Video: AARP walks out on its own members when questions about health care legislation are brought up!

Here's the video:

That sort of behavior is nothing short of elitism. A disconnect between leadership and membership. Happens all the time with unions, special interest groups, etc. The bigger the organization, the more of a disconnect there is. There is no more stark of an example than what is happening in the political ranks these days. The political elites are ramming through legislation that is not wanted by the majority of those they represent. Yet, they are doing it anyway. And instead of listening to their constituents, they are instead attacking them.

The AARP, by the way, is no longer the organization it was once was. It is now just another appendage of the liberal movement. Like the NOW and its attacking Sarah Paling, and the NAACP attacking Clarence Thomas, AARP no longer complies with its stated purpose. Should this health care boondoggle pass, no group will be more negatively affected than seniors. Yet here is the AARP snubbing their own membership to help push this through anyway.
