I'm sure glad this guy is not a Republican

TOLEDO -- Merrill Keiser, Jr., is a trucker by trade, and he's hoping his next journey takes him all the way to Washington. His goal is a seat in the US Senate, but first he has to make it through the primary that will determine which Ohio Democrat will be the November ballot.

The Fremont man is causing some controversy with one of his beliefs. He tells News 11 homosexuality should be a felony, punishable by death. "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 says.

Keiser has no political background. He says the only reason he's running as a Democrat is because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.

Any wagers on how well he'll do in the May primary?

if the seat is stongly held by a repub, he may not have much competition ... still, that statement may inspire people to vote for anybody BUT him ... all he had to say was he was for term limits, stopping illegal immigration, and a balanced budget ... saying he would jail homosexuals may have just lost him his Mom's vote LOL
