There you are completely and totally incorrect. Trial lawyers are not good for the consumer.
Trial lawyers drive up the cost of goods and services. That is anti-consumer. They say that what they do is for the good of the consumer, that their actions protect the consumer. And you may even believe this - although I will tell you I have not run into anyone this gullible in a very, very long time.
To state the quite obvious, trial lawyers are pro trial lawyers.
Actually, "consumer attorney" is a pretty good name for what Edwards and others like him are.
(Sure wish I knew how to insert that great BS METER graphic here. Man the lifeboats!) Consumer attorney. That's using the rhetorical putty knife when applying makeup on this pig.
Dubya is one of the worst presidents we have ever had in terms of working for the people.
Ahh the partisan glory days, when the most significant mark a disgraceful ex-President left on America was his DNA evidence upon a White House intern's dress; the result of his inappropriate supervisor/employee relationship.
Cyrofan3, perhaps were you frozen in suspended animation during the gay 90s. :)
Did the "Clinton death tax" drive the American family farmer out of business, favoring the corporate farmer? The corporation never dies, but people do.
Did NAFTA happens? Good thing some draft dodging, womanizing, perjurer did his best to protect the Nation's quilted moving pad industry from relocating to Mexico. That vital moving pad industry sure protects plenty of high paying American jobs.
Who could forget as a dogpatch lawyer laughingly bragged to a tax accountants trade group, whom he addressed for a fee, (and equally respectable as trial lawyer ilk) that as the President, he actually raised taxes too much! And the same convicted felon still claims that the most ethical administration in American history only raised taxes on the rich? Working four jobs to afford private grade school and high school tuition for my kids, that makes me rich. Shazzam! Thanks for making me rich slick willie! (Can I get a book deal advance too?)
I will vote for anyone (even Sharpton) before I will vote for Bush.
Outcome based education works! Thats good, announced support for a race baiting poverty pimp as a choice for US President demonstrates both a lack of critical thinking skills and moral courage.
I hereby declare the beginning of the ABB (Anybody But Bush) campaign....
While I actively campaigned on behalf of a Bush presidential campaign opponent, W earned my respect, the first President since Ronald Reagan to do so. IMHO cyro, the ABB train left the station. The ABB jihad was declared November 2000.
My fear is that Edwards, or any Democrat, will beat GWB if the economy is still in the tank come Q2 2004. Wartime or not, integrity, service, whatever, the election of '92 showed that the sheeple are willing to kick anyone out if they think their material wealth is poorer because the President (whoever it is) "doesn't care" about them.
It should be obvious to everyone on FR that this is exactly what Edwards and the Rats will attempt to do. They learned from '92 that pocketbook issues always carry the day. Any grousing about trial-lawyer ambulance-chaser Edwards will be drowned out by the Rats and media's drumbeat about a detached, uncaring President Bush (so they will say) "letting" the economy stay in the dumper will he pursues foreign adventures. Its crap, I know, but nobody ever went broke betting against the stupidity of the average voter nowadays.
George W. Bush had a great deal of management experience before he was governor. Note also that Bush had been re-elected once in Texas. Edwards has never had to stand for re-election and one could easily argue that he is running for president for the express purpose of avoiding doing so.
I'd like to see that list, please.
Where could we get that LIST of Edwards' visits to all 100 NC counties? I'd really like to nail this very possible LIE.
