Here in Texas we were promised, swear on the Bible promised, that if we would only pass lawsuit reform, our insurance rates would drop like a lead sinker in greasy water.

We passed lawsuit reform.  So the insurance companies were left with no alternative to double their windfall profits except to rip off their customers, raise rates, and buy a politician or two.

Allow me to introduce you to insurance crack whore State Senator Kelly Hancock.  According to the Conservative Values Coalition, Kelly is just a pair of sandals away from being able to walk on water.

However, according to insurance PACs, he’s a pavement princess.

A Dallas-area senator carrying a bill that would abolish the state’s consumer advocate for insurance received nearly $112,000 from insurance political action committees in his 2012 campaign, a political watchdog group reported Friday.

You know, I don’t mind that our state representative are for sale.  I don’t.  Hell, everybody is for sale.  What bothers me is they are for sale so damn cheap.
