The AARP, which put itself in the middle of the health care debate by endorsing ObamaCare, now is telling President Obama to keep the group out of his political talking points.

The nation's leading senior advocacy organization objected after the president during Wednesday's debate twice mentioned the AARP while defending his health care plan and attacking Mitt Romney's plans for Medicare...

why pay for it. Agree to debate one of the other socialists running. The green party, or commie party should do nicely. Romney can kick them around for a bit.

And say “If Obama was here...” a LOT.

I was addressing AARP, which consists of old people according to its acronym, not all oldies.

They probably lost a lot of their membership. They are far, far left and came out of the closet big time.

WARP is just as nonpartisan as the League of Women voters.

“Still, having Obama constantly invoking the supposed glory days of Bill Clinton, who left the presidency 12 years ago, was pretty pathetic.”

The biggest irony is that if the kenyan had pulled a Clinton and tacked toward the middle after the 2010 beat down he would be in much better shape now. But barry just could not resist the urge to double down on his marxist core believes.

Now all that bluster is costing him big time with the economy tanking and foreign policy a disaster.

there aren’t any “oldies” in the organization of AARP!

They just suck the life blood out of stupid old people!

“Hint: Be careful to remove all evidence of your name, address and any code numbers which the AARP might use to identify you.”

Great advice. Have you gotten yet any of their post-paid envelopes with a transparent window where the AARP address would normally be? They include an insert with their address on one side, and *your* name and address on the other, so they can start identifying those folks who mail back their crap.

(I xerox the AARP side (reverse side thus blank of course), and then use that to send the envelope back, basking in satisfaction that they had to use more expensive envelopes to get boomeranged yet again).

That will work . . . as will just cutting out the address label and gluing it to a plain sheet of paper.

We wouldn't want to stop that mail from coming.

There’s whoever’s running it and there’re the members. Old people do sign up voluntarily and give the organuzation its raison d’etre. It matters little whether they set policy,; I can call then out for allowing AARP to speak in their name.
