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'.

[Olog-hai]

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.

[EDINVA]

Character flaws? Heck, in CA that makes him electable.

[RIghtwardHo]

Why on EARTH would ANYONE with a brain support this pig?

[Cheerio]

This would be a resume enhancer if he were running under the RAT ticket.

[reagandemocrat]

Tim Donnelly is the Tea Party candidate for California gov. Seems fine to me.

Go Tim, Go!

[Jim from C-Town]

He must be a Conservative Republican. Had he been a Democrat Sexual assault and manslaughter is rewarded with higher office. Just ash the Pervert Bill Clinton and the champion of Post Birth Abortion Barrack Husein Obama.

[DannyTN]

Surely it’s not the only GOP candidate?

[RginTN]

those who’ve been thru the criminal justice system now have a candidate to consider. He knows what they’ve been thru.

Who knows this guy may have a chance it is California after all.

[Huaynero]

Cali GOP is having another Casey Stengel moment: “Can’t anybody here play this game?” Spreading eastward too!

[DH]

“When in Rome...do as the Romans.”

It’s simply a case of the “go along to get along Republican party doing what it does best.....going along to get along.

Hey! For cryin’ out loud.....it Californicatia after all.

[fwdude]

This would be a resumé enhancer for a Dem candidate.

That would definately make the next legislative session more lively.

[JayAr36]

With a resume like that he is a shoo-in for Gov. in that state.
