“Impeach Obama” Says Texas Democrat Kesha Rogers
July 26th, 2010
A Black Democrat, Kesha Rogers, who won the Democratic Primary for the 22nd Congressional District outside of Houston Texas with 52.3 percent of the vote; is calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama. It was a landslide victory, with her competitors only receiving 28 and 20 percent of the vote.
Rogers makes no real argument for impeach. She only cites that the Glass-Steagall Act wasn’t restored, and Obama’s continuation of the Bush administration’s corporate bailouts, along with a lack of a repeal of the Patriot Act and that “my campaign has been built on the necessity of impeaching Obama in order to save NASA.”
Of course these are not at all impeachable offense, but just political disagreements that Ms. Rogers has with the president. I don’t like your politics, does not an impeachment argument make.
Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states:
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Read some of here platform bullet points at the bottom of the post.
Her reference to, and over use of the phrase “the population” in place of what most people would call the public, is another oddity of her disposition. You can here repeated examples in this interview from her primary victory night. Again, what you won’t hear is an actual argument for impeachment, except that she doesn’t agree with Obama:
Her website’s biography introduction states:
I have fought long and hard on behalf of the ideals and principles of the true Democratic Party best represented by Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon LaRouche, even at the expense of happily putting myself at odds with the now discredited ‘mainstream’ leadership of my party.
Bottom-line Analysis
It’s one thing to quarrel with Obama’s politics; but for a fellow party member to taken on the banner of the extreme of the other side such as the Obama as Hitler picture below, brings things to farcical obsurdity:
Kesha Rogers seems to be driven mostly by an exibitionist desire for attention by using shock jock tactics, and she may also be a little on the mentally crazed side as well. Here are points to back up both of these assertions:
1. Backing up the first, she doesn’t simply have some points of disagreement or critique of Barack Obama, but she spends all of her time campaigning against the president of her own party, as opposed to campaigning against her actually opponent for the seat that she’s running for. What happened to all politics are local?
2. As to the the asscertion of mental deficiency: she wants to colonize Mars for human habitation. She’s literally said so. It’s actually one of her main capaign platform agenda points. We haven’t even gotten to mars, but she thinks we can live an Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall type of existence in the near future.
Ultimately, Rogers may just be playing power broking politics; plain and simple. Her views may not be real views, and her only motivation may simply be the aquisition of power. See Rogers is running on the Democratic ticket in the heavily Republican Texas 22nd district. The seat that until a few years ago was long held staunch conservative Tom Delay.
She may have made the calculation that she had no chance to unseat Pete Olson in a Republcian primary; but that if she could win the Democratic primary that she might then be able to put together a coalition of disaffected Democrats, moderate Dems, and right of center moderates to possibly beat Olson in a general election.
I mean, considering that she’s running in Houstion Texas, the home of NASA; her plans to go to Mars and running to ramp up the space mission seems to be clear pandering to local interest to spur voter support from the “populations”.
Roger’s says:
· He has continued to support the Bush-Cheney wars, which he said he would end, and their so-called Patriot Act, which threatens our freedoms;
· He has continued the Bush-Cheney bailouts of Wall Street swindlers and thieves, and is making it worse, by rejecting true regulatory reform, through his die-hard opposition to restoring the Glass-Steagall regulations of Franklin Roosevelt, and his efforts to kill Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s amendment to restrict derivative trading;
· He continues the Bush-Cheney embrace of financial and business cartels, as in his so-called health care legislation, which the insurance companies, HMOs and Big Pharma love, but which defines the sick, the poor, and the elderly as ‘useless eaters’; or his refusal to shut down BP (BRITISH Petroleum), and apply immediate, necessary emergency measures in the Gulf;
· And, of course, his repudiation of our manned space mission, including the colonization of Mars, which was ardently supported by past Democratic Party presidents, including John F. Kennedy and Texas’s own Lyndon Johnson.
blah blah blaha

Does she have a plan to migrate to the colony on Mars once it is completed?
LOL, I certainly hope so. I nominate her as the inaugural colonist.
NASA is a huge economical pulse for Texas, the loss of would put untold numbers out of work from those who work for NASA from their top employees to the person who sweeps the floor. It would put out of work people in other states who make the equipment for them including the little guy who serves their food, stores will lay off people without their being there to shop etc..
Kim, basically, so what?
You don’t continue to spend gobs of tax payer money on something that’s not needed just to save some jobs. I thought you were with the Tea Party, now you want to give away our money to play ‘lost in space’?
Going by this logic we would still be riding in a horse drawn buggy, because the advent of the rubber tire put tons of wood wheel makers out of business; and motorized engines decimated the horse raising industry. I mean, we would never progress under this thinking; and tax money that we need for other actual needs would forever be wasted on foolishness.
NASA and the space program aren’t even going away, just man spaced flight that has been proven unnecessary. I’m only upset that Obama didn’t go further in slashing the waste that is NASA. We’ve got hungry people, crumbling bridges and an over burden electric grid right here on earth, and space geeks want billions of dollars wasted on space fantasies that produce little, and are a very inefficient return on our investment. Most of what NASA has ever produced came from research and development right here on earth, not from space; and certainly not from manned space flight.

Your right Yobachi about some of the spending I read a report where they spent %600.00 each for tolit seats and not ones that into a space craft and $40.00 for each bolt these are just your standered bolts. They said they do that when they have not spent their buget and have to get it spent before the next budget or they would not get the same amount of $ the next time wasteful yes. But my point is we need jobs not something that will cause the loss of more of them and the money these jobs provide trickle down in tax money that pays for the bridges and roads. Is Obama going to use that money to create more jobs or is it going to go to paying off the dept we have from keeping things above water? Jobs are not being created the very thing that feeds folks and gives tax money for sociaties needs, without them we will soon be a third world country or a Socialist one.
I’d be curious if she’s willing to convict Rove, Bush and Cheney of war crimes.
S. justice, doesn’t seem like it. Her hate seems to be focused on the Black guy.
