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

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'.

I think the AARP left the reservation when they went against the Demcorats and supported the Republican prescription drug bill, which may not have been a great bill but it took the issue away from the Democrats.

Since then, they have been yanked back into line.
