A War Against the British Empire? A Larouchie Wins Democratic Primary in TX-22

Meet Kesha Rogers, the winner in Tuesday's Democratic primary in the Texas Twenty-Second Congressional District that covers much of the south-central portion of the Houston MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) and includes the upscale suburbs of Sugar Land and Pearland as well as areas of the more downtrodden of both Fort Bend and Galveston counties.

Her platform includes high speed rail, nuclear power, desalination plants, food security, pulling troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan so as to put them into space while leading a war against the British Empire. And oh yes, she wants to impeach the President. She's a Lyndon LaRouche "Democrat" and the upsetting upset winner of the Democratic primary over Doug Blatt, an Army veteran and independent businessman.

From her website:

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.”

The results are a complete and utter embarrassment.

The Texas Twenty-Second Congressional District is Tom Delay's old seat and though Democrat Nick Lampson won the seat in 2006 in the wake of the scandal that forced the number two Republican in House to resign, the GOP won back the seat in 2008 with Pete Olson comfortably ousting Nick Lampson by a seven point margin.

Here's a video made for the primary:
