AARP is left leaning. I would never trust them.

[gotribe]

Yes it is, and cynical, too. AARP is one of the most liberal interest groups. It's all about gimme, gimme, gimme.

[P-40]

Isn't this just another ploy to suppress the voter turnout on November 7?

Let's hope it works! I don't want my vote mixed in with someone that could be swayed by a singing and dancing politician.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The pronunciation of the AARP acronym is appropriate.

let's see.. they don't want the military votes to be counted.. practically, they want voters to stay home until they think we are informed on the issues... Dems are really panicked.. what's next? are they gonna go around in scarecrow costumes and knock on doors hoping to cause heart attacks?

I saw this a few times tonight (Friday). AARP is buying a lot of commercial time and I too suspect that the "dont vote" web site name is intended to stick in peoples' minds and subliminally get them to stay home.

Why? Because AARP knows the majority of retirees don't agree with the agenda of AARP and the leftists. The more retirees who stay home, the better the chances of the lefty's and AARP.

GO OUT AND VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE!!!!!

I have an AARP membership solely for the travel discounts which I double with my AAA membership(participating establishments only). The AARP newsletter is n't worth the paper its printed on...and its reject newsprint from the National Enquirer.

They mean don't vote unless you vote democrat.

[Always Right]

I have seen this on O'Reilly, where else are they airing the ad. I think if we find it is targeted at conservative shows, it could very well be an intentional effort to surpress the vote.

[Bernard Marx]

I don't think it'll suppress non-oldsters' votes. But the AARP is a purely socialist lobbying organization and it has a lot of influence with many "Greatest Generation" folks who've learned to love living on the dole. The subliminal message is "find out who may want to mess with your Social Security."

Oldsters, don't flame me -- I'm one of you. I quit AARP because of its political activities. What concerns me is how this escapes the McCain-Feingold restrictions that prevent other organizations like the NRA from running ads this close to an election. Maybe it's okay if you direct people to a website but this campaign strikes me as very partisan and suspect. Someone who knows how to pull the right strings ought to raise hell about it.

I checked it out on Harold Ford, JUNIOR, he, he, ha, ha...not one word on his votes listed.

I just sent foxnews an e-mail what I think about this ad:

Beltway@foxnews.com, Myword@foxnews.com, Bigstory-weekend@foxnews.com, Cavuto@foxnews.com, Friends@foxnews.com, Feedback@foxnews.com, FNS@foxnews.com, Hannity@foxnews.com, Foxreport@foxnews.com, Oreilly@foxnews.com, Cavuto@foxnews.com

Fox News and other conservative outlets are being duped by the AARP into running these ads. These ads are exclusively being run on conservative stations. They are not aimed at imforming the voters, the ads are aimed at suppressing the vote. The real message of the ads is just what it says 'Don't Vote'. AARP is pulling a fast one trying to claim this ad is about wanting to educate voters. Their 'dontvote' website does not include information about where the candidate stands on the issues. All it contains is excerpts from mostly leftwing news organizations about polls and what the candidates are up to. Some of the stories have a very negative slant towards the GOP. Here's the lead story from my district IN-8: Surprise: Dems have a real agenda. Republicans paint the opposition as monsters, ignoring the choices voters really face on issuesNov 3, 2006 Newsday

What does that have to do with informing the voters about the issue??? Fox News quit being duped by these illegal political ads being sold as public service spots. The message in the ad is clear, 'conservatives, don't vote'.
