Meet "Democrat" Kesha Rogers: Worse Than Ted Cruz

We’ve pointed out before why Ted Cruz doesn’t deserve your vote or political support. However, there’s someone else running for office - as a Democrat - who could make it onto the ballot...and makes Cruz look like a stand up citizen in comparison.

Her name is Kesha Rogers and she thinks Obama starting a thermonuclear war is a legitimate concern. So she wants to execute him.

Running for the U.S. Senate as a “LaRouche Democrat” Rogers has already been rejected by the Democratic Party. The State Democratic Executive Committee’s released its official party position on Rogers’ candidacy. “The Texas Democratic Party will have no relationship with the campaign of any person identifying him or herself as aligned with the LaRouche Movement or Lyndon LaRouche…”

Now, being rejected by your own party isn’t the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes ideological differences can get in the way. What was this Senate hopeful’s ideological difference? Well, to start there’s the fact that her main focus is the impeachment of President Obama and that she frequently and easily compares him to Adolf Hitler - a genocidal psychopath responsible for the deaths and systematic oppression of millions of people.

because people are starting to recognize her name. She also wants to colonize Mars - she has all kinds of ideas.

She has been at a couple of events. In 2010, she was not allowed to attend Senate District convention and in 2012 I was at the ballot draw when she and her supporters were present. She admitted that the Queen of England controls the drug trade and that it was appropriate to show President Obama dressed as a witch doctor.

She was not a delegate at the 2012 state convention but had a card table on the sidewalk across the street calling for the impeachment of President Obama. She is a nut case and believes the LaRouche platform.
