You know I was always under the impression it was the Republicans in Texas who are nuts. I would look to the Texas Democrats as proof that there is always hope. That there would be an occasional check to the crazy. That in the long run common sense would prevail, but alas I fear Texas is lost for good at least those in the 22nd district. If you have family in Texas 22nd get them out while the getting is good.
What has caused my deep concern, nay dare I say panic attack?
Meet Democratic primary winner from the 22nd Kesha Rogers or should I say LaRouch Democrat Kesha Rogers.
I give you the press release from yesterday's win -
Houston, March 3, 2010 – The victory in the 22nd Congressional District yesterday by LaRouche Democrat Kesha Rogers sent an unmistakable message to the White House, and its British imperial controllers: Your days are numbered. Kesha's campaign hit relentlessly at a single theme, that President Obama must go, that his attacks on this nation – with his dismantling of the manned space program, his efforts to ram through a fascist, killer “health care” policy, his endless bailouts for Wall Street swindlers, while demanding budget cuts which will increase the death rates among the poor, the sick, the elderly and the unemployed – are not acceptable, and will not be tolerated.
Skeptics said that LaRouche's approach is impractical, it won't work, that Democrats will never support someone who is calling for the President's impeachment. Obviously, the voters of the 22nd district disagreed with those skeptics, as Kesha received 53% of the vote against two opponents. As Kesha told the Galveston Daily News last night, when a reporter asked if she expected support from the Democratic Party in the fall election, “I am leading a war against the British Empire. I'm not worried about what Democratic Party hacks say or do.”
I am now convinced more than ever that there is something in the local water. People get out while you can.
Folks I would put a snark tag on this, but that would imply that the above isn't true. So while I do find Kesha hysterically funny I find her winning of the primary anything but funny. It's fucking sad!
Note: there has been a headline and body copy change. It seems I was offending and pissing off Texans who felt I was painting with too broad a Bbrush in calling Texas as a whole out for being a bit loony.
