Gallaghers' dream is a crock

Tom Gallaghers' latest TV ad includes "Tom Gallagher won't let offshore insurance companies hold your home hostage. Tom Gallagher, fighting for the American dream."

Tom Gallagher is being economical with the truth.

He looks after insurers at the expense of Floridians;

Insurance insiders know that for three years he and his Department of Financial Services danced with White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd, a Bermuda-based financial services holding company with major interests in the reinsurance market, and even today Gallagher refuses to enforce the law against these offshore pirates who seem to think they are immune from prosecution as they blatantly violate Florida's statutes every day.

Sirius International, a White Mountains subsidiary reinsurer is unlicensed in Florida yet has underwritten unlawful medical insurance plans in Florida for more than 5 years. The DFS investigated them for 3 years before deciding the company was acting unlawfully, but apparently chose not to fine them when their illegal activities were exposed

Steven Fass (photo left) is President of White Mountains. He knows Sirius is unlawful in Florida yet refuses to instruct them to stop writing there. His lawyers have met several times with DFS officials and finally they withdrew their application for a license in Florida in March '06, but even that acknowledgment they have no authority didn't stop them underwriting.

Despite clear violations of Florida's Insurance Code and Statutes by Sirius International Gallagher has not allowed his staff to force them to stop doing business in Florida, take any regulatory against them, or levy any monetary penalties.

Gallagher is cozying up to this offshore insurer and letting them get away with stealing taxes from Florida and writing millions of dollars worth of illegal insurance - is that his vision of fighting for the American dream?

Gallagher should be impeached and removed from the post of Treasurer for his massive wrongdoings with White Mountains.

It's clear that Gallagher is definitely not Governor material.

Why would you link to an unidentified blog that opposes Gallagher on the grounds that he's a Christian? Is that your blog?

Your blog is a pretty good advertisement for Gallagher. I can see why anyone who hates Christians and conservatives would be convinced by you not to vote for him, but here at FR, this is a glowing endorsement.




Religious nut claims Gallagher walked with Christ

Public comments by the religious right, who endorse a candidate not on experience, credibility or qualifications, but based on whether or not the candidate declares he's found Jesus. are scary issues in the race for the Governor's office.

Religion should have NO place in politics and Gallagher should steer away from the religious right-wing with their narrow-minded piety, who make announcements as if they have a hot-line to God's campaign office.

Tom Gallagher displays simple vote-grabbing cynicism by sucking up to Christian conservative leaders in Florida.

"Tom's story is a true story of Christ's redemption, it's not an election year conversion" said Pam Olsen, an outspoken conservative activist. "He has walked with Christ. Tom truly loves the Lord. People of faith across the state are praying for him."

Sounding like a Christian zealot Ms. Olsen sits as the Statewide Co-Chair for the Social Conservatives for Gallagher Coalition, spewing grand-sounding pronouncements, but how can she possibly know if Tom's story of Christ's redemption is true, or just a carefully crafted plan created by a voter-hungry election committee?

What does she really mean by "Tom Gallagher has walked with Christ"?

Olsen is an outspoken right-wing bigot, naively relishing her time in the spotlight; she should be preaching in a church hall, not on a statewide platform trying to influence others with her bizarre religious views and pompous statements.

Gallagher would be better served by dealing with sky-rocketing insurance bills; problems that affect most Floridians, not courting right-wing religious nuts.

Democratic Senator Bill Nelson took the State of Florida out of the national insurance pool with he was the State Insurance Commissioner. That's when Florida's insurance troubles began.

Thanks go out to BILL NELSON.
