LOL, what friends can tell you are different than in the real world. It's more like an opinion that you don't really need to go by, you can take it with a grain of salt or not... I'm not here to brush you off, but the AA is an insignificant degree that won't really matter, as long as you get the degree you want at the Bachelors level. If you really need to go back to get an AA in Political Science, do that after you've got your BA Political Science (I don't see the need to though as the BA PS is the main goal).
People use the AA as a springboard or a first two-year degree and rarely need a "concentration" from it. Just get as many courses as you need from it to get an AA in General Studies or Liberal Arts, make sure all of those courses transfer into the BA Political Science. That's the "end of the story", as most schools including the AA don't have a concentration, it's just an Associates of Arts. Anyways, check out some of the recommended schools around your neck of the woods and see if there is an "AA in PS".
I highly doubt you would want to wait for it, it could come 5 years, 10 years, 20 years down the road, GO GET THE BA PS! That's the degree which matters most to you. Like me, I've done the ASNSM Bio & ASBA/BSBA in General Management. My Masters I am going to go for has nothing to do with Bio or Business, I am going for an MIS from Hodges then add an MPA from them too!
