Reply #8: What's actually going on with AARP? [View All]

The story I heard was that they had gotten a stealth Repug CEO, in something resembling a hostile takeover, and he was the reason they supported the Medicare drug plan. I've heard recently, but not heard anything specific, that someone else is now running the show and that's why they're back to their more traditional self. But I don't really know if either of those stories is true.

My membership is up for renewal and I've been delaying doing it until I find out whether I really want to or not.

Anybody know what the real story is? I know a lot of members left because of the Medicare drug thing. I've suspected that DeRoveFristLay would be happy either to take it over or destroy it by driving the membership away, and they were probably gleeful at the loss of members.
