A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio wants to make homosexual behavior a capital crime punishable by the death penalty.
Merrill Keiser Jr. is a trucker with no political experience, but he hopes to beat fellow Democrat Rep. Sherrod Brown in the May primary. The winner will try to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Mike DeWine, assuming he wins the GOP primary.
"Just like we have laws against murder, we have laws against stealing, we have laws against taking drugs – we should have laws against immoral conduct," Keiser told WTOL-TV in Toledo.
Keiser, 61, says he's running as a Democrat because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.
The trucker, who hails from Fremont, Ohio, says there needs to be more adherence to biblical values in government, business and education – something he claims DeWine is not promoting.
"I believe that the United States has been moved in a Godless direction by the courts," he told the Sandusky Register. "To get good men on the court, we need good senators."
Some of Keiser's other positions include defense of the Second Amendment, securing U.S. borders, lower taxes to stimulate the economy, support of Israel and prayer in public schools.
Keiser told the Register the United States should make conversion to Christianity part of the war on terror to teach Muslims the error of their choice in religion.
The candidate also decries evolution, saying it is contrary to the Declaration of Independence.
Might be a good idea to put this guy's DNA in the State database.
This guy could win -or- get thrown in jail for 'hate speach'
Let's see how the thought police handle this
What's his Liberty Post handle?
Needless to say he's a RINO or Dem/Lib plant.
If you do that then we should kill kids who curse their parents and shop lifters as well.
Probably just as well that he didn't register as a Liberterian.
Whoa! Correction! This guy is a Democrat? Jeez...
That's the way to give it some thought, there, Merrill.
We ought to be glad he didn't pick Republican.
It would be a riot if this guy beat Brown after all Brown's backroom dealing to eliminate the vet from Cincinnati from the race. Brown would probably win a three-way race with the vet and the trucker splitting the conservative Democratic primary vote.

"Some of Keiser's other positions include defense of the Second Amendment, securing U.S. borders, lower taxes to stimulate the economy, support of Israel and prayer in public schools."
Even without the nutty gay killing thing, this guy is going to have a tough time in a Democratic primary with that list.
I remember surfing this board many years ago. There was a guy who posted his "Christian Thought of the Day" or something like that.
He sounded a lot like the guy in this article.
"We ought to be glad he didn't pick Republican"
could you imagine what a field day the press would have if he were Republican?
(Paul Hackett said the Republicans were like the Taliban and it,also, barely got mentioned.)
Ummm.....didn't the Democrats just sideline Hackett who basically had the same views as this Keiser?
I guess I spoke too soon when I said I would never support a Democrat, ever....
