They were for it before they were against it . . . .

It's obviously too late at this point, but it should be noted that in the 2003 Prescription Drug bill of which the majority of Republicans (including Chuck Grassley of Iowa) in Congress and the Senate voted for, there was a provision to fund counseling for end-of-life issues and care.

Now, I know that pointing out the howling hypocrisy of that fact as it relates to recent GOP appeasement of the right-wing nuts and their "death panel" claims isn't going to change anything, but at least for those on the anti-reform side of the debate who still have a sliver of open-mindedness and honesty about them, it just might make you view this whole charade in a different light.
