Republicans hate who the party tells them to hate and there is a long list.
Having worked with a male Barrister and watched him in Court I would say women, they can argue a point better for one thing and seem to have better memories for facts.
The hidden secret of politics.
The largest special interest group in america are the trial lawyers.
trial lawyers gave 236 million dollars in campaign contributions in 2008.
80% of that money went to members of the Democratic Party.
Trial lawyers, gave more campaign money, than the next 10 largest special interest groups combined.
Compare :
Big Oil - 23 million 60% republican , 40% democrat
Drug Companies - 26 million 55% republican . 45% democrat
Insurance industry - 25 million 51% democrat, 49% republican.
But you have liberals, who go oh no, the insurance industry gave republicans 12 million dollars last year.
And completely forget about the 200 million trial lawyers gave democrats.
The link below, list all major industries and how much and to who they donated campaign money to.
Legendary attorney Edward Bennet Williams was arguably the best trial lawyer ever to practice. Now, for the first time, best-selling author Evan Thomas takes us into the courtrooms of William s greatest performances as he defends Godfather Frank Costello, Jimmy Hoffa, Frank Sinatra, The Washington Post, and others, as well as behind the scenes where the witnesses are coached, the traps set, and the deals cut. In addition to being a lawyer of unprecedented influence, Williams was also an important Washington insider, privy to the secrets of America s most powerful men. Thomas tells the truth behind the stories that made Williams one of the most talked about public figures of his time, including Williams role in the publication of the Pentagon Papers and the possibility that Williams may have been Watergate s Deep Throat. Based on Thomas s exclusive access to Williams s papers, The Man to See is an unprecedented look at the strategies and influence of this exceptional man.
Howard Dean said the reason there was no tort reform in the ObamaCare bill was because they were afraid to anger the trial lawyers who drive up medical costs with endless lawsuits against doctors, hospitals, device makers, drug makers, etc.

This was a amazing. A Democrat told the truth for once… Amazing. Howard Dean basically stated why their is no Tort Reform which will save 60 to 200 billion dollars yet its not in the bill. Maybe its because the lawyers have teh democrat party bought off? Or maybe because Obummer was a lawyer.

So if Trial Lawyers, Inc.’s suits against doctors are wide-ranging, and often meritless, just how much do they cost? By 2003, medical-malpractice liability costs in the United States had reached an astounding $26 billion annually.
With a tax-payer fu8nded system this means two things:
1. Lawyers will now have access to an unlimited pot of money (yours and mine)
2. We’ll be buying their mansions and luxury cars and trophy wives for scum lawyers like John Edwards, who bought his big house by taking it from honest doctors doing their best…
Even Democrat suporters of Obama who think the idea is good need to wake up and understand who is really pulling the strings. The sales pitch of "helping the little guy" is being used as a "get filthy rich" scheme by connected Trial Lawyers—do you remember how rich Trial Lawyers connected to Clinton got when he alterred the Jutice Department treatment of Tobacco at trial lawyers request to open up a legal fleecing of the Tobacco industry.
Well the Tobacco Industry might not have been as sympathetic as your family doctor.
No. Healthcare as it is will though.
FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.
That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage.
Constantly, we hear every liberal and socialist leader (as if there is a difference) spouting and ranting about the high cost of health care.
Yet, the democratic party and their ideology has created the environment for ambulance chasing trial lawyers to besiege our health care industry. Liberals have caused the USA to be the only country in the world that doesn’t follow the "English rule of law", where the loser of the law suit pays the costs and damage to the victorious party. So, trial lawyers advertise to poor people and desperate people to file frivolous law suits and ask for "lottery level" payouts.
The trial lawyer takes 30% - 40% of the booty. Guess who pays for this, of course its the consumer. That’s why health professionals and groups have excessive charges for malpractice insurance and force people to have needless procedures, tests and operations.
Yet the group who complains the most about health care costs and the need to nationalize it are the same people who allow these cretins (trial lawyers) to wage war on the medical and drug community.
Liberals always blame corporations- drug companies and insurance companies- who act the way do because of the litigous environment, liberals have forced onto America.
No other country in the world has this insane policy but the USA; is it a surprise, only in America are the courts backed up, with tons of frivolous law suits?
Will Obama stop these trial lawyers from destroying our society or is his goal to nationalize health care, to move us closer to a completely socialistic society?
Mike- There is a reason the USA is by far, the MOST litigous country in the world; we are the only country who allow someone to file a frivolous law suit and walk away when they lose, not compensating the injured party, to pay for their expense defending the law suit.
No insurance co, drug co or health worker are perfect, yes they, we, all make mistakes, there needs to be limits on these crazy awards. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be able to sue to get compensated for being hurt- BUT we need caps on these crazy jury awards and also follow "English law" to stop the frivolous lawsuits.; do you agree?
No. The "plaintiff’s bar" has the Democrats in its pocket, and the situation will get worse, not better.
