youtube.com — Sen. Charles Grassley explains to Bob Schieffer why he used comments about "pulling the plug on Grandma" at a health care reform town hall. He actually cited President Obama for first using that phrase at one of his own functions.

Bloody retard. He still can't bring himself to say, my constituents were wrong and I did not try to correct them, and my response probably played up to their fear and increased it.

He said it because he's a liar.

No, he said it because he's bought and paid for by the insurance lobby among others

Typical GOP. This asshat lies to try and get his way, but when that whole deal turns out to be slightly more tricky than he expected, he crawls back and tries to save his own ass.

Why is anyone on the Left defending this health care plan with propoganda like this? The plan is not even supported within top Dem Leadership. I want all Americans to get coverage even as Repub, but it's never going to happen. The Health Care lobbyists are pouring cash into the Dem leadership campaign funds right now ... end of story. Your party always goes to the highest bidder. That's why even though Obama promised you a vote on it in August it never happened. Money talks.

While that is probably true, noupsell, Amoriae got it right the first time. He may be paid to lie, but he's still a liar!
