GEICO=Government Employee Insurance Company

FReepers should have been avoiding them to begin with! ;-)

Another insurance company showing their political stripes, and alienating a large segment of their market base.

Just crossed them off the list...

Now I know why Geico hasn’t hired ME as a spokesman: I’ve called that nincompoop in the Oval Office every colorful word I can think of, from jackwagon and incompetent to ****** and **** **** and a ******.

GEICO has seemed to have done away with that entire line of commercials and are back to the stupid British lizard.

Who would buy insurance from a company that has a gecko for their spokeslizard, makes their CEO look like a moron, and has no shame?..............

Anyone who does business with either GEICO or PROGRESSIVE needs to have a brain MRI!

And then what?

Let's not use the "b" word. That's a distraction manufactured and poisoned by the radicals.
Let's just say "alternate solutions," to our insurance needs.
But where? Nationwide has created their own deep hole which disgusted millions.

Start Farm Insurance has been professional with me for decades, but I've never been high risk and, like all prfessionals, their sales pitch is not that they will "save you hundreds," but service will be there when you need it. No mickey-mouse weaseling and leaving you high and dry.

No surprise. I’ve heard from two different media pros that their marketing director, Linda Thompson, is a nasty, condescending piece of work; symptom of a liberal organization.

Every insurance commercial appears to sell the idea they’re managed by complete idiots and only idiots need apply for policies... Either stupid ducks, progressive Marxists all dressed the same in white, idiotic talking Australian lizards, people being ‘channeled’ to talk like an agent or nimrods falling off roofs, I want nothing to do with clowns managing my insurance portfolio.

Not that I’m a GEICO fan, but I believe that they also fired the original gecko voice when he expressed a political opinion from the liberal side. Sounds like they are just trying to be neutral.

Although, IMHO, any “neutral” persons in the era of the Obamadork deserves thrashing, derision, and f*rting in the general direction of.

I got a glimpse of their mentality back in the ‘90s when I worked for Brown & Williamson tobacco in Macon, GA. While our new building was going up, we rented a few floors in their building.

The next thing we knew, all their employees who smoked were gathered in the stairwell on our floors because GEICO didn’t allow smoking in their offices.

A week or so later they were all gone, now standing outside the building to smoke as GC banned smoking in the building as well.

A few weeks later the smokers were nowhere in sight. I asked someone where they went and they pointed to the far end of the property, just about in the woods, where the smokers were now standing just outside the property line. GC had banned smoking from the entire site.

I guess the next step would have been to fire all the smokers but mercifully we moved out.

At that time GC was flooding the TV with ads for people to work there. I talked with a few newbies, who all said the place was a Big Brother sweatshop with someone always monitoring you and that few lasted more than a month.

The “JackWagons” that run GEICO can fire anyone they want..
But there is no reason to continue using their company for insurance either..

They DO NOT have the best price for everybody anyway..
“JAckWagons” may be another term for democrats..

I like Ermy (sp) and I am un-opinionated on Geico.

In this day and age, no company can afford to have a spokesperson - of any political identity - going and out saying things like Ermy said.

Take what he said and replace “Obama” with “Bush” and I’d want him fired.

I’m trying to be objective.
