Who and what is the Democratic Party?

Simple, it is the party of lawyers. Think for a minute what all these politicians have in common: Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. They are all lawyers. Al Gore went to law school but did not graduate, Lloyd Bentsen, former VP nominee in 1976, went to law school. In contrast, in the Republican party George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were businessmen, Newt Gingrich a history professor, John Boehner a plastic manufacturer, former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. The last Republican president who was a lawyer was Gerald Ford and he left office in 1976.

The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work who are often the target of lawyers.

The Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush, Cheney and Romney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or immerse themselves in history, like Newt Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America.

For example, whom do Hillary Clinton and Obama go after? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food chains, large businesses, bankers, anyone producing anything of value in our nation.

Change cannot be brought to our nation by lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from hard work nourished by personal dreams.

The United States represents 5 percent of the world's population and 66 percent of the world's lawyers. When you see that 97 percent of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democratic Party, then you may realize why our medical and product costs keep going higher and higher.
