I think what we have here is a matter of respect, so that when someone is as far left as they can be, everything else seems far right. In reality AARP is not one way or the other. Not left not right. I remember not long ago there was a bunch of maca people saying that the AARP was too far left, LOL. They were so upset with it that they even decided to create their own organization. I don't know what happened to it, it was kind of a laughable exercise and futility. I'd be surprised if they still existed. They certainly do not have the influence or clout that AARP does..
