Sent to me by a friend. Now I can better understand the relationships between
Democrats and tort reform. Not putting down Democrats, or anything, just
thinking out loud.

This hits close to home but makes some interesting points. A similar theme
was articulated by Scalia a while back when he essentially said that "we
are devoting too many of our best minds to lawyering".

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 Frist 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 Frist,
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 lawyers use criminal prosecution as a continuation of
politics by other means, as happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and
Tom Delay, then the power of lawyers in America is too great. 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!

create wealth?? HAHAHAHAHA!!!

in the past 10 years the middle class has't had a pay increase. read
THIS article by a noted CONSERVATIVE, david frum:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/04/2....html?hpt=Sbin

the rich created wealth by STEALING from the MIDDLE class then having
the balls to make the middle class pay for their mistakes

, or who heal the sick, like Frist,
or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.


and gingrich? what was his view on slavery and racism?


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'

enemies? like bush locking up US citizens on US soil without trial?


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.


or like the wealthy right wingers who turn meat packaging over to the
meat companies, resulting in E coli infections in children, or drug
pricing to the drug companies resuting in the US having the highest
drug prices in the world, or turning healthcare over to insurance
companies resulting in the US having the highest healthcare costs in
the world...

that the type of business you mean?


Today, we are drowning in laws


gee. the GOP controlled the govt...totally...for 6 years.

did they reduce the number of laws? nope.

.. 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.


anybody know what this means? how do democrats 'sue america'?


We cannot expect the Lawyers' Party to provide real change


gee. we just got healthcare. that looks like real change. the GOP?
nothing.

except 4400 dead US troops.

, 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

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..


declining moral values? anybody know what this means?

OOHHHH...now i remember...put a cop in every bedroom to make sure
you're having govt approved sex...

in the name of a conservative, smaller govt.



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


notice limit punitive damages?

any sign of increased responsibility on the part of corporations? the
rich? nope

29 miners die in w. virginia. their famiies sue. why? because there
are few laws protecting minors

mothers whose children die from e coli infections sue. why? because
there are no laws protecting our food supply

and why are there no laws?

because the 'business men' of whom you speak so highly...protected
themselves by not permitting such laws to exist.

no wonder the rich hate lawyers. they've prevented any protection for
the middle class...and they want to gut the last vestiges of any
protection at all

*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!

Pssst......

According to congressmerge.com, a searchable database on the 110th
congress...


Your database search matched 78 members of Congress, including:



•19 Senators and 58 Representatives
•78 Republicans
You searched for members of Congress who fulfill all the following
criteria:


•They are Republicans.
•Their Professional experience includes "attorney".

I found another 3 under lawyer for a total of 81


So what? Like Jim says, liberals are dishonest as hell. You're a good example of
same.

Now hush. I'm done with you. Maybe in June I'll answer another of your inane
posts.
