Last week I wrote in this space that Obamacare could be the death of AARP because it would expose to the rank-and-file of the 40 million member seniors group - most of whom oppose Obamacare - how their Washington leaders have been taking them for a ride for many years.
The AARP leadership scoffed at that suggestion, but check out the video of a Dallas AARP meeting in this post by Moe Lane at Red State. The leadership wanted to give the members the usual dog-and-pony show in favor of government-run health care, but the members weren't buying it. So the leaders got up and left. Evidently, you either sit down, shut up and listen to your leaders in AARP, or they abandon you.
If it happened in Dallas, you can be certain that similar scenes are taking place at other AARP meetings all over the country.
Way to go Aunt B, Great post.
You have tied the two together!!
Tell it like it is.

Have fun!
When they sent me materials soliciting my membership, I took a look at them. It didn’t take much to see that the organization was being run by libtards.
People rag on the Birchers, but they had the AARP's number back in the Seventies. Anyone could have seen it, but nobody "respectable" wanted to say so.

Back then you couldn’t prove — or persuade anyone — that the media were the American propaganda organ of the left. Walter Crankcase could lie, and you just looked like a loon for saying it.
