If Edwards is a trial lawyer what is Bush?
Has any candidate for any office ever been so identified by what he used to do before entering politics? I do listen to the right wing wackos on talk radio, just to hear what these guys are saying. I can usually do it without getting angry, something that many cannot do. Not any more. We are in for four months of non-stop 24/7 Kerry-Edwards bashing and it is and will be utterly sickening.

When a very inexperienced and clearly unqualifed Bush was running for President how many discussed what he did before entering politics? Was he called "a failed business man who ruined just about every company he was involved with and whose only success came because of his family name, his father, and insider dealings?" Hardly.

7. Edwards = Trial Lawyer Bush = Lie Trawler
He just sticks another one on the hook and tosses it over the side, confident that someone's going to bite.

8. I Love How They Keep Smearing Kerry
With what he used to do before entering politics.

John Edwards is a "friend to the special interest trial lawyers" (so they keep saying).

John Kerry must then be a "friend to the special interest Navy Lieutenants".

9. I find this whole trial lawyer thing quite amusing!
Sure there are many different specialties in the law profession, but isn't it interesting that almost EVERY Senator & Representative is a lawyer of some kind?

Personal injury lawyers got a bit more publicity than Corporate, Defense, or Prosecuting ones, but there are good & bad in each catagory.

I think the worst specialty of all are the few that specialize in Class Action.

The one thing EVERYBODY would agree with is that if you get in trouble, no matter who you are, how rich or poor, guilty or innocent, the first person you want to talk to in a good attorney!

The Pubs know that better than anyone. They have the most experience!
