This is very interesting!  I never thought about it this way. Perhaps this is why so many physicians are conservatives or republicans.

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 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 leg al 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!

Can you guess how much of the $7 billion Chrysler received in bailout money they plan on paying back…zero, zilch, nada.

Do they actually know what they’re talking about.  On Monday, President Obama singled out Rep. Charles Rangel for praise as he announced legislation to close tax loopholes for corporations tha have operations outside of the United States.  The problem is Rep. Rangel has been operating offshore tax shelters for years.  This must be one of those do as I say, not as I do moments.

How is the government planning on tracking all the stimulus money?  Create a Stimulus Czar….nope, your going to do it.

I’m guessing these teachers aren’t complaining about the pay and benefits they receive.

Oklahoma has passed a resolution trying to send a message to congress to “get back to their proper constitutional role”.

So, the governor wants his citizens to scale back consumerism…so I would assume that if less people were consuming items, Oregon will need less people to sell those items.  Since Oregon’s unemployment rate is second only to Michigan, this must be a plan to make them #1.

I recently asked my friend’s little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’ She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.’

Her parents beamed. ‘Wow…what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.’

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?’

I said, ‘Welcome to the Republican Party.’

Her parents still aren’t speaking to me.

Here’s someone that knows how to make a dollar.  Donald Trump, who did support Hillary Clinton, now supports John McCain.

Finally some truth…the Democratic Congress acknowledges that it isn’t equipped to lead or find a way out of the current financial crisis.

There isn’t one party or one person that you can pin the current financial crisis on.  From former President Clinton opening the gates to the republican and democratic congresses not doing anything about the oncoming storm since the late 90′s.  But saying that the Democrats bear no responsibility is juvenile.  Sen. Pelosi’s comments indicate that she is either unaware of the facts or believes that her constituents are just ignorant.  There is enough blame to go around.
