You don’t suppose that this has anything to do with the fact that AARP has been a vocal opponent of dismantling Social Security and Medicare do you?
AARP responds.
Pretty soon the Republicans won’t have any more groups to go after.

Former Democratic Party activist. I'm a liberal with a capital L, but I'm no longer buying what the Democratic Party is selling. I live on 5 acres of sand and sagebrush in northern Nevada with the Love Of My Life, three cats and three dogs.

Are you Too Liberal For Obama?

What Barack Obama should be saying (and meaning)
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there -- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea -- God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along." ~ Elizabeth Warren (next Senator from Mass.)
