Obama's Pocket Seniors

The AARP leadership is proving not to represent its membership but to be an active part of the Democrat party pushing the Obama health care agenda which rightly terrifies many senior citizens. While NBC and ABC will not accept a thirty-three second ad critical of Obama care crafted by Dick Morris for a pro-liberty organization, I have watched, I believe on NBC, an ad sponsored by the AARP, where drivers are shown deliberately blocking and fencing in an ambulance, meant to show that "myths" are thwarting Obama's widely beneficial health plan. The elderly in this country are not fools and can see if you stretch resources by adding the forty-seven million uninsured (the Democrats' own figure), it will cause unimaginable lines, delayed care, care rationing, and ultimately bleed this country dry. I saw no such AARP ads on TV denouncing the routine efforts by Democrats to scare old people when Republicans were in power with lies that the GOP planned to end Social Security or wanted to see the elderly "wither on the vine" when it came to Medicare. So, seniors, already able to access Medicare and Medigap insurance, may now forfeit their coverage to some new universal care scheme that deprives them of what they have paid into throughout their working lives and were promised. Instead of listening to their memberships' concerns or trying a national membership survey (or even a vote by mail, telephone, and the Internet using discreet membership numbers) to see what their constituents wanted, the AARP is trying to dictate to its members with an "education" campaign of Obama's spoon fed, talking point propaganda. Our elders deserve better.
