They also have 35 million total members, 400,000 new members in the past month and 1.5 million membership renewals in the past month....

The article names The American Seniors Association, as the conservative alternative and it’s gaining 60,000 members a month who are quitting the AARP.

I have been on the phone twice today trying to cancel my membership but after holding 20 minutes the first time and 15 the second gave up. Will try again later.

So, which is it? The other day AARP swore it was against ObamaCare.

I’m not sure there is one really. My Father was pretty conservative back in the day. However, in his last few years, he was convinced that Bush wanted to take away his social security. He had become a one issue voter.

In my view, the AARP is worse than Al quida.

They hold politicians hostage when it comes to reforming entitlements.

At least you can shoot Al Quida

You know, this isn’t the first time the Liberal leeches in charge at AARP have used their members money to bankroll and run ads for Lib Pig agenda causes. I seem to remember a rather big one from some five or six years back...can’t quite remember but I remember it got several m,embers steamed about it..and of course AARP didn’t give a damn.

A truly remarkable report from CBS. This lib network actually reports the FACTS and does so both well and far more completely than I would have expected. Go figure!

Betcha Rand, the CEO of AARP, ends up some time or another in the Obama Administration. They are way too chummy.

It’s not that he is a single issue voter so much as he is under the mistaken belief that the alphabet news is a reliable source of information.
My mother is pretty much the same way. She still thinks Bush (either one, they are pretty much interchangeable in her mind) is (are?) the source of all evil. She is convinced that the Republicans will take her SS away and throw her in the streets. If CBSNBCABCCNNMSNBCCPUSA news says it, she believes it.
She can’t understand why Dan Rather ‘retired’, either.

When ever I get mail from AARP I rip it up and put it in the postage payed return envelope. It’s fun costing those bastards going and coming. One of these days I’m taping it to a brick and mailing it back.
