    More Lawyers In The White House?

    Think more sharks in the White House is change? Think more sharks in Congress represents hope for America? Think more sharks really care about you?

    Let's look at the professions of the major candidates:
    • Senator Barack Obama: Attorney, Politician
    • Senator Joseph Biden: Attorney, Politician
    • Senator John McCain: Navy, Politician
    • Gov. Sarah Palin: Journalist, Politician
    FACTS:
    • Democrat Presidential: Obama/Biden = same old shark attorneys in DC

    • Republican Presidential: McCain/Palin = NO ATTORNEYS - real change!
    American citizens have been screwed long enough by attorneys in Washington DC. These slimeballs know how to manipulate the laws, create laws that favor them and their attorney friends, skirt the laws to their favor, and screw us in the end. The lawyers get rich while we get nowhere.

    Lawyers are an elitist group - even the potential First Lady, Michelle Obama, is an elitist lawyer. Remember she wasn't proud of America until there was something in it for her. This is the nature of lawyers.

    Remember Barack claiming to care for the black poor with one side of his mouth then with the other side, defending a slum lord? That's what lawyers do. It is what defines him.


    The only change I can see is NOT VOTING MORE LAWYERS INTO THE WHITEHOUSE or any other government position.
    Let's get back to politicians representing the people, not the lawyers representing special interest groups and their past & future clients.
    Those representing America should fit a profile like most of America - and most of America are NOT LAWYERS!

    More Liberal scumbag lawyers trying to get/stay into Congress:
    • Kay R. Hagan (NC) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • Jeff Merkley (OR) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • Dick Durbin (IL) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • Tom Harkin (IA) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • John Kerry (MA) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • Carl Levin (MI) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • Max Baucus (MONT) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • Jack Reed (RI) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER
    • Tim Johnson (SD) - ACLU card carrying LAWYER

    Sharks And The Patriot Act


    Linda Whitehurst survived her attacker - a white pointer shark - near Byron Bach Australia. Over on the Sunshine Coast of Australia they boast of no shark attacks for more than four decades - but the people know they are there - lurking.
    Eighty-seven of the silent predators were caught off our beaches last year, including great whites, tiger sharks and bronze whalers. … "Great Whites prefer the cooler water and once it reaches around 22 or 23 degrees, it is very rare to come across them."
    Officials charged with the protection of the citizens are aware of the dangers and how to identify impending attacks. They have strong profiles of all types of sharks, and what they have in common is: they are all sharks of one type or another. They know where and when they are most likely to swim, which pose the greatest threat, which are likely to be alone and which in groups. The profile the sharks.

    The common factor: they are all sharks. They don't spend their resources watching out for sea turtles, bass, goatfish, mados, smelt, archerfish, etc. The greatest threat is from sharks - not from other sea life.

    The alleged purpose of the Patriot Act was to strengthen the ability of the USA to protect the citizens. At first, I was all in favor of this legislation. It sounded good - catch the enemy communicating their next attack plans and stop them in their tracks. Both Democrats and Republicans enacted this and both a handful of Democrats and Republicans opposed it. The concept was limited to domestic - foreign communications.

    When Democrats got control of congress and passed more intrusive government legislation that included solely domestic eavesdropping I began to be suspicious. I had to take several steps back to grasp the big picture - why was big government getting even bigger in the domestic snooping arena?

    Is the Patriot Act really needed?

    What does the Patriot Act really do?

    Have Americans been blind-sided? Deceived?

    How does the Patriot Act parallel watching for sharks - or does it?

    Answers tomorrow.
