Baron, Edwards, and the rest of those associated with the trial lawyers’ lobby. Time to direct the spotlight on them for their roles in hindering the economy and the health care industry.

What frauds.

Exactly!

Item: because of excessive jury awards to widows whose husbands had flown their planes INTO thunderstorms, Cessna ceased production of single-engine aircraft for many years, and Piper went bankrupt. Congress had to pass a special law to put a ceiling on the value of the life of a stupid pilot.

Item: the ratio of lawyers/citizen in the United states is 70 times that of Japan.

Item: Lawyers (Congress) make IRS law so huge and complicated that IRS doesn’t understand it and will not provide answers, or stand behind any answer they do provide.

Solution: turn 90% of law schools into factories that actually PRODUCE something.

That is exactly what I am talking about.

At the least, without Baron, Democrats may have known from the beginning what kind of man John Edwards was a year or more earlier, and it could have saved contributors millions of dollars of the hard-earned money the sent the former VP nominee.

This story was first reported in December 2007. While Democrat contributors may not have heard this, surely Obama heard the rumors. [I know I heard them, and I wasn't considering him as my running mate or as attorney general :)] Assuming he heard, was he naive enough to take Edwards or Baron’s word on this, without fully vetting the facts on Edwards?

If taking their word for it is the explanation, what does that say about his famous judgment, particularly when the story involving Andrew Young was (is) just not credible?

His VIP treatment should give these contributors, a few of whom wanted to sue Edwards to get their money back, a good idea of their value to DSCC chair Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democratic leadership.

If those Dim contributors were too stupid to understand the true nature of people like Edwards and Schumer, they probably deserved to have their hard-earned money squandered on a whore.

You soooooooooo hit that nail right on the head!

And, all the while the dems are publicly hand wringing about the influence of fat-cat moneymen, lobbyist, and corporations…What a bunch of hypocrites!

Anyway, off topic a bit…How’d y’all like the closed delegate vote thing yesterday? It was a political version of the union card check!!!

A preview of trhings to come if Gaius Obamus is elected crowned…

What? Fred Baron?

I thought the chief moneyman for the Democrats was their True Lord and Master, Darth Soros!

The Bond villain is their “Mr. Outside” funding their 527s. Baron is their “Mr. Inside” directly buying candidates and people who can damage his boys. One is like Joe Kennedy the other like a KGB illegal agent funding the 80′s nuke protestors.

What frauds.

That’s not all! I wrote this the other day:

“Although former Presidential Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards won’t be at the convention for obvious reasons, the guy who kept the press at bay long enough for Edwards to fool America is now working for Biden to handle his press.”

From Fox News:

Even though Edwards is not coming to the Democratic National Convention here in Denver, it’s not like he’s been completely forgotten. His closest associate from his campaign, Sam Myers Sr., is now said to be working with the Biden for Vice President campaign. Myers, they say, has been assigned to handle press traveling with Biden on his campaign plane.

“If anyone knows what happened with John Edwards, it’s Sam Myers,” says an insider. “He never left John’s side during the campaign.” The source continues: “I’m amazed he’s with Biden. Sam is a mean guy, real pit bull, very unlike the Obama people.”
