Ryan's mouth diarrhea - we're going to pull in more of that senior vote.

Granny gets online too and many know how to email with the best of 'em.

I kindof feel sorry for the dumbass.............nah, not really.

If you believe a word from a ReTHUG on Meducare I Betty White an a virgin and then she lets out a loud laugh - that will seal the deal with Seniors if Lyan and WilLIARd haven't already done so.

AARP starts at age 50, their rates are cheap, and they keep folks updated on email. Don't F with us, our Medicare or our Social Security.

How many AARP members are there?

35.7 million.

As of February 19, 2010, there are 35.7 million members of the American Association of Retired Persons or AARP. This is according to a press release published by the AARP on the same date. A huge controversy broke out in August 2009 following AARP’™s support for President Obama’™s health reform measure, which led to the reported exodus of 60,000 of its members. An Associated Press report, however, quotes an AARP spokesman as saying that AARP gained 400,000 since July 2009.

the Big Pharma drug plan, and started selling gap insurance. But no, they are not intrinsically RW at all. In fact, before they made those two bogus moves they were as respected as Consumer Reports.

You mean I should actually join when they send me another unsolicited, temporary membership card in the mail instead of being mildly insulted?

Where's the fun in that?

first thought...didn't you mean to send this to my Mom?

For all of their faults, they have a really, really, really easy way (open the email, just click the appropriate button on the link) to tell either or both candidates to support Health care Reform and get their greasy paws off our Medicare and Social Security and it's sent through their email. It's just like a political party, it will lean in favor of it's constituents. Maybe it gives my "one little vote" more importance??? Hope so, anyway.
