Speaking of sheep... It's not about social causes, it's about power. Both sides suck. Wake up.

Like the billionaire cares about anything other than how much more he can make by influencing the laws concerning insurance. Just as AARP lobbied for the health care bill, cause now millions more have to get coverage that AARP can sell to them. Elderly people have been screwed by AARP during this debacle!
As insurance coverage dwindles to few providers or only government plans, costs or coverage will necessarily change for the worse. Competition is the only way to reduce costs or provide coverage.
Just what are these progressives progressing towards anyway? Social Justice is code for "if we don't like something government will punish someone for it".

Yes both side have given us this problem. But it is our own fault for not paying attention. Now, when we do get involved, we hear the screams about upseting the apple cart. The Tea Party is not the villain! What is wrong about wanting to make DC change direction? The whole idea is for DC to listen to "The People". The founders had it right, the People know instintively what is the right thing to do. And when "we" get it wrong "we" have the right to correct it.

I paid 38 a month with progressive and am now paying 27 a month with geico for the same gig. I looked to switch because of the whole ACLU deal and actually expected to pay more, but didn't. I guess I got lucky.

I'm also a monthly supporter of the NRA (thank you Army for the CFC each year). I can't stomach "knowingly" supporting (financially or otherwise) values that I am not aligned with.

I'm sure somewhere, somehow, my hard-earned pennies end up in the hands of my enemies. But like I said, it's all about me being in the know. I don't do a lot of research, but if I find out then I start making changes to where I put my $.

All the left did was bitch for 8 years. Funny thing is things are worse, yet they still blame Bush and he's been gone for two years. One more thing, the housing market is Barney Franks debacle. Remember that?
