Harry Reid...? - (Hysterical laughter!) ;-)
agreed, and I am NOT a Republican.
didn't past the purity test. probably openly disagreed with MoveOn
Frankly, I'm hoping that all those who have a flighty relationship with the notion of Progressivism, get the axe. But then again, that is "assuming" that is one of the possible reasons why Bill Goold was fired.
This is a BIG slot to fill so this process may be quite interesting...
Is Waxman part of this?
Waxman is owned by Healthcare and Insurance! He may have something to do with this:
Campaign Funds Opensecrets.orgg] - Very High for a House Member

His Bigget Donors Include:
American Hospital Assn $71,000
American Medical Assn $65,000
American Society of Anesthesiologists $52,500

Since there were NO reasons stated WHY Bill Goold was fired, I think you just might be getting ahead of yourself for the time being...
Good Grief. Any politician that has name recognition regardless of the Party are "owned" Corporations are the new slave owners in this country. Tax campaign contributions at 25% to the giver and the taker and things may change.
LET THE VETTING BEGIN... I'm sure they'll get someone better to replace him.
Maybe they fired him because he wasn't doing a very good job at "honing their messege".
Because he's a closet conservative? HAHA lol
