AARP isn't sponsoring a Senatorial Debate in TX this election

MSM is reporting that Cong. John Cornyn and his challenger have agreed to two debates, and yet the challenger is whining that Cornyn didn't agree to an AARP-sponsored debate in San Antonio. Cornyn's campaign said that he said he would not agree to a debate sponsored by a special interest group. Cornyn is right.

Let's face it -- AARP is a special interest group forcused on growing the role of government in our lives.

And taxpayers are providing funding for this group. Public funding should be cut off.

AARP wants government-run health care and is a voice for big-government advocates. Members often join for the insurance (which isn't any kind of a deal) and they essentially prey off the most vulnerable in our society.

And the AARP is the most powerful lobbying group in the nation, focusing on keeping meaningful social security reform from ever reaching the president's desk.

They should be cut off completely and exposed for what they do.
