AARP to Obama: Stop citing us - The Hill's Healthwatch

AARP has a message for President Obama: Stop using us to score political points.

Obama cited the nonpartisan senior lobby twice in Wednesday's debate when arguing against Mitt Romney's Medicare proposals.

The remarks prompted a polite statement from AARP Senior Vice President John Hishta asking candidates to refrain from mentioning the group.

"AARP has never consented to the use of its name by any candidate or political campaign," Hishta said.

"AARP is a nonpartisan organization, and we do not endorse political candidates nor coordinate with any candidate or political party."

Hishta sent a similar dispatch in August, when the Obama campaign released an ad using AARP quotes to attack Paul Ryan's Medicare policy.

"The next president and Congress will decide the future of Medicare, and the candidates owe voters straight talk — not just 30-second ads — about what their plans will mean for today's seniors and future retirees," Hishta said in August.

On Wednesday, Obama cited AARP estimates to argue that savings from the healthcare law will extend Medicare's lifetime. He also told Romney that "AARP has said that your plan would weaken Medicare substantially."

AARP supported Obama's signature healthcare law, prompting criticism from conservatives who believe the group is more political and left-leaning than it says.

On Thursday, Reps. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) and Charles Boustany Jr. (R-La.) aired these complaints after AARP moved to distance itself from Obama.

"In reality, senior AARP leadership and key White House officials worked closely together on the passage of President Obama's healthcare reform," Gingrey and Boustany wrote in a press memo.

"AARP leadership consistently ignored the deluge of calls from members, the majority of which opposed ObamaCare, and instead continued working in conjunction with the White House to perfect their 'messaging' to seniors," the memo stated.

The blue hair/Code Pinko/pull my finger,sonny/dementia crowd have been brainwashed by the leftist AARP organization for MANY years. Just take a look at their AARP magazine that they send to their members. It's always chock full of scare tactics, warnings, false promises, and other assorted socialist propaganda.

AARP is still shoveling bucket loads of cash to Obama's campaign. This "don't use our name" crap is nothing more than a weak attempt by AARP to appear to be non-partisan.

BS. Example of Dem lie. ONE?

"The rich get richer off the backs of the poor."

Face it... you're a whiner. How are you going to support yourself without being able to suckle the teet of mommy gubmint?

No wonder you're scared and afraid. I would be too if I couldn't take care of myself....

Abortion is adjudicated. O-care free birth control will make it much rarer. No Dem lie yet.

Seniors, blacks, women...they think they're stupid, and they commit a lot of resources to misleading them.

BS. Example of Dem lie. ONE?

The gigantic Pub propaganda machine, hundreds of lockstep Pubs, pundits, BS orgs, institutes, and bloggers, has the dupes living in an alternate BS universe. See "Obama gutted Medicare, Workfare, had total control for 2 years", see my sig pp3 for hateful BS and character assassination.

The whole Pub platform is a BS smokescreen to cover their longtime pandering to the rich, and the continued ruin of the nonrich and the country. see sig pp1.

Frankie.....you cant point out a Dem lie to someone as Left as you are....you wont buy it....you dont even question those People......they say or do something and your right here defending them....no matter what......Obama and Company can come out tomorrow and say "as of this moment free speech is suspended.....you can not criticize me or the Congress....if you do you will be arrested"..... and you will be right here telling us he has a good reason to do that and you are all Pub Dupes for believing differently......and thanks for the depression.....etc. etc.....and your usual shit.....

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ totally irrelevant to this election, or anything else but the dupe alternate universe.

Funny, you thought it was relevant enough to respond to and ask for "proof". Until I linked the proof. Then suddenly, it's irrelevant.
