On Saturday mornings I often listen to a radio program called "Crashtalk". It's a great program because its host, Mike Harber, REALLY provides LOTs of valuable CONSUMER-DRIVEN information about the inner workings of the auto-repair business and EXPOSES the dishonesty of the auto-insurance industry. In fact, I have sent him two clients because I believe he is really doing a great job of not only repairing vehicles but also in helping people NOT get "had" by their own insurance company.
Recently, however, I have begun hearing many calls from one of Mike's SUPPORTERS, "Bob in San Diego," who RAILS against President Obama; openly proud of being a "Tea Bagger". Now, get this dichotomy: Bob seems to be trying to support auto-insurance industry reforms while doing all he can to discredit Obama and promote Glenn Beck!
What Bob (and perhaps Mike) have so far been unable to recognize is the fact that the dishonest and abusive auto-insurance industry ...that they both fight against ...is just one part of the multi-fasceted, corporate-driven, destruction of the very principles of honesty and fairness that they both say they support. AND, despite the shortcomings of Obama and the "Democrats" if the "Republicans" are able to continue deceiving the "Tea Baggers" and other well-meaning people, very soon Bob AND Mike will find their work outlawed. They will be put out of business. Just as Keith Olberman describes in the posting below "THIS ... Is Our Future". Please view it in entirety.
The "Republicans" have stirred up a tremendous amount of anger (that should be directed at themselves) ... in fact creating the "Tea Bag" movement ... and have somehow been able to divert that anger into an attack on Obama and his "SPENDING" .... yet watch their hypocracy: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#35322522
Here are 111 Republicans who voted against Obama's stimulus but now take credit for it ... http://thinkprogress.org/touting-recovery-opposed/

About Me
- LanceM
- I am a person who was raised as a full-fledged "Republican"... in fact, I named my middle son (now age 29) 'Reagan'. But, within 3 years of that I began to wake up to the misrepresentations then lies and later the criminal behavior of "my" party. Eventually, I felt I had to do something to help. These 'blogs' are that attempt.
