    >*This is very interesting! I never thought about it this way.
    >The Lawyers' Party
    >By Bruce Walker
    >**
    >**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 Ed wards 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.
    >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.

    >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

    >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.

    >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.
