Woman who interrupted debt discussion ID'd as candidate for U.S. Senate (Kesha Rogers)

[TexasTowelie]

The woman who interrupted a moderated discussion Wednesday evening between two national leaders was Kesha Rogers, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Sen. John Cornyn's seat.

Rogers caused a stir and briefly derailed a discussion between Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, co-chairs on the committee to solve the nation's debt crisis in 2010, when she began yelling from the back of the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center.

The interruption came nearly an hour into the event, when Simpson was talking to moderator Andrew Card, George W. Bush's chief of staff, about the distrust in Washington between Democrats and Republicans. The three had been discussing contributors to the national debt, such as health care and Social Security, and what would need to be cut and changed to reverse the trend.

"No one is going to trust you guys, because you are sacrificial leaders and they're sacrificing the population," Rogers yelled. "What they're doing right now, this policy was tried at Nuremberg."

[font color=green]As most of our viewers in the Texas Group know, Rogers is a LaRouche supporter and is running on a platform calling for President Obama's impeachment and repeal of the ACA. She won the 22nd district Democratic primary in 2010 and 2012, but received tepid support from the party organization.

I recommend reading the rest of the article since she is a U.S. Senate candidate. The other candidates in the Democratic primary are David Alameel, Harry Kim (not the character on the 90s Star Trek spinoff Voyager), Maxey Scherr and Michael Fjetland. The winner of the primary will probably face the incumbent John Cornyn in the general election. I've noted messages from Scherr and Alameel in my email recently.[/font]

1. I am very familiar with Kesha

She is a nutcase. I am so glad that the State Party has to worry about her now.
