It is often used as an insult to disparage others who really don’t deserve the title. The true empty suit, which conjures up the image of a</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">business</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">suit of clothing without a person, really doesn’t know what he or she is doing.

Editorials on politicians love to use the term empty suit to describe people seeking presidential office. This or that politician is just “an empty suit,” to quote the words of numerous political critics, and is thus undeserving of our attention.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Some politicians do deserve the title. A senator with a very poor voting record, or failure to attend senate sessions could clearly be called an empty suit because he is not really performing the job for which he was elected. On the other hand, some politicians may advertise themselves as “not just an empty suit” in order to distinguish themselves from their implied empty suit peers.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Tracing the word origin of empty suit is a difficult one.

First the cat attacks the mouse and gets it to freeze in fear, then the cat turns its back and appears to walk away, apparently no longer interested. Quickly the cat turns when its keen hearing tells it that the mouse has recovered somewhat and tries to slink away to safety and again savages the mouse, paralyzing it again with fear. Sometimes the cat may play with the mouse, carrying it in its teeth then dropping it and walking away or turning its attention to an interesting leaf or something else in the area. This process can go on over a rather long time. But each time the mouse recovers from its fear and tries to get away, the cat again pounces on the mouse. Finally, tiring of the game, the cat kills the mouse.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Barak Obama, Nancy Pelosi and their ilk are playing cat and mouse with the American public with the insidious agenda they put forth during the election.

Thomas Jefferson wrote while deliberating on the wording of the Declaration of Independence in 1776: "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes... But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is [the people's] right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Regarding resistance to government, </span></span><st1:place st="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Jefferson</span></span></st1:place><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"> also wrote the following in two letters to contemporaries:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <pre><span style=" ;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" —Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></pre><pre><span style=" ;color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all." —Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></pre> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">He warned us:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <pre><span style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">"Aristocrats fear the people, and wish to transfer all power to the higher classes of society." —Thomas Jefferson to William Short, 1825.

They feel everything that is happening to them. There is more mercy for dogs that are put to sleep) This Bill also will make it mandatory for doctors and nurses to perform this murderous act even if they do not want to do so. This act also allows under age teens to have an abortion, even partial birth abortions, without parental consent. <br /> Catholic Bishops have pleaded with Obama not to go ahead with this horrible murder of innocent babies. They have also told Obama that if he persists in signing this Bill which would require even Catholic Hospitals to perform these acts of murder, they will have no choice but to close all Catholic Hospitals. Please let us join with these courageous Bishops who will go to any length to change Obama's mind. Please take a minute to sign this statement and let our voices be heard. <br /> This is a great, informative website. You can click on the video of Obama's speech to the Planned Parenthood group where he promised that the first thing he would do if elected President would be to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act. He isn't even in the White House yet and he made a statement last night that he will go forward with his plans to sign this outrageous bill. He still can change his mind because the Bill cannot be signed until he is actually the President.<br /> Please let your family and friends know about this Bill and ask them to also sign this petition.
