AARP ran a really effective ad on NBC evening news yesterday ...
They showed seniors rebutting Repug proposals with phrases like "I paid into Medicare for years" and "That wasn't the deal we agreed to".

Can't find it on YouTube -- maybe someone's grandkids will post it. ;)

1. They are trying SO HARD to get back all the people who told them to get fucked after
they endorsed Bush's donut hole that produced higher pharmacy bills that seniors are STILL paying.

AARP are a bunch of fucking hucksters. Their lobbyists are in bed with Big Pharma and Big Medicine.

They are NOT on your side--save your dues money and use it to buy medical pot or something.

7. +1 They'll fight as long as it's profitable....
then, when we've lost, they'll profit more.

AARP was created by corporations looking for (yet) another way to scam profits from U.S. seniors, while simultaneously using them as a lobbying arm - The blueprint for the teabaggers (who get no benefit from their efforts).
