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 worlds 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!
