As a member of AARP, they got a note on this, this morning. I will be interested in any response I receive. Given that their site has postings that tell their members to ENCOURAGE THE GOVERNMENT TO PASS THE STIMULUS BILL — which contains the draconian measures AGAINST SENIORS in Obama’s (Daschel’s) radical socialized medical laws.
Hypocrisy? From AARP? We shall see.
Arlen Specter was on Fox News this morning and was asked about this. He admitted he had no idea this was in the plan. Few apparently did, which was exactly what Daschle suggested: do it on the sly in the name of something else or opposition will build and it won’t pass.
AARP has always been a liberal-Democrat organization. I’ve seen enough of their literature to be pretty clear in that.
And I’m guessing Obama didn’t tell AARP that he planned to let old people die of medical neglect to save money for his government health care.
