Just out of curiosity, where did you come up with the idea most lawyers are democrats?

I'm not disputing, I've never seen any numbers. Personally, I just assumed most were republican. Overwhelming majority of elected attorneys I know (or those who have ran for office) were Republicans. 


Wage disparity is the biggest issue nobody is talking about. In the 1940s if both spouses were earning close to the same amount (as they are now), they would be very well off. Now, we've shifted what our workforce looks like and two people may not even be able to pay their bills off minimum wage.

Every lawyer in this area (including the lawyers that worked on my cases) are very die-hard Democrats.

A simple internet search will show pages like this one:

Quote: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.

Kind of sums up the two parties to me:  Republicans want to build a foundation and a country where everyone can join-in and benefit, whereas Democrats are more worried about making sure everyone gets a share without having to work for it.
