You also have been keeping up with the news on how they caved in when Obama promised they could sell insurance to seniors when medicare plus went south. Most if not all seniors like their additional insurance and do not want to see it stop and not stupid enough not to know about AARP's money grab.
Yeah, I wanna "bet" it has NOTHING to do with gender.

So do you post EVERYTHING with which you agree on CD? Did you realize that you'd be such an easy mark for those super-rich insurance companies! At least the woman who "wrote" that letter probably got some "reward" for doing it. LOL As I said, big insurance knows EXACTLY WHAT IT IS DOING with getting "ordinary folks" to write such "letters."

You should demand some compensation for doing as much work for them as you have done by posting "their" letter on the Internet! .........

Btw, how many of your letters to big organizations have made their way around on the Internet just because you sent copies to a few friends? LOL STOP and THINK about that story. Most people have enough common sense to at least question such a "unique" outcome.........

Right. Maybe "the left" has more integrity and more common sense.

It sure does. It says that the writer of the letter has lost her damn mind. Poor thing. How sad that her paranoia has been so publicly documented. If I were her daughter, I'd feel sorry for her.

Most of the left (some are waking up) are falling for a health bill and believing it won't cost that much or put the country into bankruptcy. Talk about being naive and without common sense.

Ya, I'll bet thousands of dollars...no one criticized the stupid letter because a woman allegedly wrote it.DUH And if they did, then they are as stupid as anyone who falls for these "chain" letters .

Will anyone else be glad when a portion this demographic is no longer dipping into our Social Security, driving up medical costs, babbling senescently, opining their superannuated ideologies, and writing letters that no one else could really give a rat's ass about?

That's been noted numerous times in both the original and your duplicate. Maybe if you read what people wrote you'd look a little less.... ignorant.

Further, who cares if it is genuine or not; it's just some codger's opinion.

Here, here's my open letter to the AARP, and it is NOT A FAKE:

Dear AARP,

Please be more careful with your mail. Apparently someone takes the letters you receive and turns them into email and message board SPAM used by bored and lonely old conservatives to annoy their grandkids.

Sincerely,

GoBusta
