1. What's the AARP up to now?

More damage control after coming out in support of betraying Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries?

4. That was one guy. Who you haven't heard of since.

I for one would be interested in listening to this.

6. Is that the same AARP guy who supported Medicare Part D?

Maybe somebody should silence him so that people don't start to think that AARP is an insurance company.

7. First off, there is no link.

At least none that I am aware of. I answered the phone and they said it was a Townhall meeting via conference call with Sen. Warner, sponsored by the AARP. You could punch star 3 to get in line to ask a question. I did that, but somehow was knocked off the call before my turn came up. They also did a poll of callers which wasn't finished yet. But after a thougand votes, 66% of people wanted a balanced approach to the debt problem - raise revenues and cut expenses. Most of the people I heard were very disgusted about the discussions about cutting SS or medicare. Warner did say he thought raising the cap on SS should be a consideration. But, he also said that everything had to be on the table. The questions I heard were excellent, and at times seemed to surprise Warner. I wish I could have finished the conference, but I got kicked off for some reason unknown to me.
