"You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn't be considered"--Chuck Grassley

"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."

of course he won't do the right thing. Grassley is incapable of doing the right thing!

Be damned the people this bill harms or the constituents it angers, it's what they campaigned on and they're going to make it happen.

The lack of logic there boggles my mind.
