America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
Frightening but true
Published on August 21, 2008 By Moderateman In Politics

Are lawyers running our country? you be the judge in this case I lay out.

Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and John Edwards are lawyers. Al Gore went to law school but failed to graduate {something that somehow never gets mentioned by the main stream media}. Gerald Ford, was a Lawyer who left office 31 years years ago was also a lawyer and the only Republican among the bunch.

The natural consequences of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers, is that pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurants chains, large retail chains, bankers and anyone else producing anything of value to our nation is view as the "ENEMY"!

Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always "Phrase" language to favor their side.

When politicians, as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system becomes corrupt. Some Americans become "adverse parties" of our government. We are not all litigants of some vast social class-action suit, We are citizens of a republic that has PROMISED us a great deal of freedom from laws, courts and from lawyers.

 Today, we are drowning in laws, we are contorted by judicial decisions, and we are driven to distraction by the ever present lawyers sticking their face in all parts of our lives, public and private. Lawyers do have a place in our society, but not as vast and unchecked as it has become!

When one of the most important decisions our next president will be is who will he appoint to SCOTUS, the role of lawyers and the law in America has gotten to great.

We cannot expect the "Lawyers Party" to provide us with real change, real reform or real hope in America. Most Americans know that almost every MAJOR government action must be "blessed" by nine unelected judges is NOT what the constitution intended in 1789.

The framers of our constitution made the president "COMMANDER-IN CHIEF of our armed forces, keeping ultimate power OUT of the hands of military professionals. MOST Americans understand that we cannot fight a war when lawsuits are being used to try to stop the Commander-in chief from carrying out his duty.

In the Lawyers Party our children are being taught in public school to to mock and scorn men who create wealth. The Lawyers party sees these people who provide goods and services that we the people want and need as "ENEMIES OF AMERICA". Oddly enough most of the campaign money they get comes from where else? Other lawyers!.

There is much that is hypocritical in the lawyers party, for a single instance Richard "Dickie" Scruggs,  a prominent lawyer who took on "big Tobacco", Asbestos and insurance companies was sentenced this last Friday to five years in prison for his role in trying to bribe a judge {another lawyer} Scruggs earned hundreds of millions of dollars, much like our friend from the lawyers party John Edwards. Both these men pretended to have these wonderful role model personal lives but under it all the lawyer came through, when they could not win fair they would resort to cheating the very system the helped create.

As a result. increasing numbers of our citizens do NOT VOTE! WE keep forgetting ultimate power lies with us.. the common people, we need desperately to vote OUT these lifetime politicians and keep lawyers from ruining our country.

Okay, but the rookies will soon forget. Power moves in mysterious ways.

And if they do then the following election they will need to go.  They will only forget if we allow them the time to foget.

Are we ALL hooked on Boston Legal?

Boston Legal is an awesome show.  You just can't script the chemistry between Spader and Shatner.

But it only takes one term to get the "golden Parachute".

Maybe if we are able to kick out a majority of elected officials they will start to remember who they work for and actually start listening to us.Okay, but the rookies will soon forget. Power moves in mysterious ways.

How true that very old say is "power corrupts" there is more to the saying but this past seemed appropriate.

We have turned into a nation of sheep for the most part, MOST of us follow the leaders.

IN corporations (those evil things) it is kind of a poison pill.  If the company gets bought out, the upper management gets a very very nice severance.

With COngress, all they need to do is get elected (and not convicted) once to get the retirement and other benefits that make the "rich CEOs" look like pikers.  I am sure you have heard of congressmen who get 150% of their salary in retirement.  LIke us "real" people would ever have a plan like that.

Very good article but I must add that it didn't go far enough, the u.s.a system runs under what we were taught is a checks  and balance system of government ,as the founders wanted, and envisioned,but 2 of these check points are now merge when we have lawyers making the laws in OUR congress and another group of them running the other the judicial branch and administrating the laws been made by their collegues and this is compound when at times in our country like during the clinton years they were running all of the 3 check points ,THIS IS A  JOKE!!
