McCain & AARP

The latest issue of AARP magazine (September/October 2008) has a ‘Voters’ Guide’ section. The magazine posed a series of multiple choice questions to each of the candidates. The issues were health care (Medicare, Insurance) & finances (Social Security, Investment Portfolios). There were about a dozen items to choose from. For each item AARP also took a position. Without going into detail, 11 out of 12 times Obama chose the same responses as did AARP. He declined to respond to 1 item. McCain declined to respond to all 11 items! So much for the ‘straight talk express’. How about the ‘no talk’ or better yet ‘double-talk express’.
