Capturing The Theocratic Swing Voter

Shakespeare's Sister spotted this blast from the past:

Merrill Keiser, Jr., is a trucker by trade ... 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. ...

He tells News 11 homosexuality should be a felony, punishable by death.

She also points out a handy voter's guide for Texas Republican primary voters today by one of Perry's opponents for Governor, Larry Kilgore, who favors

* Execution for crime of murder including abortion
* Execution for crime of adultery
* Execution for crime of homosexual acts
* 1-40 lashes for crime of maliciousness, like graffiti, porn, strip clubs
* Eliminate TX budget for government indoctrination of children. (public education)
* Illegal immigrants should receive a minimum punishment of five lashes, $3,000 fine & deportation

Could it be a plot to make Governor Goodhair look like a moderate?
