Don’t forget McQuigg! She’s got a lot to lose here. She has chosen to support Gill, as her successor, instead of remaining neutral. Lucy Beauchamp could have a field-day with this. I am sure that there was some pressure applied by Kopko, against McQuigg, to support Gill (as in, support Gill, you get a friendly convention). I was supporting McQuigg for Clerk, but now I have doubts about her judgement too.

Since I don’t live in the 51st, I will answer the question differently.

If Faisal is the nominee then we will alert those who have opposed Faisal in the past as to what happened. You can see who those people are by simply googling Faisal Gill.

One of the posters here already discussed Gill’s current activities with Michelle Malkin, who expressed interest. If Gill were the nominee then Gill’s candidacy would go from being a potential problem to a concrete threat. It would become worth writing about.

We will make sure that everyone knows who was responsible for the Gill nomination. That includes Gill’s 3/31/07 endorsees Ken Cuccinelli and Bill Bolling.

It is completely possible that a second negative swarm of anti-Gill material will flood the web. Efforts will also be made to feed information about Gill’s terror lobbyist/foul driving/Asim Ghafoor/Abdurahman Alamoudi/immigration law firm partner past and present to the Dems.

The Dems will have several hundred thousand to spend on this race, and they will pick the anti-Gill information which they want to use, as Julie does now.

Anyone who thinks that Faisal and his backers Cuccinelli, Bolling, Lingamfelter and Stewart are in the clear if Gill is the nominee had better think again.

Mike May just renominated Faisal for the PWC Housing Board.

This absolutely stinks.”

John Mark, I couldn’t agree with you more.

See Charles? This is called Intellectual Honesty. You might want to acquaint yourself with this term.

Yet in January Kopko accepted money from Faisal Gill on the grounds that he didn’t think there would be other candidates.

Kopko’s behavior is contradictory. If he took money from Gill because he thought that there were not going to be any other candidates then why didn’t he certify Gill as the party’s nominee then?

Michelle McQuigg was on the podium at Faisal’s March 31. 2007 campaign kickoff. She told the crowd that she was voting for Faisal.

I use your full name to keep from getting confused with Johnathan Mark. You’re hardly my “whipping boy”, I just like to address each person’s arguments with their names so they know I am responding. Or in this case, since you have expressed concerns with the committee assignments, to call to your attention my assertion that the credentials committee is above reproach.

Since you have personally attacked me several times in these discussions, I thought you wanted more personal attention. And on a serious note, if I say anything that you feel is too personal an attack, please let me know here or in an e-mail, and I’ll fix it. My intent is not to make this “personal” in that sense, but rather to personalize my responses to those who make comments.

Watching, the co-chairs are Mike May and Michelle McQuigg. Do you think one of them is more “co-chair” than the other?

“Ballots,” Charles…Freudian slip?”

Well, I wasn’t thinking about having sex with them, if that’s what you mean.

Nope, I meant delegate forms. They aren’t ballots.

The co-chairs of the Credentials Committee are Mike May and Michelle McQuigg.

Anybody want to say those two aren’t trustworthy? I presume they were acceptable to the two candidates, but maybe someone here would like to smear these two fine people as well to make a laughable point.

I understand that each campaign also has a staff person on the committee.

“Charles argues contradictory claims. On the one hand, Charles said that Kopko couldn’t pick a committee in January because perhaps someone else would run. On the other hand, Charles said that Kopko took $2000 from Gill in January because Kopko didn’t think that someone else would run. These two claims are inconsistent. Whatever reason Kopko had for delaying the formation of a committee would also have been a reason not to take $2000 from Gill.”

Wrong, JM. I said they couldn’t pick the committee until they knew who all the candidates were, which they couldn’t know until everybody had filed. If only one person filed, there would be no need to pick a committee, so until Kopko knew there was a second candidate there was no “delay” forming the committee, as there was no committee needed.

And “I” didn’t say the second thing either, Tom Kopko said it and I reported what he said.

The government designated a group that Gill’s partner represents a terrorist supporting group. If you google Faisal Gill there will be all sorts of reasons to investigate groups associated with Gill.

I am sure they monitor alamoudi correspondence from his prison cell.

What is the basis for this statement? His brother may very well be in the FBI, and that is fine with me. But who says so?

Or does he question Faisal law partner?

[Ed note: comment edited]

‘probably related to…or something else?’ By definition everything in the universe is either A or it is something else besides A. Your statement thus encompasses the whole totality of human existence and could never be false.

Wouldn’t it be better just to admit that you do not know, and retract your claim?

Mr. Gill talked about his family and how patriotic he is by being in the navy. His brother joined the army and then went into one of the agencies probably related to DHS or FBI or something else.
