Meet Bob Kelleher, the Republican nominee against Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) this year.
He is an 85-year-old attorney with some downright unconventional views. He believes the American system of representative government should be replaced by a parliamentary system. He calls for socialized medicine, advocates nationalizing the country’s oil and gas industries and believes taxes should be raised significantly to eradicate poverty.
It’s not the standard GOP platform, but nevertheless Kelleher defeated four other candidates in the primary to claim the Republican nomination.
Among those he bested were former state House Majority Leader Mike Lange and businessman Kirk Bushman, who had courted statewide donors and visited Washington to meet with national party representatives. It was Kelleher’s first victory after 15 losses as a Democratic Party and Green Party candidate.
Needless to say, the Republican Party wants nothing to do with him.
This guy doesn't sound too bad, calling for nationalization of key industries and UHC. If you check out his website he has a few issues I don't agree with, but he sounds pretty good.
What do you guys think, I mean I wish this guy was a Democrat, but I haven't heard too much of Sen. Max Baucus so I can't judge right now.
He may be the wrong party, but he seems to be right on some key issues.
