Democrat for Senate: Kill practicing 'gays' Candidate says incumbent Republican not advocating biblical values enough Posted: March 7, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern

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.
"The teaching of evolution works against the liberties we have in the United States," he told the paper. If a person believe in evolution, he or she "has no rights," he's quoted saying.
He also opposes the United Nations, abortion on demand and thinks so-called global warming is a false concern.
Liberal blogger Deborah White was less than thrilled with Keiser's candidacy and the media's response to it.
"What if this hate-filled moron called for the execution of all blacks or all Jews?" she asked. "Would the public outcry be similarly subdued? Would the press still report it as a cute curiosity or merely an alternative viewpoint? Where is moral outrage in 2006?"
White speculated Keiser was planted by the GOP.
"He must be a Republican plant," she wrote. "Please ... someone tell me I'm correct."
Most of us deserve to die.
Pauls book in the bible is my favorite.
The democratic party always has been the party of slavery, death, and control.
This guy would've fit nicely with George Wallace.
Remmember we have a right to Free speech
In reality, not only are dems stuck with moonbats, but they have the least educated too. This guy sounds like George Wallace reincarnated.
Typical of the gross ignoranance and lack of understanding. Naively spoken by someone whose religion was the basis for the worst mass murderers in all of recorded history. The atrocities of Stalin, Mao and their other Atheist friends makes the killings of the Islamofacists look like child's play. Your belief system has done more harm in the 20th century than all others combined by miles. Get a clue!
Where was Moral Outrage during '92 - '02 presidency??
This candidate may be nuts, but I'd vote for him just to shake things up. Alternately, If he was trying for the office of Czar, he's in the wrong race. :-)
92 -02?? ROFL!! oops!
Sounds like a member of Fred Phelps' church.
Just Damn!!
Tried and failed. I believe the first experiment was called Manhatten...
"Keiser, 61, says he's running as a Democrat because that's how he was registered the last time he voted."
What else could you expect? Whenever such things are really looked at, it is the rat who is the bigot.
Methinks DeWine's seat is safe.
I think he's on to something - but in the wrong party.
LOL. True.
bump for later read....
Oh please .. He's running as Democrat .. plus he is a nobody .. that is why the MSM hasn't reported on him
Plus .. he has no chance in hell of winning the Democrat Primary ... so I don't see the reason for this so called blogger to be so upset
