The Lawyers' Party, By Bruce Walker

The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers Party.
Barack Obama ​was​ a lawyer.
Michelle Obama ​was a lawyer.​
Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer. (Correction: When he was impeached he was also disbarred)
John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was 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.
Newt Gingrich is 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 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!

Would you have expected to discover anything less?
Naturally they are lawyers and wanna be lawyers. Why else would they expect to get away with their perpetual lawlessness?
Nice post.

Yod ... WOW ... that is without a doubt the most awesome Post i have seen on BM. Every school child, college student and professors should be made to read this. I have always considered "lawyers" parasitic scum, much like Real Estate Agents etc. Obviously there is a "need" for some but certainly not in the numbers you have shown. Great Post, my compliments.

Actually I was a little surprised that the last GOP President who was a lawyer is Gerald Ford.

Most of Congress are lawyers, and that shouldn't surprise anyone since they are making law; but that was never the intention of the Founding Fathers. They envisioned a government where ordinary citizens would serve and then return to the work force.

Lawyers used to be the lowest rung of society, in my opinion. I think insurance companies own that distinction now, with lawyers coming in a close third, after the mainstream media. (lame attempt at humor)

Absolutely. The "Main Stream Media" is plunging in believability and has finally been exposed as the mouthpiece of the Political and Corporate filth. They are little more than lying prostitutes. I think it was at a meeting of the CFR a while back when Rockefeller in a speech gave the "media" thanks for being what they are. That alone is enough to condemn them.

ya know.....it's not just the main stream media, right?

Next is inflation from all the money that was printed while O was in office.

It has to come...buy gold.
(yeah right as if I can?)


At least stock up on food. Can't hurt. The next few months are going to get interesting.



But back to the topic of this thread:

I remember when doctors made house calls!?! Yep, it was a little before my time, actually, but my parents were there. It was not that expensive.

It seems that health care costs started sky-rocketing in America at the same time lawyers and insurance companies got more heavily involved through unions & corporations & bureaucrats. All we had to see is the V.A. to know how Obamacare would work. It was completely written by partisan lawyers (Democrats who locked Republicans out) and designed to be (en)forced upon us, the American citizen, through the IRS.

I still can't believe there are people who don't see the structural problems with that?

Yod ... You are spot on regarding the Food and what comes.

When I was a child the Doctors still made house calls where we lived. It was quite something in retrospect ... the nearest town was 30 miles away with a doctor in it. Pine Bluffs Wyoming had a very old Doctor who had started out making "House Calls" in a Buggy. that Gentleman died before i left high School ... he was very old but still had his office until he died ... went to bed and "left". Not a bad way to go.

The other town in the opposite direction about the same distance had a Doctor who liked to hit the bottle ...especially after hours. I was in high School and my Father ripped his arm open while changing out a diesel truck engine one evening. It was nasty and had to have stitches asap. My Father was unable to drive so I drove him and when we arrived i had to pound quite heavily on the door to roust the doctor. He let us in and asked if we wanted a drink ... we said yes. Luckily my Father was a medic in the Korean War ...while the Doctor poured us some whiskey and sat down at the table, my Father was asking him where everything was and I was fetching it and bringing it to the table. While the three of us finished the bottle my Father sat there cleaning the wound and stitching himself up. When he was finished he asked the Doctor how much and the Doctor said nothing but if we could bring him some Buchanan's Black and White at some point he would appreciate it. We did.

Regarding the Vets Care do not forget "Watson" the computer or The Death Panels.
