AARP Gets the 'Swift Boat' Treatment
"... the campaign for item No. 1 on (the GOP) agenda, Social Security privatization, is getting a whole lot nastier. Groups left and right are launching the kind of attack ads normally reserved for election campaigns. The conservative group USA Next, which is attacking the AARP for its anti-privatization stance, has retained consultants who helped orchestrate the Swift Boat Vets attack on John Kerry." @
"...an ad from USA Next, a loony right group that thinks of itself as the conservative alternative to AARP. Apparently "the real AARP agenda" is to endorse gay marriage and disband the military."
~On the other hand: AARP Prepares to Punch Back on Social Security
~AARP sold out it's membership not so long ago publically applauding and promoting Bush's worthless drug plan for seniors; it'll be interesting to see if and when they cave on this too. AARP's probably endowed until the next century anyway.
