We have an ad on our TV which is asking people not to vote. It's sponsored by AARP. It has a bunch of people begging people not to vote. Obviously, that gets your attention and you wait for the punch line. Then it says to not vote unless you know the issues and where your people stand on them. I think it's trying to discourage people from voting. That, I would think, must mean that they don't like what their polls are telling them. They instruct viewers to go to dontvote.com, a website that breaks down AARP issues by state and district and takes you to campaign websites.

Or, they obviously think that the majority of their members, despite what we suspect, are going to vote R and they want them to stay home.

That's because AARP is an overwhelmingly liberal organization whose constituents are overwhelmingly conservative. The best way for AARP to advance its agenda is, paradoxically, to have its members stay home for the election. =]

Strange, ain't it?

The AARP is nothing more than a liberal, nay socialist, lobbying group. I refuse to give those jerks a dime for their so-called benefits. They just want to steal from our children and grandchildren.
