Let me take it one step further. The Pragmatist R’s need to vote out the Ideologues. They’re dangerous.

The “pledge” is only applicable when both parties have integrity.
I will support CADDIGAN, NOHE, COVINGTON, MILLER, ROYSE, BEAUCHAMP,
LUCAS (the real winner), Gray, Arnaiz, Obrien AND PANDEK this election, screw the pledge, it’s meaningless!

Mike May may not be an ideologue, but he has no backbone. He does whatever Stewart tells him. Getting involved with the 51st was dumb, and now you’re going to pay.

IDEOLOGUES BOUGHT OFF BY GILL (His time is up in 2008)

“There’s no question that the events at that convention will hurt a great many Republicans this November, and beyond…unless the appeals process leads to some real reform in the PWCRC and in the RPV Party Plan.”

You are absolutely right!!

Although a life-long Republican, I can never support an elected official who considers their own political career so important as to support ANY candidate with the background of Faisal Gill. …and James, before you even start, it has nothing to do with race, religion, ethnicity nor skin color.

As for Stewart and Mcquigg, they both knew of the Gill history…and despite his protestation of innocence, a person worthy of respect and trust would have NEVER allowed such questionable relationships to develop in the first place. Likewise, knowing about that history, knowing about the uniform violation, and knowing about his driving record, an elected official worthy of my trust and confidence would have never supported a candidate such as Faisal Gill.

Corey Stewart and Michelle McQuigg were warned that there would be a cost involved with their choice, regardless, they chose to support him for the HOD position. I will do my best to make them “pay” — no, not with money, but at the ballot box. I want them unseated and to become private citizens in shame. I trust that there are a number who agree with me.

Guaranteed it hasn’t HURT her chances, Jonathan. She could well wind up with some support that might have gone to Michele previously. There’s no question that the events at that convention will hurt a great many Republicans this November, and beyond…unless the appeals process leads to some real reform in the PWCRC and in the RPV Party Plan.

Jim, do people actually hire you for your writing skills? Google shows 897,000 hits for “race card” and a mere 23,000 for “racist card,” whatever that is.

“Race card” is a common expression:

“”"Playing the race card is an allegation often raised against a person who the accuser feels has unnecessarily brought the issue of race or racism into a debate so as to obfuscate the truth. An allegation of playing the race card is almost always a controversial one.”"”

She is silent on Kopko’s perversion of the rules and his current obfuscatory delaying tactics in sending Julie’s appeal to the 11th District.

She is silent on Kopko’s collecting $2000 from Gill. None of these actions reflect well on McQuigg.

Furthermore, she is only running to get a bigger pension. Tough. What kind of a pension do most of us have? Why elect someone who is unfit for the office and supported Terror Lobbyist #1 Faisal Gill?

As Mr. T might say, Lucy ain’t no fool.

McQuigg isn’t much better. Her lack of attention to detail contributed to the mess that is the 51st. Beauchamp and McQuigg….hmmm…who to chose?
