If you're a member of AARP, you may want to consider unsubscribing TODAY! Not only were they a huge supporter (with your money) of Obama, but they are also supporters of his proposed healthcare plan which is totally contradictory to their purpose and greatly detrimental to the welfare of seniors.

Here's an excerpt from part of a Dick Morris blog:

OBAMA WILL REPEAL MEDICARE--- By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

Obama's health care proposal is, in effect, the repeal of the Medicare program as we know it. The elderly will go from being the group with the most access to free medical care to the one with the least access. Indeed, the principal impact of the Obama health care program will be to reduce sharply the medical services the elderly can use. No longer will their every medical need be met, their every medication prescribed, their every need to improve their quality of life answered.

It is so ironic that the elderly - who were so vigilant when Bush proposed to change Social Security - are so relaxed about the Obama health care proposals. Bush's Social Security plan, which did not cut their benefits at all, aroused the strongest opposition among the elderly. But Obama's plan, which will totally gut Medicare and replace it with government-managed care and rationing, has elicited little more than a yawn from most senior citizens.


But the interest groups that usually speak up for the elderly, particularly the AARP--which if you did not know is no longer the American Association for Retired Persons, but simply the "AARP", the lobbying arm of the Democratic National Committee, are in Obama's pocket, hoping to profit from his program by becoming one of its vendors. Just as they backed Bush's prescription drug plan because they anticipating profiting from it, so they are now helping Obama gut the medical care of their constituents.

It is high time that the elderly (and those who expect to be) of America realized what the stakes are for their very lives in this vital fight to preserve Medicare as we know it and keep medical care open, accessible, and free to those over 65. It is truly a battle for their very lives..

Keep this message going to every senior citizen you know.

And losing their AARP sponsored insurance, etc?
Many have signed up for insurance and such that requires membership.

The dorks that are spinning this are causing a lot of grief for impressionable and easially misled eldsters.

I am not advocating AARP membershhip by any means, but many of these oldsters do not realize what cancelling their membership may mean.

Disclaimer: I am not an AARP member nor do I get any money or promotional consideration from them.
 
In some states this could be prosecuted under elderly abuse laws for deliberately misleading elder people to their detriment.
 
Good grief, you always assume that people are too stupid to figure things out for their self...the seniors are still thinking people, who can make up their own minds....

they're not like LIBERALS..
 
Isn't Dick Morris that right wing tool on FOX.

AARP has openly rejected Obama's plan yestarday. see my post.
They are openly for a bipartisan bill.

It's a fact that some seniors are targeted and can be duped by unscrupulous shysters. I don't know what it's like where you live but here the news regularly reports on how seniors are being scammed by contractors, gypsies, charities, phony utilities workers, etc. There's a cottage industry of scumbags who prey on those considered to be the weaker members of society.

Some middle-aged people can be duped by schysters too, we better start making decisions for all of them. Thank god that young parents can never be duped or we'd have to start making decisions for them too....

Yep, he's been wrong so many times on every subject from Bush, to the Iraq war, to New Orleans and on and on I wonder why he's still on tv. Oh yea he's on Faux News.

I saw who the author was and stopped right there. Talking about lies and the lying liars who tell them. I can't ever recall hearing Dick Morris ever tell the truth.
