can, and I think should, leave this detritus of a non-target's life for the worms to peacefully devour. We can make plenty of cider from the fruit Palin's public life has blessed us with.

Did you work on the prosecution of OJ Simpson?

this has nothing to do with a criminal prosecution for murder. Moreover I don't have any reason to believe that Marcia Clark held back any admissible evidence.

What I am suggesting is something like this...former lovers of O.J.Simpson didn't need their divorce records examined in an attempt to build a case against O.J. Simpson for the murder of his wife.

part. How on earth did he fail to vet something like this? This is just as bad as the Eagleton matter.

This had really better not be true. Because if it turns out that her husband had a vasectomy, someone is going to know about it and talk and if her baby that she has been showing all over TV is the result of an adulterous affair and McCain did not vet it----oh man! McCain is going to look like the world's biggest dufus!

I don't really give a shit about the sex lives of the people involved. It is the half assed way that they went about picking her. I am convinced that lobbyists for TransCanada tricked McCain into picking her without vetting her and he went with his gut feeling, because he is too dumb to know that is not how presidents do things.

and certainly not with more and more public penalties for the same breach.

All of us in our righteousness about lawbreakers/sinners deserving what they get need to ask ourselves how we would want to be treated, because someday we very well may be subject to that. What goes around has a tendency to come around.

The entire last week speaks loudly about McCain's poor judgement. It may also speak to his impulsiveness and vengeful nature when HE can't get his way with the handler$ to whom even he must bow. Sarah Palin quite obviously was not adequately vetted.

turn a fucking searchlight on these hypocrites.

but you knew that.

Yes, I feel bad for him, but if you don't have Palin's family values, but you have sex with her anyway-- you've put yourself in danger. Especially when she's a little bit of a loose cannon.

the business partner's wife should already know. I assume they are divorced already.

which represents an additional, and I would argue unusal (and thereby unjustifiable) punishment. True that punishment will come from outside the legal system and the appeal to seal the record by the former business partner is prima facia evidence of an attempt to avoid said additional humiliation.

If you can show me that he was bribed to make that attempt then we've got an entirely different animal on our hands. But there isn't even a rumor of such a thing at this point.

it's fair game. It becomes a fair argument about how the "family values" philosophy actually works in the real world, among the people who are most committed to it.

About collateral damage: I don't like it, but if you involve yourself with bad people, bad things might happen to you. Sarah Palin, no matter what her expressed values are, is not a good person.

Just ask Bullwinkle. . .

They went to work and Newt Gingrich took over the organization in the 1980s. You see, Gingrich wasn't satisfied with the election of Ronald Reagan. He wanted to see conservatives in control at the local, state AND national levels - even if it took a generation. Under Gingrich's leadership, GOPAC stepped up its candidate recruitment efforts, sought out "movement conservatives" and taught them how to run campaigns and talk about issues in a way that galvanized the far right base while not completely alienating moderate voters.

It worked. During the next 20 years, they took over the majority of state legislatures and governors. They singlehandedly led the "Republican Revolution" that took over Congress in 1994. They elected George W. Bush.

And, yesterday, one of their own accepted the Republican nomination for vice president of the United States.

For more insight of this read: McCain's Convention Created New Republican Party, Davis Says

Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- The Republican Party has separated itself from President George W. Bush with a convention that ``saw the pages turn'' from the incumbent, who won't be asked to campaign with John McCain, the nominee's campaign manager said.

Rick Davis, speaking on Bloomberg Television's ``Political Capital With Al Hunt,'' said the four-day gathering in St. Paul, Minnesota, let the party shift its focus from the current president to its nominee.

``One of the things this Republican convention did is create a whole new Republican Party, separate from George Bush's Republican Party, which reigned supreme in the land of Republicanism for many years,'' Davis said. ``We saw the pages turn.''

Some of the biggest cheers during the convention, which ended last night, were for McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who in her acceptance speech accused Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama of lacking experience.

Before her selection, Palin's background was checked, or vetted, as much as any other potential nominee, and media accounts suggesting otherwise were wrong, Davis said. He said the examination of the vetting process stemmed in part from the fact that few people anticipated McCain would pick Palin.

This is going to be fun.

been through that stuff since they broke the story days ago? I'm thinking they would have already obtained copies of it. horse.....barn door? :shrug:

The Enquirer -- they are the professionals at this. They know how to dig up this type of stuff. I'd be surprised if they didn't already have a copy of those court papers. I don't know if there is some legal way a court could make it illegal to use the documents -- maybe some kind of a contempt of court provision. But even that wouldn't stop the Enquirer. If they every had to protect themselves in a libel case, they would be plead that the divorce papers were necessary for their defense. This makes it pretty clear that they have the goods on her.

This is 10 years ago. In a normal situation, most people wouldn't care very much about this. But this is a woman who was selected precisely because she is willing to be a tool of the religious right to help them bring the hand of the government upon the rest of us in matters of "morality". So she certainly invites this kind of scrutiny.

She was named on Friday. Saturday, Sunday and Monday the courthouse was closed. The Enquirer was on the stands Wednesday. Not enough time for them to "vet" the story before going to press, unless they pulled a McCain and skipped the vetting.

And to be practical, like with John Edwards, they want to sell papers and they aren't going to show all their cards in one issue. Remember everyone here who said they wouldn't believe the Edwards story without the pictures. What was it, issue three before they printed the pictures and it looks like Edwards only had one story. With Palin, the way they are tumbling out all over each other it looks like they could drag these stories out forever.

Never unerestimate the brazeness of the GOP and the right wing hypocrites. Morality and taxes only apply to the little people, right?

Anything alleged in a divorce proceeding needs to be vetted very carefully. People say lots of things in the heat of hate, in the grasp of jealousy. Still, the allegations will probably need to be explained if they exist.

I'm more worried about whether she actually is a dominionist. That is an issue that all Americans need to consider.

actually speak from personal knowledge even when they claim to be doing so.

In California, people declare things according to their "information and belief," so you need to see whether the statements are under penalty of perjury or perhaps whether the assertions are qualified in some fashion. Further, I hate to say this but, believe it or not, some people don't understand what the difference is between knowing something with certainty and just thinking it or even wishing or imagining it to be true.

in there -- as in dates, places, perhaps pics by a private investigator, voice mails, gifts etc.

It will be excellent reading <whistling>

but I really doubt any names would be mentioned.

Keep your eyes on her, Cindy.

But then, you know what to watch for, don't you?

confirms her affair. He actually told me this two days prior to the Enquirer story.

I still don't think this should be the focus of the campaign. The big O needs to stay above the fray and let the dirty work to us in the blogosphere.

I'm quite sure that the ball wouldn't be dropped on it because it's someone's family . . .!!!

Why do only Republicans get the benefit of the doubt?

When it was John Edwards, it was batted about for a week on the networks and for two weeks on Faux "News" as if it were the most important story to come along all year.

If the Reichwing wants to destroy us, then we must engage. They are thugs and bullies and we all know that thugs and bullies can't take a punch. They expose Democrats' affairs, but theirs are off limits? They send innocent people to jail for the crime of being popular Democrats, but they can cheat and steal from the government with impunity?

No more. I say we kick them in their sweaty little teabags until they cry for mercy and beg for an end to hostilities.

First, you try talking it out. If that doesn't work, you give back in kind and make it hurt worse because it's the only way to make it stop.

There is no negotiating with these motherfuckers. They refuse to give up when confronted with reason, truth, or justice. They leave us no choice but to meet them toe to toe and drop them like sandbags.

And Richter's now ex-wife, Debbie Richter, is definitely the woman that Palin got her former advisor, John Bitney, fired for having an affair with.

So there's definitely some soap opera -- and maybe one whole hell of a lot of soap opera -- involved.

:popcorn:

if not someone should go have a peek before they are sealed. Makes them look guilty to shut down an investigation. This certainly goes to character either way.

the guts to cover.

This is getting good. :popcorn:

Scott Richter Palin:Todd Palin Business Partner Emergency Motion - Todd Palin’s former business partner, named Scott .A.Richter who allegedly had an affair with Sarah Palin filled an emergency motion to seal his divorce records but it was denied.
The Palins own few undeveloped properties on the Safari Lake and Big Lake, AK in Alaska in partnership with Scott A. Richter and his ex-wife Debbie under “Richter Investments LLC.”.Debbie Richter was Palin’s campaign treasurer. Richter was awarded a job as the Director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend Division for her service.The State of Alaska gives its citizens “free money” checks every year out of this fund. This “free money” comes from oil royalties collected and investments. The Fund is currently worth $35 billion.Under Sarah and Debbie’s leadership in 2006, all Permanent Fund claims from residents (you have to make a claim for your check) were lost in a computer data entry failure.According courtrecords.alaska.gov:

?????????????? Hoo boy and hot damn, I haven't seen or heard anything about that one until now. Thanks, grannie4peace. Good catch!

Gotta go get even MORE popcorn. It's gonna be even a bumpier ride to the White House.

:mad:

That would be a reason to seal the papers. But sealing them would only raise more questions, not cause them to go away.

Dontcha think lil' ol' Deb would love to get a little revenge for destroying her marriage, if it all pans out to be true? "Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned" ("The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve).

:think:

Harvey Keitel as the wolf in Pulp Fiction. McCain's henchmen have spread across Alaska wiping away the many discordant clues there are to Ms. Palin's bogus persona.

:rofl:

They better get a bigger mop and more crews on the job because she's a very corrupt and nasty public funds thief.

is how arrogant they are with respects to what they think investigations might or might not pick up about their pasts.

I, for one, would not even think about running for public office, knowing that my past could (and probably would) be dug up for water cooler fodder. I wouldn't want to shame myself or my family, nor would I want to have someone else's name dragged through the mud.

Some of these people, though...

what...do they think nobody will ever find out????

or are the little....indiscretions....of such trivial importance that they've just forgotten about them after, oh, five minutes???

In accepting the nomination, Sarah Palin obviously must have known...or let's put it this way..she should have known that her life would be dissected. If she didn't care about the other people who might be hurt when details come out, then why is there such a "tsk tsk" attitude over "innocent parties" being hurt when Democrats want the details exposed?

This ain't a stinkin' tea party given by your great aunt Nellie

It's politics, and politics is very nasty business.

Unfortunately, most of us haven't achieved a sufficient level of Sainthood that would prevent us from wanting to see the Republicans lose at any cost.

It's no longer about the needs of the few. It's about the needs of the many.

+/- 250 million vs. five or six


I know which way the scale tips for me...

It was a good story while it lasted.

The cover of the National Enquirer alleges the affair was with Brad Hanson.

this shit is really entertaining

consulting with lawyers - tons of them.
2. That town they are all from is obviously too small.
3. McCain is probably paying the Natl Enquirer so he can get Leiberman.
4. We had a hint of something from her father and mother-in-laws comments (or semi-comments).
5. The world is ending so why not have an affair and possibly pretend to have a baby?
6. The best is - the ex-wife of the man Palis is conjectured to have had an affair with is a friend of Palin and the two females are partners in managing 35 billion in oil spoils and they lost the data - claims for the money.
6. Capture every word said by her and about her to get a start on measuring the hypocrisy.
7. Let's just hope that if this ends in a press conference that she doesn't cry like that Reverend did - what was his name?
8. Always remember this. Republicans demand saintliness of Democrats. That's the way this country operates.
9. The world may be Rove and rhe Reverends crushed oyster shell and there is Palin standing before us with her hair and hands covering herself in all modesty. Remember Rove promised the Reverends a tool in the form of a person who would open the doors and lead them to the rewriting of the Constitution for their heart's desire - the saving of fetus's so they can grow up without roofs over their head, no insurance, cheap food, and a future life in the military or as a mercenary with all their body, head, psyche, and hopes and hates all precisely entered in their databases. (This is not disparaging of our kids who are the soldiers - this is about people who put abortion over torture, death, destruction, invasion, rights denial, plus debt and the owning AND selling of America - person by person and business by business.)

Yeah, the affair story is undoubtedly true.
