AARP bias
is showing
Senior citizens like myself deserve unbiased information from AARP. We're not getting it. In my view, since the 2004 election, AARP has become part of the Democratic Party "media machine."
I haven't seen a feature article by a real conservative in the "AARP Magazine" since one by Nancy Reagan in 2003! AARP has followed the Democratic Party line ever since Bill Novelli, a former publicist for Bill Clinton, became CEO. Maybe that's why I can't get my fair and balanced editorials printed in the "AARP Bulletin."
More recently, the AARP-Democratic connection became more obvious to me. In mid-May we received Democratic Congressman Oberstar's latest political mailer - in an AARP envelope. In addition, a recent "AARP Bulletin" asked a disturbing poll question. "Is America ready for a Mormon president?" I suggest the bigoted question was asked not because candidate Romney is a Mormon, as is Democratic leader Harry Reid, but because he's a Republican presidential candidate.

From my perspective, a more appropriate poll question for senior citizens would be "Is America ready for a president who voted to give illegal aliens our Social Security benefits (Clinton and Obama)?" When will our benefits have to be cut so the fund can pay full benefits to all the illegals and their relatives?
Our rule these days is recycle all the AARP material before reading.
