At the California Republican Party’s convention earlier this month, chairman Jim Brulte announced 2014 would be the year of “pushing the party outside of its comfort zone,” and introduced four candidates vying to take on incumbent Gov. Jerry Brown in November.

Champ said:

“They shouldn’t dwell on my past. They should be looking at the future of California and what I can do,” he said.

What you can do is....keep dreamin'.

Precisely. Past is prologue, especially for Mr. “99% of the time”.

“Sex offender and Manslaughter”, just watch, they will spin this to make it sound like he may have some hidden character flaws.

Ya think?

I prefer Jerry Brown to a sex pervert and killer.

Never thought I’d have a nice word to say about California’s incumbent governor on a conservative forum.

But if all the GOP can serve up as its candidate is a sex pervert and murderer, I’ll stay in my “comfort zone.”

Sheesh!

“Champ said he is running on a campaign that promotes “American Christian values,” supporting tax breaks for businesses and gun rights and opposing same-sex marriage and abortion “99 percent of the time.” Champ said these issues are what California voters should be focusing on.”

no more rinos, this guy sounds like a solid conservative to me.

Glenn Champ, who is listed as an “engineer and businessman” on the state election website, has a lengthy rap sheet. He was nabbed for picking up an underage prostitute in 1993, which resulted in him pleading guilty to two counts of assault with intent to commit rape and becoming a registered sex offender.
In 1998, Champ also pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter. An Associated Press article at the time said authorities accused Champ of running over a competitor in the garbage collection business with his truck after an argument, killing him. Champ told FoxNews.com the incident was a "tragic accident."
He received 12 years in prison and says he served 10 and three-quarters before he was released in 2009.

Champ said he is running on a campaign that promotes “American Christian values,” supporting tax breaks for businesses and gun rights and opposing same-sex marriage and abortion “99 percent of the time.” Champ said these issues are what California voters should be focusing on.

I think I will pass.

I guess we’re so dump that all a sex offender killer candidate has to say is, “I identify with American Christian values”, and viola! Conservatives vote for him. /s

Yep, every good Conservative I know has served decades for manslaughter and is a registered sex offender. /s

Oh wait! Are you nuts, or are you just playing a person that is on the forum?

I don’t know a single Conservative that matches this guys record.

Well, that’s just nuts — but he also opposes 99% of abortions, gay ‘marriage’, and supports tax cuts and gun rights. The others aren’t quoted about it. Partisan Media Shills ping. Thanks This Just In.

If he ran as a Democrat he might have a chance, Republican not so much.

Jerry the fairy is a sex offender but I haven't hears of him being a murderer.

He was arrested and booked into the Sierra Madre Sheriffs station for child molesting in 1958.

His father, Pat Brown, and Jessy Unruh got him out within 2 hours and had the record expunged.

I’m sorry, SunkenCiv, but I don’t trust a convicted sex offender killer even if he tried to sells us on the, “opposes 99% of abortions, gay ‘marriage’, and supports tax cuts and gun rights.” platform.

At the very least, he speaks like a politician.

I agree, as a Mayor or in a black Congressional district he would still be measured by how militant he was for liberalism.

I’d vote for him over Obama. Any day. Jerry Brown, too, if those were the choices. Thankfully, we have better choices.

And he did over ten years in prison, and it’s not a great place to pick up good habits, particularly when one has run down someone with a vehicle and jumped an underaged prostitute.
