The AARP is owned by the Democrat Party just like the MSM.
What Ryan should have mentioned (I didn’t read the transcript) is the fact that AARP stands to profit from Commiecare. Of course relying on the mainlining socialist media to inject that into their report is expecting too much . But what he can do now ,and should, is bring that up if he gets a follow up by a reporter. Then blast it out in a PR.
Nothing but a bunch of trained seals.
The audience was probably stacked with Democrats.
Some years ago, a Freeper said he always returned AARP’s postage-paid envelopes to them - stuffed with anything that would fit so as to cost them as much as possible. I adopted his policy and have done the same with dozens of them ever since...
AARP is a democrat apparatchik. They have a symbiotic relationship with the government and the side that they favor is the democrat, they both feed out of the same trough and off each other... they are slime...
why would he ever speak at this Democrat-owned front group? I guess for the same reason Romney is going on The View again...incompetence.
Any 55 yr old that is fooled by the AARP is already senile.
There are other options for seniors these days.
Yep, Ryan did a marvelous job.
You don’t win elections preaching to the choir.
No conservative should EVER speak to the AARP. They are a buncha gimme gimme olds. Socialists.
Everything I get from AARP goes into the shredder.
They have been sending me their garbage since I was 55. I have never joined them, so I don’t know why they continue to pollute my mailbox with their trash.
Retires with a brain realize the AARP sucks
AARP’s support for Obozocare equals leading their own lambs to slaughter.
Their behavior was very juvenile for people of any age...let alone senior citizens.
Obama said he would not enact policies that make insurance companies more profitable, all the while AARP is very much in the insurance business (just watch TV for a little while and you will be flooded with AARP insurance commercials) and stands to make a bundle off of Obamacare. That of course is not going to be widely reported by the partisan press.
Great Idea! I am decades from their target audience.
I get stuff from them about twice a week. I will send them some Eastwooding flyers and other anti socialist messages.
See how long they take to remove me from their mailing list.
This can work with any postage-paid junk mail. :)
If you are interested in that kind of organization...as far as the discounts, etc. there is an alternative organization called Generation America that is conservative.
That might have been me. I’ve often encouraged people to express their objections in that more direct manner. I return one envelope with a polite request to take me off their list. If I get more I return them with a metal plate (electrical knock-out plate) that zooms the postage up to 3-4 dollars apiece.
Because so much of their promotion systems are automated AARP has never caught on and we continue to play the game - with me costing them about $15 a month ;-)
