The Campaign To Bankrupt The Palin Family
Redstate ^ | March 24, 2009 | Martin Knight

Posted on 03/25/2009 12:54:31 AM PDT by SolidWood

From just September till now, Sarah Palin has accumulated a personal dept of over $500,000 in legal fees defending herself against fake/false/frivolous ethics charges. That’s Five Hundred Thousand Dollars.

A group of Alaska liberals, with the apparent cooperation of members of the Alaska Democratic Party have been filing ethics charge after ethics charge against Sarah Palin. The aim? Not to get her impeached and booted from office, because every single one of the charges are frivolous, baseless and even fairly deranged - one was even filed in the name of a soap opera character - but something far more personal.

These people want to bankrupt the Palins and leave them destitute. They want to empty their bank accounts so that they cannot afford the basics and necessities of life after Governor Palin leaves office.

With the exception of the partisan ethics complaint filed against Palin because her husband (a private citizen) made it clear (as was his right) that he didn’t think a policeman (now a hero to liberals) who used a taser on a ten year old child should continue to keep his gun and badge, all of these ethics charges were filed after John McCain tapped her to be his Vice-President.

David Bonoir, as the House Democratic Whip pioneered this tactic in the mid-1990s after the Gingrich Revolution swept Republicans to their first Majority in forty years. Immediately after Congress resumed, Bonoir began filing ethics complaints - frivolous, partisan complaints that even Democratic members of the ethics committee mostly laughed away - against Newt Gingrich on a weekly basis, week after week like clockwork and sending out press releases to friendly press outlets.

Perhaps the republicans need to create a massive corps of lawyers on retainer who are a counter attack machine.

IOW united we stand.

What’s next? Are they going to go after her because she has a special needs child that they figure is somehow a drain on the State? She’s got my support but the daily dem/media harping on Gov. Palin does have an effect. Reminds me of the bitter public fight between Hamilton and Burr.

Maybe CONSERVATIVES in ALASKA could start filing lawsuits against the ones who are filing lawsuits against PALIN, for mental anxiety and stress due to their harassment of Palin. At a million dollars a whack. If I lived in ALASKA I would do it, because I’ve had enough of the COMMUNIST BUZZHEADS! Any legal secretary knows how to type a brief for filing, and by law a person can act as their own lawyer...WHY NOT.

It will take you a notarization, but if you want to file an ethics complaint against Dems:

I was fortunate enough to see her speak twice & yes she is impressive! She speaks from the heart; she knows what her principles are; she doesn’t need “no sticken” teleprompter.

Posters on Conservatives4Palin indicated that Glenn Beck will bring up this issue.

Stay tuned.

I could only read a small part of it. I am comforted though, knowing the Palin’s are in God's grace and there is nothing man can do about that.

How did the $500,000 build up if the charges are obviously false? Why does she have to do anything if the accusors can’t make a case?

I’m not looking for a defense of Sarah here because I think Sarah is a good, careful person. I’m wondering why a person (could be me, I suppose) must pay people to help them defend against things that are obviously false.

Perhaps someone can take a simple example and explain how it progresses to the point where a lawyer is needed.

The “Troopergate” investigation (probably the costliest) alone cost her $ 95,000.
With now 10 lawsuits 500,000 are quickly reached. 6 have been dismissed, but it costs money to defend, even against false charges.

Having this idiot one step away from the Presidency would have the rest of the world enraged as this woman doesn’t even have an understanding of basic geology.

I think she understands basic geology- she knows that there is a lot of oil available to us if we drill into the ground. I also presume that she understands the difference between Geology and Geography- something that your snarky comment indicates that you do not. Alaska was the second to the last state admitted to the union- you should ask President Obamateur if that makes it the 49th or the 56th state.
