NEWS - Scott Reed, who’s been the top political strategist at the US Chamber for years, tells me he has resigned, amid a perceived drift to the left at the Chamber on heels of nearly two dozen endorsements of House Dems.

Our write up of the mess at the Chamber, including officials there firing back at Reed.

Chamber folks say they “terminated” Reed. Reed recommends better exec committee oversight and term limits for top execs.

Too far to the left?!?

1. Republicans will stop at nothing

They want to control all of it,everything.

It's time to get vicious.

2. Fuck the Chamber of Commerce

I was a real estate broker & Realtor for 25+ years. Every year it was the same threat, "If you won't join (pay their ransom) we can't recommend you".

It is blackmail under the guise of being the business's "Consumer Reports".

We had a 75-90 agent office, & had two complaints that made it to the RE licensing division over a period exceeding 4 years, & they never gave us a higher rating then "C".

Again, fuck the chamber of commerce.

3. Isn't the Chamber of Commerce the same as a Labor Union?

Workers join together to protect and advance their mutual interests. Businesses do the same with the Chamber of Commerce.

Maybe workers should call their collective efforts the Chamber of Labor.

4. Gosh, that's too bad . . .

Maybe he could get a gig with the visionary climate liars at CEI or Koch Industries?

Kind of doubt they've "drifted left" lately.
