Des Moines Register slams Grassley in editorial
"But Grassley's words in the ad touting the benefit are simply impossible to swallow: "We beat the drug companies before. We'll beat them again."

He can't be serious.

The 2003 Medicare "reform" was not a defeat of drug makers. It was a big, sloppy kiss to them."

Much much more here:

A well deserved kick in the ass.
Roxanne could use some help in toppling one of the biggest Goliaths -and one of the worst - of the senate.
See my sig if you can help.

1. thanks for sharing. I live in Iowa's 3rd district,
and I'm tired of having someone like Grassley selling us short. I fully support Roxanne Conlin.

3. Oh, now, come on
It's impolite to bring up facts when Republicans are desperately trying to convince the rubes to vote for them. If Grassley wants to characterize his career as some populist event, who is anyone to say otherwise? Remember C3PO's advice to R2D2.
