What do you consider the right qualifications to be a judge? Here is Mr. Milam`s.
"Take a look at what I'm wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it. Last off, my students will learn about self respect. You think anybody thinks I'm a failure because I go home to Starla at night? Forget about it!" REX

I will say this: I live in Lauderdale County but if I could vote, he would have my vote. I have been riding around in my vehicle with a magnet on the back supporting him and it's been there since Sept. 2009. He has been my lawyer more than once and he is always honest and upfront about EVERYTHING. He IS a honest, Christian man and I think Colbert County would benefit greatly having Mr. Milam as their next judge. And no, he is not paying me to say this. He has been my lawyer on and off since 2002!
I have heard about some of the other candidates
joining a large church since the campaign when they didn;t even attend before and even some that have left a small church to a bigger church
hoping for more votes!! Then one of those same candidates has opened an office in Colbert county to make the voters believe she actually practiced law in Colbert instead of Lauderdale. God sees all though and they will answer to him for their falsehoods.. Milam seems to me a steady family man and Christian of more than just campaign time.
So do you guys believe that you have to be a parent to serve as a judge? What if another candidate was unable to conceive children? Does that make them unqualified to serve?. Does Mr.Milam think that if a woman is barren or if a man if sterile that it hinders their intelligence?I have close friends who have not been able to conceive a child and they are wonderful people.In fact I would not think twice in letting them judge me or my family in any matter.I think Mr. Milam should recant that statement.It`s not very christian of him to say it.
Well I'm a bit confused why he would want to start drug court in district court. He talks about drug court being an alternative to a felony conviction--true. But the district court is premature to start drug court. There hasn't been an indictment yet. The grand jury might not even indict the person. And a conditional plea to the felony is a prerequisite to entering drug court (at least in most counties). District court can't take felony pleas. So I don't understand his point.

I admit that I do not know the ins and outs of the district court but from what you say it seems that he doesn`t either.And some of you guys want to elect him because he goes to a certain church?? How about he has a grasp on what the job requires.
Well, folks, according to Mr. Milam, I must be going to hell. I don't have any children and 90% of my work is in a county in which I don't live.

Let's see, I can't be a nurse to children, because I don't have any and can't work in any county but Lauderdale. Oh, dear, my father worked at TVA in Sheffield...and all this time I thought he was the dearest man who ever lived.

Thank God for Mr. Milam putting us all in our place.

Mrs Joe and Firenze,
Your friend Tina's qualifications look like child's play compared to Tim Milams. I understand why you want to down play the significance of his being a parent when your friend and candidate has no experience here.


To the People of Colbert County,
Judge Carpenter's court is primarily a juvenile court. Most all cases involving juveniles wind up before him. Have real experience in raising children is cricial in this court for the purpose of dealing with rebellious children and dysfunctional families.

Do not believe the hyperole' being espoused on Shoalandaspeaks and by others here in these forums. Most of these people in these forums toting the water for Tina Parker ARE NOT VOTERS IN COLBERT COUNTY. We don't need a cabal from accross the river telling us how to vote.
The family court judge in Lauderdale County has children--of course, they don't speak to him since his divorce. He also has one of the lowest ratings in the state on the Courthouse Forum.

I have several friends who have both biological and adopted children. Ask them which is which, and they'll always say they forget. For Milam to distinguish between the two makes me sick.

So Firenze,
You live in Florence. What dog you got in this hunt? Why are pro Tina when you would have no experience with any of the other candidates?
Why is Tina's support all coming from thre florence side of the river?

Not only that, and not to say that he wouldn't have adopted some child at some point, but his adopted child was a relative whose parents had died. He didn't go out and randomly adopt some homeless child just to give the child love and opportunity. Be careful of the man who toots his own horn excessively.

Then why are all the support signs on the Colbert side, your Porkiness?


So which side of the river you live on?
Hi jugflier, its obvious you area supporter of Tims, since you do have his pic as your avatar. but why are you so down on Tina? You say that mrs joe and firenza are friends of Ms. parkers when they never mentioned her at all. How do you know that they aren't supporters of Polly or Chad or Nathan? You say to ignore the hyperbole on sholanda speaks, which all I can find is a guest commentary about the absurd statement Tim mentioned about having to be a parent to be judge. There are at least 2 candidates that are childless and BOTH of them are very well qualified for the job.

I am a resident of Colbert County. Who will I vote for? I'm not sure yet, but I do know that it will NOT be Tim MIlam, if for no other reason than you on here slinging mud in his name.

.... I agree! One thing that bothered me about Milam's statement is that he is involved in so many of his church activities and that he delivers meals to "shut ins". I know at least 3 elderly folks who live near his church and have never had any offer of help from Milam. It bothers me that candidates want to brag about good deeds and offer no proof of any. Don't bring your bragging.....true or not...into your political goal. People (VOTERS) can see through it easily.

The context of his statement is in lieu of the office he is running for. Judge carpenter handles primarily the juvenile cases in Colbert County. So yes, i would think that having experience as a parent would be highly beneficial to the job.

Now a question for you. Do you think Tina Parker could be qualified to be a juvenile judge with no experience at dealing with teenage rebellion or any other stage of child developent? If so, what qualifications does she have that would allow her to deal with this critical age group?
Jug...apparently you misunderstood my post. I AM NOT a friend/supporter of Tina Parker or any other candidate. I was simply commenting on posts I have read. Mr. Milam was being dogged for talking about being a parent, my point was him using the parent angle was no different than another candidate joining a church recently for church going votes.

Funny you want someone to follow their emotions on the bench.Isn`t this country in the shape it is because we have jurists relying on emotion on the bench instead of the law and the Constitution? So yes I believe someone who dosn`t have children does qualify them to try juvenile cases.They can see things as an IMPARTIAL judge. By the way why pick on Tina Parker?Isn`t there another candidate that also dosn`t have children? Why single her out?

No answer to my question. The answer is she has none. That is the point of her minions coming in here and blasting Tim Milam and the reason Shoalandaspeaks did a hatchet job on him. To divert attention away from that fact.

His statement shows the stark contrast in the differences between the two condidates.

The message is clear from the Black Sheep, we want TP come heck or highwater, we don't give a rip about qualifications, and if you cross us we make you pay.
These seem to be her friends. Is this what you want for a judge?
I did answer the question.She is totally qualified and so is the other candidate that is childless. That`s like saying that someone who hasn`t served in the military is not qualified to be president. As I recall FDR didn`t serve but he was a fine war time president. Why are you attacking Ms.Parker? I criticized Mr.Milam because he made an ignorant statement. Now if he would like to recant that statement then then I would stop with the criticism.
Its quiet obvious when tpmiller fan is in the room and quiet obvious shaolandaspeaks is her family owned mudslinger news set up for the political scene as is her temp office in the storage units in mshoals! she ran as republican in lauderdale fromwhat I heard then switch to Democrat and decides to go to colbert and try it there! No matter what candidate you choose some redneck is gonna pick every comment to death and twist it to their candidates benefit.. Cant wait to see the mudslinging after Mondays next candidates profile is posted at shoalsinsider.. Be smart and investigate thourougly your candidates,, see who has been paying taxes and registered themself to vote in Colbert County and how long they each have been in practice or registered in the County they now claim to run in..

The Shoals Insider and Shoalanda Speaks are owned by the Truitts, not TP's family. I have never seen an endorsement of any candidate on either SI or SS. You'd better stop spreading those rumors unless you can prove it, which you can't, because it's a boat load of manure and you know it. At least TPM fans aren't out spreading outright LIES about her opponents. You ought to be glad this forum is anonymous or you'd be in a heap of legal trouble. Oh, and "did a hatchet job" on Milam?? Please, Tim Milam answered those questions himself. I'm sure all the other questionnaires will be published soon as well. People can pick those apart too if they want to.

Jugflier, this also pertains to you and what you said on the other thread about the same subject.
