Letters to the Editor

Democrats now party of the lawyers

March 7, 2010

To the editor: The Democrat Party has become the lawyers’ party. Barack Obama is a lawyer. Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer. 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 leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer. The Republican Party is different. President Bush is a businessman. Vice President Cheney is a businessman. Look at the leaders of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist. 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. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.
