i feel so dirty

Martha Coakley is a dumb bitch, and she's a lawyer. Those people are such good liars... ITS PATHOLOGICAL

In 1995 lawyers constituted 43% of the total seats in the house and senate. I don't think it's so crazy to have the people who pass the laws be lawyers. What I don't like are lobbyists.

I know it's a 15 year old figure, but it's difficult to find up-to-date info on segment breakdowns within congress.

EDIT -- today it's 36% or 162 out of 441

Oh I know about the congress seats are taken majority by lawyers. Hell Kennedy was a lawyer.
She was walking with *suspense music* CEOs of health care companies!!!! This woman would be the ultimate lobbyist it's sickening.

On a side note I'm kind-of weirded out by the fact that this discussion hasn't degraded into ad homonym attacks.

Good job, Loka.

well, seeing as how i don't have a say in the matter, i don't much care. if whichever person who gets elected will block the healthcare reform bill, then wooHoo! if not, i don't see america ending all that soon. we got through carter we can get through obama.

might get fucked up during it, but we'll survive.
