>The Lawyers' Party By Bruce Walker *
>
The Democratic Party has
>become the Lawyers Party .
>Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a
> lawyer.
> Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer.
>John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.
> Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although
>Gore did not graduate).
> Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except
>for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.
> Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:
> Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.
>
>
> The Republican Party is different.
> President Bush is a businessman.
> Vice President Cheney is a businessman.
> The leaders of the Republican Revolution:
> Newt Gingrich was a history professor.
> Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.
> House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.
> The former Senate Majority Leader Bill First is a heart surgeon.
> Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald
>Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the
> Republican nomination as a sitting president, running
> against Ronald Reagan in 1976.
>
>The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who
> are often the targets of lawyers.
>The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn
> men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal
> the sick, like First, or who immerse themselves in history, like
> Gingrich.
>
>The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services
>that people want, as the enemies of America . And, so we have seen
>the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers
> Party, grow.
>
>Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies,
> oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food
> restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and
> anyone producing anything of value in our nation.
>
>This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the
>eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully
> representing their clients, in this case the American
> people.
> Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits,
>they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers
>always parse language to favor their side.
>
>Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an
>awful
> way to govern a great nation. When politicians as
>lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other
>Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our
>life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties
> of
> our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast
>social
>class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us
>a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from
>lawyers.
>
> Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial
> decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent
> lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has
> a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable,
> not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our
> next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the
> role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.
> **
> ** When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our
>efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then
>the role of litigation in America has become crushing.
>
>We cannot expect the Lawyers Party to provide real change, real reform
>or real hope in America Most Americans know that a republic in
>which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected
>judges is not what Washington intended in 1789. Most Americans
>grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the
>heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more lawyers
>and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit
>of enterprise in our economy.
>
> Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought
>to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American
>society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does
>not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished
>by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more
> lawyers with more power will only make our problems
> worse.
>
>The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the
>world’s lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been
>introduced in congress several times in the last several years
>to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling
>hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it
>to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical
> malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked
>from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97%
>of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association
>goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible
>for our medical and product costs being so high!
>
>Please -- DO PASS THIS ON!!!
