Howard Dean in To Save America, by Newt Gingrich


On Health Care: 2009: Trial lawyers kept tort reform out of ObamaCare

Why do Democrats oppose tort reform? Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean answered that candidly at an August 2009 townhall meeting. "The reason why tort reform is not in the bill is because the people who wrote it did not want to take on the trial lawyers in addition to everybody else they were taking on, and that is the plain and simple truth."

He's right. Why would the Left take on trial lawyers, a key part of the secular-socialist machine? According to Federal Election Commission data, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (now deceptively called the "American Association for Justice") has contributed more than $28 million to Democratic candidates since 1990- and less than $3 million to Republicans.
