Conclusions reached on little data seem to boggle the mind of anyone who has been taught to view results of research closely to determine exactly what the results do tell us. Senator Grassley is clearly not a researcher. A recent article in the Washington Post by Lon Montgomery and Perry Bacon, Jr. states: "After being besieged by protesters at meetings across his home state of Iowa, Grassley said he has concluded that the public has rejected the far-reaching proposals Democrats have put on the table, viewing them as overly expensive precursors to "a government takeover of health care." To me, his illogical conclusions prove that he cannot function rationally, logically, or intelligently as a Senator. That bit of conclusion leaping does not reflect careful, empirical thinking.
