Linkletter Claims AARP is Country's Largest Liberal Lobby. Beloved former TV host and now senior citizens' spokesman Art Linkletter has decided to go toe-to-toe with the AARP on politics and policy.

Art is correct about the liberal part, and might be correct regarding size as well.

[dandelion]

Go Art, GO!

Dang, I'm only 42...

[traderrob6]

Gotta love this guy!

I just signed up my husband as a birthday gift. I gave him an AARP membership when he turned 50, mostly as a gag to remind him of his age--and that he was older than I am. But this is a real gift. No more AARP.

The AARP takes your money , but when is the last time they asked any of the members what they thought of their liberal policies. Its almost like being a Republican in a Union.

[Fair Paul]

More than almost, good analogy. Art Linkletter was on Cavuto the other day, he has aged so well, he's as sharp as a tack, I think he's 94.

Every month I get junk from AARP and every month I send it back asking them to leave me alone. They are harder to get rid of than a nagging backache.

I got a membership package at 36. That made me mad that whole week!

We also compared their pharmacies and found Costco to be cheaper. My husband bought one of their life insturance policies, but I have one I bought from AAA years ago that's much cheaper.

[Baynative]

Travel and accommodations discounts are also better with AAA.

[ceoinva]

USA Next has better benefits than AARP and AAA...and is Conservative!

[twigs]

You're right. We learned the hard way. I'm delighted to join my husband with this group.

[subterfuge]

Is ARt actually Deep Throat?

[Politically Correct]

Every month I get junk from AARP and every month I send it back asking them to leave me alone. They are harder to get rid of than a nagging backache. Find the business reply envelope in the packet and tape it to a brick and mail it back.
That usually gets their attention......and if it doesn't, it depletes their funds.

I also know Charlie Jarvis. I kept wondering if he was the man I knew about 25 years ago, found his picture and there he was. I liked him the. Met he and his wife while living on Capitol Hill. Great people.

[Safetgiver]

I sent mine back with VOTE YES ON SS.

[TChris]

Go Art! Its about time somebody more visible started to take on the United National Geriatric Grandpas Grandmas and Hard of Hearing - (UNGGGHH!)

;-)

bump for thrusday update

[day10]

Oh man, speaking of this.....

The other night I had an "interesting conversation" with a teacher friend of mine where I pointed out to her some of the things that were being done with her NEA union dues. It was a real eye-opener for her.

[Fiddlstix]

AARP is an out and out Scam in the first place. Let's just say I know that from personal experience. I don't have the time to elaborate just now.

(I checked FR to see what's going on and saw this thread. I have to get back to business. Just putting my 2 cents in for now.)

[liberty2004]

Art Linkletter was on Cavuto the ot

I missed it, but I am sure he was great. On Fox I noticed when mentioning AARP, they pan the building in DC. It is huge. I wish I knew the square footage. Are they the sole tenants of that building? What the heck can all those AARP parasites be doing? What an evil organization -- totally Socialist.

My daughter has that beat. She was 24 when she got hers a couple of months ago.

[rockabyebaby]

93, God love him!

[Las Vegas Dave]

Over age 40 pings.

[boxerblues]

Over age 40 pings

Watch that...40 pings could do some damage if your over age

[Las Vegas Dave]

My bad! For you, over age 21 pings.

[Richard Kimball]

Be careful, Art. You saw what happened to Cosby when he spoke up:

I can hear it now, "First, he made me take my teeth out..."

[boxerblues]

:) much better.
