Posted on 10/04/2012 7:39:04 AM PDT by tsowellfan

The AARP, which put itself in the middle of the health care debate by endorsing ObamaCare, now is telling President Obama to keep the group out of his political talking points.

I keep my big ‘sharpie’ marker JUST for THEIR mail. I return it all to them with:

“You supported Obamacare, don’t bother me!”

Written in large capes all over it.

THEN I return it to them in their OWN postage paid envelope!!! :)

AARP sells Medicare SUPPLEMENT insurance and profits nicely from it. It, in fact, is not the insurer so it gets a nice commission for selling to it’s membership, but none of the risk. When Obamacare forces people off Medicare Advantage, it will provide an enormous windfall to AARP by people buying their supplement.

No organization, NONE, who claim non-profit status, including Veterans organizations and religious entities should be endorsing any candidate or party. These sleazy jerks sneak into upper echelon like the homos did in the churches and destroy any resemblance of what the organization originally intended to be.

That’s funny, during the Obamacare edict from on high, the AARP had its head so far up Zero’s azz he had to breathe for them.

They must think they know something to be wanting to distance themselves from him now. This is the one time I’ll ever hope they’re correct.

I take EVERY LETTER I get from AARP and stuff it with the other junk mail I get from other scamsters and mail it back to them in their postage-paid envelope.

“Non-profit” AARP is not allowed to take sides.

“Non-profit” AARP gets hundreds of millions of dollars a year shilling for United Healthcare which, like other insurance companies, benefits from Obamacare by having millions of new customers being forced to buy more — and more expensive — health insurance.

“No More Obama-Romney debates”

President Obama should deputize Bill Clinton to do the next debate.

Our President is far too busy with matters of state to deal with this man “Romney”, whom he does not even know.

President Obama has no need to prove himself to anybody.

If Romney will not accept this, then fine - NO more debates!

What is right is right, there is NO need for debate to find out what it is.

Progress! Forward!

It was embarrassing watching the smartest man in the world trying to hide his massive health-care disaster behind the AARP’s sh!tty reputation.

LOL!!!!!

You guys are a hoot!

I like the idea of shredding all their uninvited mail and sending it back to them AND a little post-it note asking them how that 0bamaoCare is working out for them.
