Default Zero CA GOP Governor Candidates Praised or Defended St. Benitez!!!!

What is going on?

I expect CA Dems to lie and ignore facts. St. Benitez specifically said Knives kill 7x more people than AR-15s!!!

Yet, zero CA GOP Governor candidates defended St. Benitez or praised his decision.

WTF is going on??? Why don't CA GOP defend St. Benitez?

Might be a strategy to help getting the very ignorant to vote for them ? Although after the Arnold (The Puke ) who knows how they view this brave, decent and heroic ruling by Judge Benitez.

I will take the GOP response any day over the democrats who've ridiculed, condemned and questioned the sanity of this brave, patriotic, intelligent judge.

BTW what the GOP response is or isn't ? Considering you are not a registered republican !

We're basically on our own. No one in government supports us except Saint Benitez and the County Sheriffs.

And they wonder why CA conservatives don't show up to vote for them.

Because 99% of politicians from both sides are in for the hook ups.. future hook ups and later-on-in-life career networking... plain and simple.. and lets not forget R's in CA have to cater to the voting demographic as well.. they HAVE TO ...

SAINT ROGER, HAS NO NEED OF USELESS POLITICAL ENDORSEMENTS.

He has three overwhelming things backing his words and actions.

RIGHTEOUSNESS ..... US CONSTITUTION ..... LIFETIME APPOINTMENT

As Chuck Michel aptly put it in an Email to all CRPA members. [paraphrased] IMOWs

Quote:
Emperor Hairgel and BoBo Bonta failed miserably at justifying Crap-O-fornia's 32 yrs of unconstitutional AW laws. In a COURT OF LAW.

So they got all pouty and butthurt. And LOWERED THEMSELVES by publicly making slanderous and libelous personal attacks against the JUDGE with THE COJONES that had LEGALLY BEOTCH SLAPPED THEM.


ALL HAIL ST ROGER

Now there is Saint Benitez and Saint Roger. To most people and even many gun owners its probably starting to look rather strange. There is a risk in trying to create a deity.

Has anyone thought what happens if another of his rulings doesn't go the way you think it should? Then what? Does he become the devil?

He is a Judge, not a Saint and probably would rather not be associated with those making little cartoons showing cute little characters bowing down to him. It doesn't help to make him a target of the left, just let him go about doing what he is doing.

Certain people might think its funny or cute or a chance to rally around someone but he is a human being that happens to be a judge. Fall into the game of creating a pedestal and praising hi too much and you're getting setup for something that in the end might make you wish you hadn't gone down that rabbit hole.

Most gun owners have guns as part of their life, guns aren't their life and its all those people that need to vote in favor of getting rid of anti-gun politicians and ingrained career appointees.

There is cause for celebration in his ruling but now going around and calling him a Saint isn't really helping anything and what it does do is create just another target for the left - "look at them, they call the guy a Saint, bow down as if he isn't mortal" and it goes from there.

He's a judge. He ruled correctly and set the stage for better rulings in the future. Turn him into a trophy or a deity and it will come back to bite everyone, just watch. No doubt there are people wearing Saint Benitez T-Shirts or hats, parading around and people who see them wondering just what is the matter with them.

The issue is getting decades old unconstitutional laws overturned and not diluting the message with propping up someone as a "Saint" even in jest or hey, in your face stuff.

Judge Benitez is just one more example of why everyone who values liberty must register, vote and recruit people to the Republican Party.

Judge Benitez was a President W Bush appointee and his RINO dad gave us Judge Thomas.

More weight to the idea that if you truly value liberty, you need to move to a state that embraces it. Like Texas. Unless you like fighting downill in a battle for you lbierty surely to eventually lose it all.

Very true and lets not forget these states enjoy liberty because citizens register and vote republican.

Low GOP registration is the biggest problem we face here.

A smart GOP candidate wouldn't mention it and just make general 2A noises and instead focus on business recovery and crime and homeless bums taking over.

And...Bill's your Uncle!
No one runs on 2A as a major plank in the platform in a Blue State. It gives Democrats a way to smear them and ignore all other major issues. CNN and local newspapers like the LA Times and SJ Murky News would run Op-eds on 2A front page 24x7 attacking such a stand.

Not worth the risk until elected.

Then they can quietly veto all new infringing legislation and support GOP efforts as needed.

Real action on 2A will take the courts and a shift in the composition of the legislature, the governor can just frustrate their attempts at new laws with pocket and outright vetoes.

Better not to bring up gun issues in a recall.

Yup! This is smart. Unless the conservatives want to lose to Newsom on this recall, then bring up gun issue. If this recall shows that it's done only by the gun and conservative groups, then the recall will be lost for sure. The Democrats are already outnumbering the conservatives by what? 3 or 4 to 1? It should be done by the Californians, regardless of political points, have enough of Newsom and want him out. The middle working class is already tired of Newsom's bad policies, and we need it to join on the recall.

Personally I don't think we should politicize the judiciary.

It's already annoying enough that the three leftist activist justices on SCOTUS keep injecting their personal (Democrat) politics into what should only be Constitutional and legal arguments.

Having political candidates openly endorse/oppose judges would encourage judge-candidates to become more openly partisan by seeking the endorsement of powerful politicians (yes, they already do to some degree--I'm saying it would get worse). I'd rather they keep their noses buried in the US Constitution and steer far clear of politics.

The polls are very tight. While they were vastly wrong about Trump so we know they are manipulated, it would be folly to ignore them completely. Therefore it would be wise to focus on the top issues of homelessness, water, fires, electric power, taxes/economy/cost of living, and crime and wait to bring up 2A and immigration after the election.

Most voters seems to focus on a few issues and candidates who tackle too many tend to diffuse their message and weaken it. Larry Elder needed grassroot money, Newsome received huge donations form unions (especially teachers) and PGE. That money is funding deluge of attack ads against Larry Elder in the media

Wife and I already voted, dropped off a city hall, and got text confirmations of receipt. Fingers-crossed for Larry Elder.

It doesn’t bother me at all if Larry Elder isn’t praising Judge Benitez, he’s still the better choice than Newsom. Heck, several other so called Republicans are also better than Newsom.

Yeah, the less support Benitez has from politicians whether they are on our side or not the better. His appointment shouldn't be political, and so far he has served the public interest very well and according to the law.
