Lone Star Lunacy as ‘Obama=Hitler’ Candidate Leads Democratic Senate Primary




The Texas Democratic Party is flirting with disaster in the U.S. Senate race. The March 4th primary is fast approaching, and the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll finds that the state’s progressive Democrats are not reaching voters. The headline story from the poll is that Republican Greg Abbott leads Democrat Wendy Davis 47-36 in the probable November Governor’s race. While that is troubling news, the more disturbing news found in the poll, is the Democratic Senate primary results. If the poll is accurate, Texas Democrats are setting up a runoff between a Lyndon LaRouche disciple and a wealthy dental chain mogul who once helped bankroll the campaigns of Mitch McConnell, Rick Perry and several other Republicans.

According to the February poll, Kesha Rogers leads with 35 percent. David Alameel is in second with 27 percent. Maxey Scherr polls third with 15 percent. Harry Kim is at 14 percent and Michael Fjetland garners 9 percent support. Rogers is a follower of conspiracy theorist Lyndon LaRouche. She carries posters of Barack Obama sporting a Hitler mustache, calls for his impeachment, and compares the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to the genocidal policies of the German Nazis in the 1930s. Like most Lyndon LaRouche followers, she also thinks the United States is being secretly controlled by a cabal of London bankers. In addition, she favors expanding manned space exploration and colonizing Mars to prevent “mass extinction of the human species”. Yet, despite her hatred towards President Obama, she sits atop the Democratic Senate primary in Texas.

However, could she be the smartest person in the room? Think about it, she is saying things that the Republicans want to hear, she gets the win and then becomes the liberal Democrat she should be? I mean is that even a possibility? I know I always look at a glass 1/2 full.

Which begs the question: why do anti-Semites like to compare people to Hitler as if it is a bad thing?

Unlike Europe where parties actually stand for principles, in the U.S. anybody can say they are anything and no one can do anything about it. The Parties have no mechanism to say who is or is not a member of a party. In Europe a party can expel you so they aren't hijacked by people who are not in their best interest.
