I have this one little form and I will be reporting to the Insurance commissioner off of that, for sure.

There really seems to be an "It's ok if you're Republican" swagger. I *promise* this guy said it TWICE before I even showed my face. It was the WAY he said it...like it's common knowledge. Like it's a "given". I am even tempted to think this is part of his sales pitch.

Right now, as I play the 'shoulda coulda woulda' game, I really wished I would have snapped his photo and gotten his name. I wished I would have given him enough rope to REALLY ensnare himself. I may have confronted him too soon. While I began typing this original OP, he was still in my driveway. I wish I would have snapped a photo. It all happened in less than ten minutes...the whole thing.
