Grassley Criticized By Longtime Iowa Republican In New Health Care Ad

Two progressive groups launched a hard new television ad on Monday, using the testimony of a longtime Iowa Republican voter to attack Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for his opposition to a public option health care option.

“I voted for Senator Grassley in the past
