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."
Just the look of "Big Tent" Dean's face would be priceless.
The funny thing is that happened 90 miles from our shores in Cuba. Castro is the king of the Caribbean gaylags, where thousands of gays were subjected to forced labor, torture and murder.
Nevertheless, Castro is still the darling of the Left. Who can understand the schizoid of our liberal friends?
Adolf here will probably get a ton of votes. Interesting to see how many.
parsy, who doesn't underestimate the American public.
So true. I'd be the front page news all over the country, and leftists would be using it to "prove" how Republicans are indistinguishable from the Taliban.
I'd = It'd
Well, close enough. It took about 2 more years to get the stink and the stains out.
The most dangerous part of this guy is that 75-80% of his supposed platform is legitimate and great...
But that other small portion - holy cow! Can you say psycho?
LOL! This is just what the Democrats needed! I can't stop laughing.
I'm not saying either. What I'm saying is that Jesus recognized that everyone, including those who wanted
to stone the adultress deserved to die. He was there
to pay the price for us. That's not to say he wanted
everyone to go on sinning. He did say, "Go and sin no more."
I don't think it's terribly safe for people to call for the murder of gays. Especially not if they're not completely sexually pure.
Don't misread that as support of homosexuality. I'm against it.

So what does have to do with it?
Define prematurely.
Fred Phelps will vote for him.
Right. My point isn't that anyone doesn't deserve death.
My point is that we're not necessarily holy or worthy enough to kill each other.
I wonder what the union dues must be like.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

But first you need to explain who this "LORD" guy is - the one that spoke to Moses and told him to write Leviticus 20:13 - and then explain why Jesus didn't approve of what Moses wrote down?
Huh? You lost me.
*laugh*
