Jerry Brown is getting 50% of the Calguns vote? What a joke!
The justification appears to be because he supports Mcdonald. Talk about voting on a single issue! The 8 votes for Dianne Feinstein are almost as disturbing :cuss::cuss:
For me, this explains alot. After reading the endless name calling and immature attacks directed towards UOCers in other threads, I will no longer be supporting that organization. From their comments, it would seem that they're more opposed to UOC than the average anti-gun bay area resident!
So far, the message seems to be: Stand down, Give up your rights, Vote Jerry Brown...
I'm not impressed!
As you shouldn't be. The reasoning of the political leanings on CGN is absolutely absurd and is a microcosmic look into the problemsin this state. Everyone on CGN is doing Pavlovian back-flips, licking their chops, and wagging their tales because Charlie Brownheld out a bone. Meanwhile, Tom Campbell is getting thrown under the bus because he said he would have signed AB962 like our girly man governor, to which I could care less...because he didn't and our GMG did. That boat has already sailed.
Here's how I see it...this state is in the biggest financial mess its ever been in, not to mention the complete lack representation on other important issues, and has been in complete controlof the democratic partyall the while. The last thing this state needs right now is another democrat. Our legislature needs balance, it needs enough loons on both sides of the aisle so we at least have a glimmer of hope that the compromises made will be somewhat middle ground. Any more dems and you get the same, or worse. Too many republicans isn't any better. But right now there is no compromise, no reasonable solutions because its so lopsided.
Further, just about everyone agrees that our 2A rights rest in the hands of the courts. We need the judicialbranch to step up to the plate because the legislative branch has screwed us too much,too many times, for too long. So this being the case, at least as far as 2A is concerned, I don't see much influence coming from the next Gov on this issue. Because ifCGF has it our way, there's gonna be a flurry of positive 2A court outcomes. Which if true, then we'll need abalanced legislature/executive more than ever before.
Regarding the biting of one's tongue and voting for Brown, I may have to bite my tongue and vote for Campbell. Having said that, more than ever before we need folks in office who everyone thought never had a prayer...so on that note I'll be seriouslyconsideringNightingale (I'm a teaparty supporter, and it seems she is too). More than ever before we need representatives who believe what we believe in...the Constitution and the concept of We the People.
We don't need any more bone throwers, any more rhetoric, and we certainly don't need any more promises. We need a governor that will either return us back to a more constitutionally centered form of government or we need a governor that will stop on the non-constitutionally centered enemies from within.
That's how I see it...for what it's worth.
