Well? State Farm is getting a bit pricey since I'm not eligible for good studnet anymore. My car is 17 years old, so I only carry liability. I won't try to get them to fix dings and scratches. The only time they'll hear from me is if I cause a wreck. Are they GTG? GEICO was higher than State Farm. Anybody else I could look into? USAA is out since I'm not military and my parents aren't members.
FWIW, I'm 22, licensed since 18. No at fault accidents, one not at fault in '06. Car is a 92 Escort. I carry 100,300,100. Thanks. |

From ARFCOM I have learned that: 1. Progressive lives up to their name –– ie, they support liberal causes. 2. Their spokeschick is considered to be quite hittable by most here.  This^......I bought insurance for my Harley, and Progressive was a little cheaper, but I went with Foremost because I would rather my money NOT support liberal causes. Fuck them. |
|
I used to have them and when a drunk backed up into my driver's side door in a parking lot and crumpled it, then fled the scene to avoid being arrested for DWI, their customer service was top notch in helping me get my door replaced.
I was not aware they are flaming libtards. I don't use them anymore. |

Will not consider them because of how liberal they are. It's like paying George Soros for insurance. This get posted often with several products.....so here's the question. Have you located a insurance company that is conservative and supports gun rights? Or, did you hear something bad about company "x" and therefor choose company "y" because you haven't heard anything about company "y"? |

We have progressive. Customer service is top notch, and it was light years cheaper than state farm, our previous insurance. Luckily haven't filed a claim yet (knocks on wood) so I can't comment on how that goes. I filed some claims, had a nasty arguement with one of thier adjusters who said I need to take off work to meet her. Was supposed to ger windshield chiprepaired after 3+ weeks of dragassing it becomes a huge crack, and I get stuck paying for replacement deductible |

They suck. They are expensive. They are terrible when it comes to a claim. My wife had someone back into our truck. Our adjuster wasn't going to fight to get the other party to pay it all, said she was somewhat at fault for being there. The other company did all the work and just paid for everything, said their driver was to blame and payed up. So I don't have a very high opinion of their price and/or service.
ETA: I use Liberty Mutual right now, very decent price. |

Quoted:
They support liberal causes. Gun control, etc. I won't give them a single dime of my money –– no matter how hittable their spokeschick is or how cheap their insurance is. Why support the enemy? Is there a company that doesn't? Who have you found that is out there supporting our gun rights? I want to switch.... |

Progressive is a big supporter of Liberal politicians. They will never see a penny of my money. Curious. Do you look into the politics of every single company president of every single product you buy? How about for the subcontractors? Hell, it would take a year just to research the thousands of presidents of every company involved in building a car. Where do you personally draw the line on this type of "voting with your wallet?" |

Wow, if you are sticking up for them they must REALLY suck! Not sticking up for them at all. I did a quick google search to find the president is a lib. In my book, BFD. I fully support others voting with their wallet. I just want to try and understand where people draw the line. Someone who is obsessive about it could spend the rest of his life going on a witch hunt for lib company presidents. |

No, but theres a big difference between a company that is indifferent to politics or a liberal one that doesn't give money to liberal causes, and a company and its executive who are bonafide liberals and who take a portion of your money and give it to causes that are polar opposite of what you believe in. I don't look into every single company I buy from, but when you hear of this inforrmation and it turns out to be true, then you vote your wallet. |
. They have a love affair with cheap a/m sheet metal.

I tried them once. Lasted less than two months before I told them to fuck off. It was over a homeowner discount on auto insurance (since they don't insure homes). I sent them everything they asked for and they kept asking for more. They'll never get any more $ from me. And Peter Lewis bought his way out of a drug smuggling charge in New Zealand. ( Some people are more equal than others). |

He's a lifetime NRA member (and proudly displays a plaque outside his personal office that says so). In discussions with him, he notes that State Farm has many members of it's senior corporate management, agents and board of directors who are pro-gun, conservative. I'll take a company that is ambivalent politically over one that is openly anti-gun and anti-just-about-anything-that-I-hold-dear. Get to know your agent. If you're like Alaska, you'll see who he or she writes political checks to. |

They're only for military so I get a bitchin discount while I'd pay $200 more for some else, but now to my point. It's like buying chinese or walmart, your fucking the working american out of a job when you buy foreign/liberal. If any chance possible I try and not to buy from either of those ass clowns. |

Point is to find a company or agent that is at least neutral, or best pro-gun and pro-freedom. These agents have a say at the table during annual conventions and work sessions. If some lefty goes into the meeting with an agenda to enact gun control in the interest of lower insurance prices or decreasing accidents and crime, a word or two from a Pro-2A agent could turn a tide of more Pro-2A agents and bury such an agenda item. I started paying my agent for insurance when I was 14 back in the 70s. I stayed with him due to the moose, caribou, and black-tail deer mounts in his office. And his duck, goose and grouse mounts. And the photos of him shooting shotguns, rifles and handguns. You pay him or her for insurance, that doesn't mean they're untouchable. Get to know them. Find out what makes them tick. If they're antis, drop them like a steaming turd and find an agent that supports your values. Get campaign contribution records from your state's public offices commission. If the agent is dumping the maximums to Obama, find another agent. Then tell the old agent why you're dropping him or her. Then tell your shooting friends. The Left works this way. When are we going to learn? Instead of calling "bullshit" on an ar15.com forum (as some might –– present company excluded) why not start putting your values into action. Do the same unnatural act to Progressive and GEICO as you say you would to Obama. |

Progressive sucks. Don't give your money to this company to further the decline of our country.
If your ex-mil or current mil, look in to USAA. Used to be only for officers, but I believe it is opened to enlisted and ex-active. They are responsible business to deal with and a well run organization. Kick the crap out of State Sham and Nostate rates. |
