Uh......they're wingers.......crazy wingers. Of course, they quit AARP.....its a sane organization.

CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group’s position on health care.

Just words, Mr. President, just words. And, words have consequences. Granted, AARP’s membership number is around 40 million, but, losses hurt, no matter what AARP states at the end of the article.

Many are switching to the American Seniors Association, a group that calls itself the conservative alternative as CBS News Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.

Last week alone, they added more than 5,000 new members. Our camera was there Friday when the mail came.

Letters were filled with cut-up AARP cards.

Obama gets 60K people to cancel their AARP membership!

Hum, your post reminded me to renew my membership. $16 one year. Think I'll write them a note of support.

Thanks.
