Roll Call:
The Congressional Progressive Caucus has fired Bill Goold, its executive director, leaving the House Democrats' liberal wing without a staff-level chief as they head into a critical legislative fight on health care.

Maybe he was caught kissing a feller in a taco restaurant.
Who pays the salary of a caucus exec director?
Me, and I'm running out of quarters. Anybody got change for a twenty?
lol!
The Progressive Democrats are so controlled they couldnt even get a hemp bill passed or get rid of corn and soy subsidies.
The few you can trust are ones that vote against war funding Like Carol Shea-Porter.
Paul Hodes is one I dont think I can trust.
...good put some bad ass' in there and DO WORK....I don't know about everybody else but I'm down with a brand change that is willing to "go".
The article says that it is a personal matter and they cannot discuss it out of respect for Mr. Goold. The article also mentioned that it was bad timing but must be dealt with. This all sounds like some problem that Mr. Goold had and it may have absolutely nothing to do with the progressive organization. I want to learn more before I come to any conclusions or make any accusations.
Yes, lets get the whole story first.
How does someone get a job like this, and why? Aren't our congresspeople supposed to act on their constituents behalf? And, they need someone to tell them just what this is....?
Being progressive does not mean demanding lube first.
Maybe it's because he was entirely ineffectual in stopping the Obama Administration from announcing MASSIVE CUTS to Medicare medicaid (like $155 BILLION in hospital payments just announced yesterday)
What the h~ck are you talking about? The $155B in "cuts" is what the hospitals, thru their national professional associations, have committed to accept as cost reductions that will reallocate to expanding coverage to the currently uninsured.
The cuts are taken by the hospitals, not Medicare.
Another example of Right Wing UnInformation. Too bad, they could really make some good bowling pins
You may want to re-read about that.......... untrue, false, nope, nuh-uh. Nobody cut anything "to" medicare.
i am very interested in the reason for this.
The first rule of Progressive Caucus: You do not talk about Progressive Caucus
my problem is: i'm ignorrant of the facts.
were's the new comment at?
Waste of time.
the opinions expressed here do not necessarily represent those of the guy in the photo
but sometimes they do.
Wasting space.
I'm betting they want someone with more energy, newer ideas, new connections. In other words someone who looks less like a republican. I know. Age discrimination.
First time he makes the news is the day he's fired. Just has to be living wrong.
Maybe they caught him taking bribes, like the blue dog democrats take bribes from the health care profiteers.
Maybe he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
