It would be very, very horrifying to Trial Lawyers if Bush were Elected

More than 4 years later, we are still frightened by "Trial Lawyers". What happened. The last 4 years was supposed to snuff this menace out?

A little thing called the war on terror got in the way..
let's see what happens in the next 4.

"I will do whatever necessary to see that candidates who espouse the position that Bush does are defeated at the polls," said Mr. Angelos, also the owner of the Baltimore Orioles.

Hmmm I don't think I will be supporting the Orioles

"It would be very, very horrifying to trial lawyers if Bush were elected,"

That, in and of itself, is a good enough reason to re-elect GW!

As a lawyer, and formerly a trial lawyer, I know first hand that such lawyers are the sand in the gears of the American economy. If you want more shysters and less economic growth, then support the trial lawyer ticket of Kerry & Edwards. If you want a stronger economy and a more honest society, support Bush & Cheney.

If the Times were an honest newspaper, rather than a bigoted shill for the Democrat Party, the Times would research the thousands of election law felonies committed by employees and friends of trial lawyers to pump illegal money into the Edwards campaign. It's a major story that will never see the front page of the Times.

BTW, "John P. Coale, trial lawyer" who has the closing quote in the article, is a personal injury lawyer whom I know. He's a world class ambulance chaser, and his wife is Greta Susstren. Not many folks know that. F.Y.I.

Now I'm glad they dropped our local Red Wings as their farm team. The Twins treat us great compared to that socialist guys team.

[onevoter]

Mainly, too many Democrats in the House and Senate have gotten in the way - it's time to clean house!

Your tag line is THE BEST: "Tax Man and Tort Boy..remolding America in their image"

It is terrifying if these two evil, dangerous shysters were to gain power. War or no war, they are total menaces to our freedom.

Trial Lawyers Pour Money Into Democrats' Chests ow that they have triumphed over the tobacco industry, trial lawyers have found a new target, Gov. George W. Bush, and they have been spending huge amounts of money from the tobacco settlement to keep him and other Republicans from being elected.

Need I remind anyone that the Tobacco Settlement money is being paid for 110% by smokers who pay taxes on cigarettes?  Not Big Tobacco and NOT the government.  But the cigarette tax payers.

Pretty nice, eh?!

How are the attorney's getting their grimy hands on this money, anyway!

 

[Mears]

This really makes me mad,my money going to the Dems.

[Gabz]

Nope - I'm not going to say anything - I like being able to post here!!!!!!

[SheLion]

This really makes me mad,my money going to the Dems.

Tell me about it!

I want to find out HOW they are getting their grimy hands on this money! This money goes to the states, so evidentially, some official in the states are feeding this money to the trial lawyers. Something very fishy here.

[evad]

That, in and of itself, is a good enough reason to re-elect GW!

Yes indeed..
but they've got a lot of resources and hopes tied to ButtBoy and TreasonMan so don't be surprised at any low trick they pull to accomplish their goal.

Okay -- just be picky this morning -- but this is not a small issue.

The use of the phrase "trial lawyer" is NOT synonymous with "Plaintiff's trial lawyer" or "Plaintiff's Lawyer."

Every civil trial has at least two sets of lawyers, the Plaintiff's counsel and the defendant's counsel. Both sets are trial lawyers. Every case mass tort, ambulance chasing bs case about which many folks here complain, have trial lawyers on the other side DEFENDING the case.

As a trial lawyer, who represents fortune 500 companies, I will be delighted to see the President reelected. In fact, many of my trial lawyer colleagues working in the Defense bar will be very happy to see President Bush reelected. Tort reform helps us, and it helps our clients.

[EggsAckley]

Thank you for clarifying that point. I knew it needed to be said, but couldn't express as expertly as you.

Lyon, Cheatham, and Steele. Dewey, Cheathan, and Howe.

I am more thankful every day that I have been rolling my own cigarettes for over four years. At least these attorney's aren't sending MY cigarette tax dollars to the RATS.

This is totally nauseating.

Then the RATS wonder why we think they are so dirty and devious.  Well, we find out about their filthy tactics and there is no doubt in my mind just how devious they are!  What a bunch!
