I was a little worried because of all the Dem crossovers for this primary,
but I was hoping for sanity there.

That's a bit disheartening.

But given how Dems on DU savage their own, maybe not so surprising.

Where did you get that from? First of all he is a she, and second of all she never claimed to be Hitler, and if you got that from the link you need to re-read it.

How about we just call the crazy people crazy and not make stuff up about them? They do fine looking like morons on their own.

Kesha Rogers is a most interesting U.S. Senate candidate. She's a Texas Democrat who believes that President Obama, who she often compares to Hitler, should be impeached -- some allege she's even said executed -- for "flagrant" constitutional violations.

However had you bothered to read Geek's post and my reply you would have seen that I was already corrected on my error.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Will the Dems have a better chance if the Republican candidates are so extreme?

How she got on the ballot is a mystery. How the Texas Democratic Party allowed her on the ballot is baffling.

But again, it is proof that one again, black Democrats do not vote for candidates simply based on race. For if we did, she would have garnered much more of the black vote. Those who did vote for her probably didn't know much about who she really was or was misled.
