This is very interesting! I never thought about it this way.
This info come directly from an email sent to me... please enjoy.
The Democrat Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and
Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are
lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for
president, is a lawyer, and so is his wife, Elizabeth. 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 the Democrat Party in Congress: the
Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President
Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the Republican
Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom
Delay was an exterminator; and, **** Armey was an economist. House
Minority Leader Boehner was a plasti c manufacturer, not a lawyer. 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. 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 chai ns, 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 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 ho pe 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. DO PASS THIS ON!
