We know why big business contributes to Bush. Why are lawyers so infatuated with Kerry?

To address Murphey's question:
Lawyers have a vested financial interest in seeing BushCo out of office since one of the pieces of their Master Plan to Remove the Rights of American Citizens is to limit a citizen's ability to sue when harmed.
An attorney from Ohio put it best in a recent op/ed that I've posted below.

I was wondering why the Republicans believe that hearing a four-letter word on the radio is more damaging than death or catastrophic injury. Consider that the Bush administration wants to increase FCC fines for indecency up to $500,000 per violation per station, yet at the same time, it wants to restrict noneconomic damages in tort cases to $250,000 or $350,000.
So if a DJ says a four-letter word on the radio, the harm is so appalling that a fine of $500,000 per word, per station is justified. But if someone is paralyzed, killed or otherwise catastrophically injured, the most the family could get for the (noneconomic) loss would be up to $350,000.
Apparently, Republicans have reworked the children's adage about words never hurting to: "Sticks and stones may break someone else's bones, but words will hurt me worsely."
