Last Word on Kesha Rogers Candidate for CD22

It is unfortunate that a person such as Kesha Rogers can file to be the Democratic Candidate for Texas House District 22 for a number of reasons. Why any Democrat would run in this area after the lessons of 2006 and 2008 is beyond me. This is probably why she ran. She is not a Democrat.

2003
CD 22 is a heavily republican district. It was designed that way in 2003 when Tom DeLay and Rick Perry re-redistricted. The district in 2003 was 65% republican and was reduced to 60% by giving a bone to CD9 in order to move the NASA facility under the control of Tom DeLay.

2004

In 2004 DeLay had the first legit challenger from Richard Morrison, an attorney from Sugar Land. Richard had a truly grassroots campaign with lots of energetic volunteers willing to work for him. It was a fun campaign, but with the 65/35 district, he lost. Richard has since become a very successful County Commissioner in Fort Bend County.



2006
In 2006 Congressman Nick Lampson the long term Congressman out of CD9 challenged Tom DeLay who then quit Congress after being indicted for money laundering. DeLay filed suit to have his name removed from the ballot but lost so Houston City Council Member Shelley Sekula Gibbs ran as a write in. And lost.


2008
With no ballot controversy and a Black candidate for President on the ticket, the white folk in CD 22 came out in droves to flip one of the few seats in the country (it might have been the only seat to flip) to restore their 60% republican voting record. (Palin/McCain won by 68%) NASA was now in the steady hands of a rookie. (How has that worked out for you?)


LaRouchie.

Only an idiot with no political sense would run in this district, so Kesha ran. She is a member of the LaRouche "Hitler" Youth Movement that attached themselves to the Democratic Party like a dog humping your leg. I made the mistake of reaching out to them when I first became politically active. It took a year to get them to stop calling me.

They are strange. Some of their leaders smell (I am not kidding). When they were block walking for their LaRouchite values they would sing at the door step. (Again. Not kidding) They have a relatively young group of people who walk around reciting the talking points of  "Intergalactic Space Trade" (really). The LaDouche movement is much like the Teabagger movement except without the racism.

Why did she win the nomination?
Keisha won on ignorance. The clubs and party in the area did little if anything to warn voters of her insane positions. She was also at the top of the ballot, the very first person you could vote for. So statistically she had an advantage. She had no campaign. No money. No plan. No field work. She was lucky. We were not.

The Last Word
Kesha is not an embarrassment to the party. She is a loon. We embarrassed ourselves by not getting the word out to voters. So, what do we do? Nothing. Like a dog humping your leg, sometimes it is best to just let them finish.

And that is the last word on Kesha Rogers Candidate for CD22.

At least from me........
