''Denounce AARP at every turn. Say goodbye and watch the group wither and die. Let them know they don't represent your interests.''
I haven't agreed with Sen. John McCain much throughout his career.
I didn't support him in his presidential bid in 2008 – having infamously authored the book "None of the Above," for which I make no apologies.
But McCain has hit a new high-water mark politically in recent days.
He pointed out what most Americans perceive as obvious, at this point, that the massacre at Fort Hood could have been prevented had "political correctness" not prevented action against the Islamic extremist who murdered 14 and injured dozens of others.
He accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of a "criminal scheme" in pushing through his plan to nationalize health care.
But, most of all, I liked what he had to say when he urged seniors to tear up their membership cards in the American Association of Retired Persons because of the organization's support of socialized medicine.
I haven't been so proud of McCain since he attacked Hillary Clinton's plan to use taxpayer funds to build a Woodstock museum. He reminded Americans that he couldn't be present at Woodstock because he was "tied up."
Maybe McCain is talking tough these days because he finds himself tied in a bid just to secure the Republican nomination for re-election to his Senate seat in Arizona.

Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, now a Phoenix radio host, could give him a run for his money. Fully 61 percent of Republicans in that state believe he has lost touch with his constituency.
