AARP embraces Partisanship

On November 5, 2009, in Politics, by Henshaw

Just for the record, the AARP’s claim that it’s a “non-partisan” organization is officially nonsense. After mobilizing a campaign to stop Social Security reform four years ago, and now endorsing the House’s health care bill, the AARP can officially be called a Democratic lobbying group. Endorsing the House monstrosity does little to produce real health care reform and ultimately damages the AARP’s creditability.
AARP, please spare us your meaningless elephant donkey “divided we fail” marketing ploy. The divided we fail site says “We’re asking Congress to commit to working in a bipartisan way to provide Americans with actions and answers.” There’s nothing bipartisan about the House bill and it’s likely almost no Republicans will vote for it. So much for a stand on bipartisanship.
It’s time to shed light on this powerful lobbying group. Anyone to the right of Joseph Lieberman shouldn’t be giving money to the AARP. There’s nothing non-partisan about the organization.
