I got a question. What reason do the wing-nuts give

for the AARP supporting the HCR bill if it will cut all that money from Medicare and Medicaid? I don't listen to Limbaugh and Faux, I know they have to have some kind of excuse for it. Just curious what they are saying about it..

"We juz Assuming the Position, as usual, and doing whatever we can to follow our beloved leader, Rush 'DraftDodger' Limbaugh & allied Republicon Chickenhawk Corporate Toadies, to make sure America FAILS. Smirk."

- Republicon Wing Nuts

:rofl:

raising hell about Obama cutting Medicare, I'm thinking if that's so why on earth would the AARP support it. I am going to ask one of them to explain that one to me next time, I'm sure Glenn Beck has given them some kind of reason not to believe the AARP.

that fights for senior citizens welfare don't they? The NRA fights for gun rights. The AARP fights for senior citizens. You're probably right they just listen to Limbaugh and Faux and really don't have a clue.

Scare the crap out of people and they will vote with you...

Remember that infamous ad that defeated Dukakis in 1988 and gave the Presidency to pres shit-for-brains'father?
Totally fear based...

can sell supplemental insurance. :shrug:

Not saying they are bad but they are not good either...I remember when my dad joined he thought he was joining a group of people like himself..he didn't realize AARP is in it for the money....

Presumably, it's now part of the leftist cabal that's trying to destroy freedom in the United States ... or so they say.

:crazy:

birthers, anti abortion zealots who attack abortion clinics and those who go to the tea bag rallies. They have an agenda they are pushing and they are determined to push it even though they are in the minority. They are fanatics, they think and push like two year olds with about as much forethought or reason as is involved in a child's tantrum. They want what they want and they will say or do just about anything to get it. I am so tired of their antics and people letting them get away without calling them on it that I don't have words to describe it.

They don't care that people are sick and dying and need something more than a crack brained ideology to keep them alive and well. I know that AARP gave Bush that prescription abination that those with Medicare are stuck with. Later on they claimed that they had been lied to and the initiative had been misrepresented to them by the administration to get their endorsement. My question about that is that if they didn't know for a fact what was in the prescription plan why did they endorse it in advance? I mean Bush was always so trustworty, wasn't he? I don't know what AARP is thinking now.

Personally, I miss the Grey Panthers from the 60s. They were stone radicals who actually acted in the best interest of seniors. They lobbied, they spoke in public and they countered all of the right wing crap that was being used to try to prevent Medicare and other assistance progams for seniors. The organization kind of disappeared, but I sure wish they were here now.

Throughout all this wrangling and delay about the Health Care bill I remember that Medicare was passed in 1965 and they had it up and running in only eleven months. Lyndon Johnson was famous for twisting arms until they popped out of the socket if he wanted to get something done.
