.....remain saddened by the elected representatives of the people. Sen. Grassley's below statement ranks right in line with Nancy Pelosi's statement pending the ACA vote that they needed to pass this bill to find out what is inside. (Ms. Pelosi's video statement and related linked in follow up post in this thread)
All sad commentary about the state of our current political system from both sides. Citizens, go about your "other" business, there is nothing to see here; please move along.
Washington (CNN)When Iowa reporters asked Sen. Chuck Grassley on Wednesday about the attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare, his answer was remarkable and revealing.
"You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn't be considered," the Iowa Republican said. "But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That's pretty much as much of a reason as the substance of the bill."Add:

Now to top off an evening of knowledge.........the next episode of the PBS Vietnam series.
Good evening to all.

By the way, your description of Pelosi's comment is not accurate.

The opening thread with its conditions and circumstances to the political absurdities is well beyond my control; and we never receive meaningful replies from those who represent us in D.C.-land.
As I have no intentions of misrepresentation of factual(s) regardless of subject matter, .............hmmmmmmmmmmmm, perhaps time to rest the passion.
Good night,
The comments alone under the medialite explication show how kneejerk reactionaries still insist on their wrong reading. There are so many examples of this. We are truly doomed in the present. It is amazing that this ever became a thing. Even among wingnuts. Wild. She shoulda said 'you have to decide to buy the stock to own it and get any of its rewards.'
>> we never receive meaningful replies from those who represent us in D.C.-land.
Seems to me the rest of her speech somewhat belies this, no?
