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.
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 go to the
Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and
product costs being so high!
Please -- DO PASS THIS ON!!!
But that makes some amount of sensereply
