Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer.
Joe Biden 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 Democratic presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.Democrat leaders in Congress:Harry Reid is a lawyer.Nancy Palsies a lawyer.
John McCain was a naval officer and aviator.
President Bush was a businessman.
Vice President Cheney was a businessman.
The leaders of the Republican Revolution: farmers and businessmen.
Newt Gingrich was a history professor.
Tom Delay was a businessman.
Dick Armey was an economist.
House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.
The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.
The last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 33 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, when running against Ronald Reagan, an actor,in 1976.
Democrats often scorn or attack men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney; or who heal the sick, like Frist; or who reflect on history and speak for conservatism, like Gingrich.They often see successful business people who provide goods and services to the American people and our trade partners as actual enemies of the less successful. Rather than raising the less-successful to success,Democrats keep them dependent while punishing the successful with higher taxes and more business regulation.
At whom does Obama and his Congressional lawyer-leadership point? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, investment firms and 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 their base among the American people (unions, teachers, minorities, activists,trial lawyers).
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. This is their objective; this is their training.Confined to the actual practice of law,fine. But it is an awful and improper way to govern a nation.
When lawyer-politicians begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the objective of winning becomes all-consuming.It requires that someAmericansbe seen as“adverse parties” of their own government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit, regardless of the vision of those on the Left.We are citizens of a republic that allows us liberty, opportunity, and the right to strive for success and happiness in a free market economy.
Today, we are drowning in laws; existing laws are contorted by judicial decisions; the current administration seeks an omnipresence in all parts of our once-private lives. Many Americans have the wisdom to realize that Hope does not come from expanding welfare via liberal lawyer-politicians,but from personal dreams nourished by a sound education and hard work.Perhaps by 2010 more Americans will recognize that more lawyer-politicians with more power will only make our debt larger and 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 frivolous lawsuits and huge medical malpractice suits. This tort reform effort has continually been blocked ~ even from being voted on ~ by the Democrat Party, and once again is excluded from any of the 2000 pages in the Democrat constructed healthcare bill. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association goes to the Democrat Party who refuse to demand or even support tort reform, then you realize who is ultimately responsible for our medical and product costs remaining high.

Ohio Right To Life endorses!
Ohio Right to Life PAC Endorses Statewide Candidates
Powerful Slate of Pro-Life Candidates Committed to a Culture of Life
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) - The Ohio Right to Life Society PAC today announced its endorsements in five of Ohio's statewide races.
"The philosophical direction of the United States Senate hangs in the balance and we have learned the hard way that elections do have consequences. The election of Rob Portman to the United States Senate should be priority number one for the pro-life movement to ensure that abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion does not become part of any national health care plan. It is an absolute responsibility for the men and women of Ohio's Pro-Life movement to support Rob Portman, who supports, promotes and has defended a culture of life throughout his career," said Mike Gonidakis, on behalf of the Ohio Right to Life PAC.
Marshal Pitchford, Chairman of the Ohio Right to Life Society Board of Trustees stated:
"The Right to Life movement in Ohio is fortunate to have experienced and highly qualified pro-life candidates seeking the State's executive offices."
"As a former speaker of the Ohio House, Jon Husted brings a wealth of practical experience to the office of Secretary of State. As an adoptee, he also brings a first-person view of the value of life and the importance of providing women positive alternatives to abortion."
"Throughout his career, Mike DeWine has been a pro-life champion. In the U.S. Senate, he sponsored the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, which reflects the fact that attacks on pregnant women can injure or end two lives. As Attorney General, he will defend the value of all human life."
"John Kasich had an outstanding pro-life voting record during his career in Congress. His running mate, Mary Taylor, is an articulate advocate of the right to life movement. As Governor and Lt. Governor, they will reflect the common sense and common decency of the people of Ohio."
"Josh Mandel has defended life and freedom as both a state representative and a marine in Iraq. He will bring the same boundless energy and "can-do" attitude to the office of Treasurer of State."

The following outstanding candidates received the Ohio Right to Life PAC endorsement due to their commitment to Life.

Letter from Mike DeWine
Dear Friend,
Richard Cordray needs to join 13 other state attorneys general in calling for the removal of a provision in the national health care bill that exempts the state of Nebraska from having to pay for any newly eligible Medicaid recipients.
Ohio is bleeding jobs and facing a $6 billion budget deficit next year. The last thing Ohio taxpayers can afford is to foot the bill for Medicaid recipients in Nebraska!
Richard Cordray needs to stand up to fellow Democrats Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and President Obama before Ohioans are forced to pay millions in increased Medicaid spending for services we’ll never receive. I urge him to speak out and join his fellow attorneys general who have already asked Congress to remove the “Cornhusker Kickback” from the health care bill.
This provision is beyond outrageous. It amounts to a $100 million payoff to one senator for his support of the health care bill. Richard Cordray’s job is to protect Ohio. He needs to do the right thing and immediately ask for the repeal of this provision.
Very respectfully yours,
Mike DeWine
