Good. I hate the AARP. All it does is give old people rights they shouldn't have because they're the only lobby guaranteed to get voters. Want to know why there isn't a mandatory eye exam you have to pass to renew a driver's license? AARP lobbied it to death because it "unfairly discriminated against the elderly".

The AARP is little more than a lefty big government lobbying group. If the membership paid attention to what happens to their dues, the AARP would be out of business by noon tomorrow.

*Giant beetle monster* Good...good.

Huh? "Lefty"? They pressure and attack both sides equally as long as it advances their cause of making old people more important than anyone else in the entire country.

No big deal, these are the same senior citizens who won't go to the Country Buffet unless they put Glenn Beck on the Super Jumbo TV.

And give up their AARP discounts? Like hell they are.

This. They are the epitome of "special interest group," in that they will push and prod anyone to ensure that their interests are satisfied.

Can we start cranking the Symphony No. 6 Pastoral and send these old folks home?

I'm not suggesting that we kill old people.

I'm just saying that it would help us balance federal, state, and local budgets, among a host of other benefits.

Not to mention all the money, space, and energy freed up by not keeping mostly vegetative old people in retirement homes.

You know how many Homeless shelters could be made out of retirement homes? Or how many people could be fed with all the medicade money spent on old people who are little more than vegetables?

Neither do I, but I bet it's a hell of a lot! Somebody pull some numbers and statistics out of their ass to back me up!

This man didnt bother to join AARP.

I used to work with an old hag who insisted on always having Fox News on in the break room. I could be sitting there by myself, watching whatever, and she's walk in and turn it to Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity without asking. Then again, she was also generally bitter and racist.

/Cue "cool story, bro"

FWIW, my 90 year old father thinks the AARP is mostly evil.

Meh, their members are all one foot in the grave anyway.

I always enjoy the Seniors on MediCare screaming that the government should keeps its hands off medical care.

I would say "cool story," but there were a lot of these old hags at my last job.

/wonder if my 2 Fark lurker coworkers from that job are still watching to back me up there... yes, guys, it is my "last job" now.

this is why young people need to vote, so this assholes don't hold so much clout. You should hear some of the crazy shiat the elderly in my state (SC) say about political issues. They still think Japanese people are evil FFS.. Yeah...time to change the guard.

An organ (huh huh... I said "organ"...) of the American Family Association? I wondered why the article was so light on facts. "Some senior citizens" carries the journalistic weight of "some people say...."

I'd condemn subby for giving those right wing morons clicks, but I realize he or she intended this link satirically.

Yawn. It's a government program. Of course it's going to be screwed up. What government program isn't?

HempHead: I always enjoy the Seniors on MediCare screaming that the government should keeps its hands off medical care.

Government should keep its hands off medical care if it means cutting their benefits, which this bill does. Only a really simple son of a biatch like yourself would think their was something illogical about that position.

Not if we kill them first.

There is always the possibility that the AARP realize that there are a ton of old folks out there with out any medical care what soever do to being poor. Nothing wrong with wanting *all* to get care.

My only issue in general at this point in time is allowing non-US citizens have the same medical rights.

Actually, more smokers die of heart disease than cancer. Only about 1/3 of smokers get cancer. About half will die from heart disease.
