USA NEXT and AARP

Yesterday I posted here about USA Next and how it is working against some of the AARP positions. From NRO

USA Next is taking its anti-AARP campaign to the next level. Here are some of their points, from a memo released today:

- AARP has never worked to eliminate the double tax on Social Security
benefits

- AARP has regularly opposed eliminating the death tax and cuts in the
capital gains tax

- AARP opposed the marriage amendment in Ohio last year

- AARP has supported gun control measures such as the Brady Bill

IMO, the first two points are legimate issues and AARP is on the wrong side. I don't know if #3 is a legimate issue for AARP, and I am unconvinced on the merits of the Brady Bill.

Captain Ed in North Korea To Return To The Bargaining Table

So once again the grown-ups at the Bush White House have won another round of diplomacy where the Democrats wouldn't have had the nerve to play. It's yet another reason why we're better off with Bush serving a second term than having John Kerry bringing back Madeline Albright for an encore.

Hear, Hear!
