| AARP Asks Democrats To Remove Their Name From Their Attack Ad |
| 2014-10-05 |
| [BUZZFEED] The AARP is asking the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to remove them from an ad attacking Republican Michigan senatorial candidate Terri Lynn Land. The ad “Deserve” cites the AARP in attacking Land. “Michiganders deserve a Senator that will fight to preserve the Medicare guarantee, not Terri Lynn Land who would slash benefits, raise prescription drug prices, and force seniors to pay thousands more each year,” the ad states. AARP front man Matt Hornbeck told BuzzFeed News, “We’d appreciate if they removed AARP from the ad.” A blurb sent out by AARP noted they did not authorize the DSCC to use their name in the ad. AARP does not endorse candidates or make contributions to political campaigns or candidates. “AARP did not authorize the use of its name currently running in the campaign ads,” the blurb states. |

| #8 Same tired, old, Democrat B.S. "Throw grandma over the cliff; they (Pubs) want to rob SS and Medicare; they want to take stuff away from our children..." The ads didn't mention the part where Donks want to flood the border with illegals who will take away jobs and drive up health and welfare costs? Or the part where they are in favor of minors getting abortions without parental permission? Or the part where they want to steal elections via voter fraud. Or the part where you can keep your doctor and your insurance. Or the part where they left people behind and forgot about them in Benghazi? I guess I forgot the part where they messed up the school system, screwed up the Middle East, and gave us Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, and let Central American kids come up to the U.S. with no regard for the health and education problems created in our system. I didn't see any of these in the ads. Anyone still believe the Donks? |

| #7 My wife's AARP membership expires on Oct 14, and they have blistered our mailbox with their material for the last 3 months. No, we are not going to renew, I want nothing to do with this group of insurance pirates after their "support" for Obey-care, death panels and all. Will not vote for a Demon-crat as long as I breath. Anti American Reprehensible Pirates |

| #4 Sounds like AARP doesn't like it when it's too obvious which side they are rooting for. |

| #3 Besides, I figgered out their political orientation without it being attached to political ads. Meaning, the horse is already out of the barn, AARP. |

| #2 Yep, the same AARP, insurance front, that was a cheerleader for Obamacare, running attack ads against those who were raising warning signals about what it was. |

| #1 AARP did not authorize the use of its name currently running in the campaign ads Meaning the AARP didn't get generously reimbursed for the use of its name, like it does with insurance companies. |
