South Carolina's unexpected Democratic nominee for the US Senate, mystery man Alvin Greene, says he wants to play golf with Barack Obama. But in Texas, another surprise Democratic primary winner, congressional nominee Kesha Rogers, wants to impeach the President. So while South Carolina party officials are still unsure of what to do about Greene's success at the ballot box, Texas Democrats have no such reservations — they wasted little time in casting Rogers into exile and offering no support or recognition of her campaign to win what once was Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay's old seat.
Rogers, 33, told TIME she is a "full time political activist" in the Lyndon LaRouche Youth Movement, a recruiting arm of the LaRouche political organization that is active on many college campuses. The LYM espouses LaRouche opposition to free trade and "globalism" (the UN, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund) and it also calls for a return to a humanist classical education, emphasizing the works of Plato and Leibnitz. On her professional looking campaign website, kesharogers.com, she touts the LaRouche political philosophy — a mix of support for the economic policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the impeachment of President Obama — and calls Obama a "London and Wall Street backed puppet" whose policies will destroy the Democratic Party. During the campaign, she was photographed carrying an oversized portrait of the President with a Hitler-style moustache penciled on his lip.
Texas' 22nd district is a relatively conservative, primarily suburban area west and south of Houston that includes — thanks to DeLay's redistricting efforts — the NASA Johnson Space Center and surrounding aerospace industries, where residents have expressed concerns about cuts in manned space programs. Another major LaRouche-inspired plank in Rogers' platform is support for the colonization of Mars.(continued)

**It keeps getting better and better.**

Well, this ought to be worth a few hundred shares in Orville Redenbacher Popcorn stock.

She would make a great companion for Shelia Jackson Lee. She is almost as goofy.
Is there some kind of contest to out-weird Cynthia McKinney?
At least she has a bit of redeeming value. She wants Obama impeached.
This dingbat is preferable to every Democrat currently serving in Congress. She is also preferable to a fair number of RINOs.
I think we should push for nationally televised debates in both districts.
lol
I’ll take La Rouche people over Democrats.
You go girl!
You just can’t make this stuff up!
Well, at least shew can string two sentences together.
There’s a LaRouche guy in the next town over with a big “Impeach Obama” sign. Don’t know if he’s there every day but he seems to be at the main intersection almost every time I go through. They might be crazy but I certainly can’t argue with that idea.
ROTFLOL It sure does.
What the hell happened and how do we keep it hapening?
According to law there isn't a damn thing they can do about it except bitch and launch fake investigations and make false accusations about voting machines, as if this Greene guy had the resources to pull off any voter fraud.
