On the Democratic side, Barack Obama got out of Harvard Law School, worked for a firm, offered his legal expertise as a community organizer and went into politics. Joe Biden graduated from law school and almost immediately ran for office. In the Democratic primary, winner Obama, runner-up Hillary Clinton and third-place finisher John Edwards were all lawyers. In 2004, both Democratic nominees, John Kerry and Edwards, were lawyers. Al Gore, who ran in 2000, left law school without a degree and went into politics. His running mate, Joe Lieberman, was a Yale-trained lawyer. Mike Dukakis, the 1988 Democratic presidential nominee, was a Harvard trained lawyer and ran with lawyer Lloyd Bentsen. In fact, every Democratic presidential nominee for president and vice president in the last seven elections except Gore who dropped out of law school to run for Congress has been a lawyer.
So what is my problem with lawyer, while except for the most part they are slime balls, lawyers do not run companies, defend the country, lead people, build things, grow food or create capital. Lawyers have destoried more than they have created, maybe that is why Democrats like them so much.
If you want change so much vote McCain/Palin not for another team of lawyers.

OMG I was JUST thinking that last night.

How can anyone think another freaking lawyer is the answer to our problems?

Just like we do not need any more lawyers, we do not need more lawyers running our country.

Compare this to the fact that the last Republican who was a lawyer who was president or Vice President was Gerald Ford. The other interesting fact about this years election is it is the first time in a long time that a major party does not have some military experience on the ticket. Neither Senator Obama nor Senator Biden have any military experience. I believe the last time was before FDE (He had a military connection as Sect of the Navy)

I could do without ever seeing another lawyer politician. A Wal-Mart stocker makes more of a difference to our lives than a lawyer will ever do.

Wow... those comments have been well researched. Out of the last 43 presidents we have had 25 that were lawyers. With any luck we will have 26 very soon. On a more serious note, lawyers often take on the task of law becuase they like to see all sides of an issue and then work toward some form of resolution. Further, may I ask why anyone, who wants to vote for change would give the presidency back to the party that has created such a mess as the "R"s have. The following quote has been attibuted to both Einstein and Benjamin Franklin and it isn't clear who first said it but it still rings very true. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Now, tell me why would we elect the republicans again and expect anything other than we have had in the last eight years.

Assuming all republicans are the same is like saying 45% of the country are identical to each other mentally and emotionally. 41% are all identical to each other mentally and emotionally. Then there is approximately 14% which are outcasts that don't think or act like anyone else. The whole "More of the same" crap was inevitable. It could have been Ron Paul who was nominated and democrats still would have said the same thing.


myLot reputation of 72/100. bobmnu (1746)   ranked 173 out of 4,368 in politics  3 months ago

If you understand the legal profession they are not to find resolution but to do what is best for the client. A criminal lawyer's job is to get his client off, it is not to see that justice is done. A tort lawyer is to get as much money for his client as he can regardless of the clients role in the situation. An example is Ralph Nader and his fight with GM over the Corvair Car (Unsafe at any Speed). One of the first things he did was to see if the police issued a speeding ticket and then forced the courts to accept the fact that with out a speeding ticket you had to assume the person was traveling at the posted speed even if skid marks or other evidence indicated differently. Most of the time police did not issue as speeding ticket because they did not want to pile on the family facing hospital bills or funeral expenses. The Truth Be Dam*ed just win your case.

Q. What's the difference in a sludge-sucking bottom feeder and a lawyer?

A. One of them is a person.

No we certainly don't need any more lawyers in our nation's government. I'd much rather have a soccer mom be president than a lawyer.


myLot reputation of 59/100. gewcew23 (3424)   ranked 462 out of 4,368 in politics  3 months ago

Right on Clrumfelt!

Q. Do you know how both fish and politicans get in trouble.

A. They open their mouths.

I have been doing more research on Obama did you know when he left Harvard law school he was offered a ivy league position but he turned it down and took a job with a very small law firm with low pay, so happen to be Tony Rezko slumlord millionaire who was born in Syria was hooked up with this very same small law firm.
As many people know Tony Rezko was busted a few months ago and headed for prison for misuse of investment loans adding up millions of dollar.
I went to you tube in the search bar typed in Obama-Rizko and some NBC news video came up so I watch them,finding the Chicago Sun newspaper has been investigating Tony Rezko money fraud.
The money was to upgrade run down building on the east side of Chicago for the low income black people,but Rezko never upgraded the run down building and left the poor black people on the east side of Chicago hanging.
It is all there in the NBC new video tapes at you tube,Barack Obama wrote 6-8 letters encouraging millions in loans to be made to Tony Rezko,NBC news in these news videos at you tube have well documented Obama's letters of encouagement,this was done out of the little law firm Obama choose to work at over the ivy league law firm.
Obama claims he was clueless that Tony Rezko was defrauding millions of dollars out of the investment loans he received to upgrade these building for the poor black people.
The run down building are on the NBC news videos as well,and the buildings was in Obama's district after he became a U.S. senator.
Interesting fact Tony Rezko was who got the great manion deal for Barack Obama when Barack Obama bought his 1.6 million dollar mansion in Chicago,Tony Rezko got the mansion $300,00 below list price for Barack Obama.
This is all well documented in the NBC news videos at you tube and very worth wild viewing all the facts they have on this matter backed up with the Chicago times newspaper investigators on this case.
Far as attorney I know all about that stuff and in regard to Barack Obama in my opinion he has a serious problems he did not know for over twenty years he pastor Jeremiah Wright preached anti-American sermons,his friend of twenty yeas William Ayers who still wants to bomb U.S. government building but Obama was clueless,Tony Rezko his friend of seventeen years he did not know was a sum lord and crook,Barack Obama seems to to be saying he lives with a bubble on his head and just don't know what the hell is going on around him with people he has rubs shoulders with for more then twenty years,but he wants to be president of the United States of American voting 140 times not present
which means he was in the voting arena but he did not vote,a present can't just be present they have to make snip decisions twenty-four seven,I don't thin he ha an experience other then never know what the hell is going on right under his nose.

(Source of information you tube Obama-Rezko NBC news video plus many other media news video's on Obama-Rezko at you tube)
