Despite several statements to the contrary in recent months, it turns out that AARP, a membership organization that purports to represent the interests of people 50 and older, was behind ObamaCare all along. According to an article in The Hill tonight, Associated Press is reporting that AARP is planning to endorse the House version of President Barack Obama’s health care reform plan prior to it being voted on Saturday.

Despite several statements to the contrary in recent months, it turns out that AARP, a membership organization that purports to represent the interests of people 50 and older, was behind ObamaCare all along. According to an article in The Hill tonight, Associated Press is reporting that AARP is planning to endorse the House version of President Barack Obama’s health care reform plan prior to it being voted on Saturday.

It was only three months ago that an AARP meeting on healthcare reform went “South” and the organization began losing members by the tens of thousands, prompting spokespersons to make statements distancing AARP from ObamaCare. A short while later, however, an AARP ObamaCare ad surfaced, causing many to question anew the sincerity of the group’s leaders on the issue.

Yes, after all of the posturing and shifting back and forth with the political winds, AARP is planning to formally endorse ObamaCare.

I’ve been observing these varmints for a long time. They are on the wrong side of just about any issue you can name.

In order for the House plan to work over time, some of these AARP seasoned citizens will need to die soon. More the better. For the children don’t ya know...

AARP is ALL in on Obama DeathCare just like Newt SlimeRich was all in on Dede.

The AARP wants granny dead.

Sent back their recent enrollment plea with a note telling them what I thought.....guess they don’t care. Hope lots of others do the same anyway.

And, this is a surprise to whom??

It is for exactly this reason that every piece of trash I get from AARP goes either in the garbage, or gets sent right back to them.

Of course they will. They don't work for their members. They have been taken over by the left and now use their members' money to actively work to support socialist causes--even when those causes have direct detrimental effects on AARP members.

That's what good little communists do.

I quit after 2 years (5 years ago) and have been telling anyone who would listen how liberal (and greedy) they were.

Sadly many Seasoned Citizens are naive and uninformed.

One can only hope that this will be the nail in their coffin!

That is why I never joined, they support big government constantly. They have sent me a card probably 10 times or more, I toss them out. They finally gave up.

Did you hear the news? AARP endorses a plan to pull the plug on grandma to sell her organs to defray the cost of free health care for the youth.

That’s what I hear, I don’t care what the press release says.

I'm 64, but I never joined, and never will...anything that comes to my house with AARP on it, goes unopened, straight to the round file.

In my opinion, AARP is "ACORN Lite".

Well of course AARP is on board with ObamaCare. THey have to do something to make the payments on their fancy downtown DC office building and to fund their payroll of do-gooders! “Membership” fees just aren’t enough!
