Grassley, in his last term, has proven himself to be senile and has abandoned conservatives.

It would probably help your case if you were to cite a few specific examples.

The two things I can remember are (1) he was a major player in the Colossal Medicare Prescription Drug Giveaway, and (2) a couple years ago, he killed the Senate Energy Bill when he found a way to attach to it $50M+ for his idiotic Iowa Child Project indoor rain forest "tourist attraction" a.k.a. "The Pork Forest." (He eventually got the $50M by burying it in an omnibus appropriations bill; unlike energy bills, appropriations bills are immortal).

Please remind me of some other examples. I must admit I tend to forget bad memories.
