Trial Lawyers prepare for war with Rick Perry

As Govenor of Texas, Rick Perry signed into law a tort-reform bill designed to eliminate frivolous lawsuits in Texas.  And no one hates Rick Perry more in Texas than trial lawyers. Now Perry is bringing the long overdue issue of tort reform into the national spotlight.

Trial Lawyers are not taking this lying down, they are mobilizing into a national phalanx of pro-Obama bundlers and super PAC donors with the sole intention of defeating Rick Perry in 2012 and taking Tort Reform off the National agenda.


 Trial lawyers from Texas are taking the lead in organizing "National Super PACS" to take on Perry.

America’s trial lawyers are getting ready to make the case against one of their biggest targets in years: Texas Gov. Rick Perry.Among litigators, there is no presidential candidate who inspires the same level of hatred — and fear — as Perry, an avowed opponent of the plaintiffs’ bar who has presided over several rounds of tort reform as governor.And if Perry ends up as the Republican nominee for president, deep-pocketed trial lawyers intend to play a central role in the campaign to defeat him.

That’s a potential financial boon to a president who has unsettled trial lawyers with his own rhetorical gestures in the direction of tort reform. A general election pitting Barack Obama and Perry could turn otherwise apathetic trial lawyers into a phalanx of pro-Obama bundlers and super PAC donors.

Democratic Houston trial lawyer Steve Mostyn — who, along with his wife, Amber, donated nearly $9 million to Texas candidates and party committees in the 2010 cycle — said he’s in the process of forming “some federal PACs” to take on Perry. That will likely include a federal super PAC that could take in the kind of massive donations that are permitted in Texas.Mostyn said his political spending wouldn’t just center on the trial lawyers’ agenda.

Obama shuts door on the discussion about Tort Reform

Obama was recently booed the annual meeting of the American Medical Association in Chicago. He was booed by an audience that included America's leading medical experts for declaring he was "not advocating caps on malpractice awards. Medical experts know what Obama refuses to discuss. It costs a great deal of money, and a greater an amount of valuable time, for a medical practitioner to protect himself or herself against malpractice lawsuits. Some estimates run as high as $100 billion a year .

Obama has called the cost of health care "a threat to our economy" and "a ticking time-bomb." so it seems strange that he declares “off limits “one of the obvious solutions to lowering health care costs. Obama continues to pay lip service to being "willing to listen" and we "need to explore a range of ideas" Could this have something to do with the fact that the tort bar has been the largest single contributor to the Democratic Party in recent years?

Obama and Democrats continue to simply slam the door on any discussion on a wide range of issues they consider sacrosanct such as ; medicare, social security, welfare reform , entitlement spending, as well as tort reform that. While masquerading under the guise of  watching out of the middle class and poor, Obama Democrats actually continue to feed the coffers of bankers, and lawyers at the expense of the taxpayer. No one has suffered more from Obama's failed economic policies, or lack of than the poor and the middle class.

Just the mere mention of any of these issues by a Republican in relation to the credit crisis or the national debt brings out the fear mongers on the left, but no discussion of the issues.

Please consider the article below from Politico, casting Perry as "Dangerous" for America.

Rick Perry “Dangerous” potentially “devastating” for America.

“Rick Perry thinks that Medicare and Social Security are unconstitutional — he wrote it in his book. When the health care debate was heating up, he raised the specter of secession. And when asked about the chairman of the Federal Reserve, he used the word "treasonous."
While fair-minded Americans may view these moments as dangerous flashes illustrating the kind of man Rick Perry is, a plurality of Republican primary voters view him as their choice to be the nominee. …

Perry’s very loose and dangerous use of the term "treason" is something that brought him criticism from many corners — just not Republican primary voters.

Voters who are disturbed by ending Medicare, what it means when a major governor threatens secession in the 21st century, and what it means for a major national figure to throw around terms like "treason" should be just as worried about this Republican Party as they are about Texas Governor Rick Perry.”

The fear mongering continues, and important issues such as ; welfare reform, entitlement spending, medicare, social security, and tort reform remain off the table for discussion. Meanwhile Obama continues to apply "word fixes" to our  our problems while doing nothing.

Thanks Governor Rick Perry  we are, for the first time, able to use “Ponzi scheme” to describe Medicare and Medicaid. Malpractice Insurance  costs are major cost of health care, frivolous lawsuits drive up the costs for all of us. If Obama and The Democrats were serious about addressing the cost of health care they would be seriously talking about setting reasonable limits on frivolous lawsuits and trying to rein in the high cost associated with health care.


Rick Perry  "Dangerous" for America ? I cannot imagine anyone more dangerous for America  than the third rate community organizer that has taken over our government and surrounded himself with fourth and fith rate talent.

Maybe  Perry will be the one to lead us out of Governance by  INCOMPETENCE  - CORRUPTION - PATRONAGE  and  REGULATIONS and back to Governance for the people by the people.
