I hope they cave in I see Americans United for Change has agreed to advertise with the bloggers. I love it paying good money to do what? As if the far left loons will stray from the dims?

Spend that money advertising to people who already agree with you. This is like GM taking out advertising space in their employee magazine.

I must be missing something here.
I have returned every prepaid envelope AARP has sent me for the last ten years with various notes about how I don’t want any part of their Socialist agenda.
Anyone who would consider joining AARP for an idiot 10% discount on a hotel room may as well sign up for all the Socialist Democrat Welfare Dole program of the month and turn in their aspiration for Americian exceptionalism.

BTW, it appears they have finally quit sending me their propaganda!

I’ve never forgiven them for not even wanting to consider the Bush administrations proposals for Social Security reform. And now we hear that:

“The Congressional Budget Office projects that the Social Security trust funds will collect just $3 billion more in cash receipts than they will pay out in benefits in the 2010 budget year that starts in October. A year ago, before the economy slipped into recession, the CBO projected an $86 billion cash surplus for the same year.”

Nice going, AARP

what the nutroots are talking about is called CAPITALISM….
I thought they were 110% opposed to the evils of capitalism?
They cannot live on hope & change? What’s wrong? This socialism gig is not paying enough tp pay for groceries & the rent? Maybe you wanks will wake up and smell the greenbacks. When you blog & whale about how bad it is to make money and then cry and blog about how bad it is not to make money – well you just cannot have it both ways. If you want to be the new socialists you blog about then go live like them. That means no paychecks. Sorry but that new Mac you want is out of the question. Need a server upgrade? Sorry not gonna happen. And guess what? All that great blogging you did about the need for cap & trade will mean you electricity bill will skyrocket? And you have convinced America that we need more alternative fuels so guess what again? Your food will cost more!!! And the really good news? Advertisers are cutting back across the board because they don’t have the hope that your fleckless leader does. And this article should also brighten your blue days.

Conservatives need to learn lessons by AARP and DEMS much of the time. Look at how DEMS got all the support of all of the left wing groups for Obamatopia. Impressive. We’ve got work to do.

They are very organized. A mostly unified voice by AARP is extremely powerful.

We need to unify conservative organizations. I believe we could exact a heckuva lot of change, especially where we really need it, primaries! We need focused group effort on blowing out our squishy representatives and place true conservatives for general elections.

“AARP is also not particularly inclined to play any more partisan political games than it absolutely has to”

Yet, they do. It was interesting to follow your link to the SHAARP Session and find that the comments following that article were almost entirely anti-AARP, mostly because of its leftist positions on everything, poorly disguised as “reasoned opinion.”
