Summary of Grassley horrible, horrible very bad week in Iowa
Advertisements [?]
Poor ol' Chuck is having a hard time denying what was caught on video.
Here is a very summary of poor Chuck's horrible, horrible very bad week in Iowa.
Remember that Chuck is showing real vulnerability in the polls:

===============================================
The Des Moines Register:

A thistle to Sen. Chuck Grassley for wanting to have it every which way on health-care reform. First he worked as part of the Gang of Six to craft a bipartisan bill, and got plenty of his own provisions included. Not long after, he began railing against the bill and ultimately voted in lockstep with Republicans against it. Now Grassley is talking up all the good things he put in the law - a law he didn't help pass and worked to defeat. And Grassley's sudden conversion gives lie to the Republicans' plaint that they were frozen out of the process by Democrats.

Grassley's response to the Des Moines Register thistle

The Register's March 28 Thistle misses the point. I worked extensively to try to improve access to affordable health care without expanding the size and influence of the federal government.

Unfortunately, not even the Grassley measures kept in the bill, and there were a number of them, will save taxpayers from the massive debt and unfunded liabilities that will result from the new health care law.

Your thistle also implies that the only way to get things done is partisan, which is a poor reflection on the Register.
