Katrina Pierson...Zero objective sources of information.
Health Care Industry...Doing what? For whom?
This isn't school board. U.S. Senator is one of the most important public offices in the nation. Someone just doesn't decide one day, "Hey, I have always wanted to be a U.S. Senator, ever since I got that BA in biology that is."
You may find this difficulty to believe, as I once did, that it is possible that you are somewhat incorrect.
Katrina could have been introduced to an "insider" at a party and that "insider" was so impressed, especially with her "Health Care Industry" "experience", that it was decided she could well indeed be the next talking head.
If anyone has any bio on Pierson I would be interested. I did a little looking and turned up nothing, BA biology 2006, founder of some TEA Party organization but that leaves a whole lot of free time unaccounted for. I saw a video where Pierson was a guest on some Fox show. She is very polished for coming out of nowhere. Almost like she is too perfect. I wonder if her instantaneous arrival as a challenger to Sen. Sessions is not a shot across the bow by the TEA Party that Republican Congressmen and women had better toe the line or they will find themselves with a picture perfect rival out of nowhere themselves.
This is insane. I don't like Sen. Sessions because I watched him try to dismantle the entire government's safety net without a hint of remorse.
Isn't she part Mexican too?
Uh, wait a minute. What's going on here? She's what? Black? You gotta be kidding me. And a conservative at that. She's going up against Pete Sessions in Texas and the Dems can't find anyone to stant up to her.

Black and mexican. Apparently her two most important traits according to all of you?

She isn't running against Senator Sessions, dumb ass.
every time someone is even remotely critical of Obama they are labeled a racist.

Low information voters are generally Democrats.
Something in the back of my head told me there was something odd about that match up but somehow party trumped state in my mind, Sen. Sessions being from Alabama and all. I looked up where I got that from and it was (I think they should have put the 'Rep' there all the same):If there’s one test for the Tea Party on the Texas ballot this year, it’s here—it’s Pierson versus Sessions.
A few notable take aways from the video. She said she was from the Welfare side of the tracks. She was a young single mother. At the age of 22 she decided she would go for that American dream and now has two degrees, and a swimming pool in the back yard. I wonder just how much government help she has had along that path. Is she so ready to cut it off for everyone else still on the other side of tracks? So that the next Katrina Pierson will not be standing in front of a mike but some other, less glamorous activity. Ironically she is standing there how wonderful it would be to all but rid of government all the while being the poster child of government programs. She complains that there are not enough jobs, that if people are lucky they can have two jobs that barely make ends meet. She thinks government is the reason for that? If only businesses were allowed a freer rein being overworked and underpaid would suddenly vanish into thin air. She says she, "Will not be bullied into socialism." What she is being is brain washed into being a corporate mouthpiece against her own best interests.
She referenced Jefferson a couple of times. She gave the quote, "It is an axiom in my mind that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves." She did not give the rest of the quote which is, ", and that too of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This it is the business of the state to effect, and on a general plan." She also gave, "When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality." Here are some other quotes from Jefferson she might use in the future:
BEST QUOTES BY THOMAS JEFFERSON
- The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. (Try that one at the national convention.)
- When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
- The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
- In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to Liberty. (She opened her speech with "Thank God I'm a Texan." Not sure how those two coexist.)

So, calling people racist, bigoted, misogynistic or homophobic for expressing opposite views or criticism of Obama isn't an example of a liberal victim mentality?
That statement of yours is an example of liberal hypocrisy.
Time to face facts.

Should be an interesting race to watch - a real test of the Tea Party's strength in one of the most conservative states in the union.

This is Pierson's five minutes of fame. Two weeks from now she will be "Joe Plumber the sequel" only to have been torn apart from all three sides. I kind of like her. She is smart, hard-working, ambitious, politically motivated, and cares about America. She is crass, extremely crass, but being in Cruz's influence as much as she has that's no surprise. She has the background to really be a great Senator if she ever understands what that background has been. If given the chance I would vote for her as Senator from Texas in a heartbeat, Democratic Senator from Texas that is.
