Quite an interesting observation. Explains a hell of a lot!

Found this on someone's log. Not sure who to credit this too, but
very interesting.

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 Gi ngrich
was a history professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and, Dick Armey
was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic
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 i n 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 t o view some Americans as clients and other
Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the leg al system in our
life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become 'adverse parties' of
our very governme nt. 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 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 th at
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 p ower will only make our problems w orse.

Biased pieces always appeal to those who seem to identify with them in some form or fashion. It was a yawner at best for me.
