May the AARP take the Alan Grayson approach to going under.

This cousse change can't have anything to do with AARP's members fleeing by the boatloads because of the AARP stance for ObamaCare and Liberals.

No. No way.

Let 'em die...

The first article in AARP’s latest newsletter mailing was all about how the mortgage interest deductions and health insurance premium deductions were a huge revenue loss for the federal government.

FUAARP

Wonder if they’re sick of seeing “return to sender” scrawled across each mailing they send me?

Many of us are scratching our noses at the AARP with an unnamed digit.... Serves them right, and suits me just fine... May their membership continue to dwindle...

I dumped AARP when they supported Hillarycare.

You can’t fix stupid.

It took me three time calling them to get their trash mail from coming to my house. I actually talked to a human being there, who asked me why I wanted their mail stopped, and I told them. They didn’t seem surprised.

They need to lose millions of members or they won’t learn anything.

Not even too little, too late; it’s simply too bad! They knew what it meant before they joined Obama’s quest to destroy our health care system. They are co-conspirators and deserve to replaced by other senior groups that want interstate insurance shopping and tort reform. The Republicans should be talking about what they’re going to do in place of Obamacare, not just talk about repealing it.
