Do YOU think trial lawyers are "good people" with YOUR best interests in mind?

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Maybe / I don't know.


Please vote and I will explain the reason for the question/poll.

This has EVERYTHING to do with the 2008 election.

I will leave this poll open for 3 days and then we will delve into the discussion of how trial lawyers are affecting the 2008 election.

I'm guessing you made this because Obama was an attorney?

I'd rather vote for a trial lawyer than a 72 old man who's inches away from being diagnosed with PTSD.

No. I am asking because some people like lawyers, majority of people despise trial lawyers, and almost no one knows that B. Hussein and Michelle Obama and Joe Biden are all rich trial lawyers.

That is the greatest story untold. NO surprise, since the media is protecting Obama.

Yeah, the PTSD did not manifest for the last 30+ years and now it just started to act up, huh??

Care for some more Kool-Aid?

You just contradicted yourself. I'm not doing it because Obama was a lawyer but because Obama was a lawyer.
