Those blockheads at AARP are really delusional; after throwing all of their support behind ObamaCare, only to be burned big-time as its unpopularity numbers have skyrocketed as Americans have found out more and more about it, they then go ahead and play the 'shut up or we'll send our lawyers after' card.
A major black eye for them anyway you slice it, and James Carville can't help you spin this!!!!
I wonder how many people like me are not going to be AARP members anymore because of their political leanings? My membership just expired and I'm not renewing.
President Obama invoked AARP to defend his health care law last night, prompting the influential group to release a statement telling him not to do that again. “While we respect the rights of each campaign to make its case to voters, AARP has never consented to the use of its name by any candidate or political campaign,” the group posted in a statement . “AARP is a nonpartisan organization and we do not endorse political candidates nor coordinate with any candidate or political party.”
The President accurately quoted a position the AARP has taken and statements the organization has made. No different than Mr. Romney quoting organizations he believes support programs he's endorsed or positions he's taken. Remember, too, that the extremists in the U.S. Congress have promised to dismantle AARP or otherwise damage it ... because it believes its positions have political overtones. It's those threats, those anti-American sentiments which are behind any comment the AARP may have offered today.
