As We Members of Different GLOs as well as Members in each, and there was a Brother running with totaly different ideals than Mine, a deffinate NO!

I had two Brothers who were in Kansas State Leg behind each other and I saw nothing that came from either one that did anyone any good.

Each wanted to place Election signs on the lawn of the House and I suggested a strong NO.

It is like having a Business and I will not place anyones campaign sign in My Window.

If there was a strong beleif in My Brother, not because He is My Brother I for one would Vote for Him!

Well, i think the politians views can take them so far... if I know the brother to be of excellent character, I would feel much more comfortable voting for him, then the guy who has the same views as me

No. :)

I don't vote strict party lines, and I wouldn't vote for someone just because they were a fellow sister. That's going a little too far, in my opinion.

I'll agree with that. Character is hard to fake if you know someone -- on the other hand, a candidate's views are normally about 90% based on polls (and as the prominence of the office increases, so does the % of the views tied to polls).

Extremely shameless self-bumping of an old thread - since this is an election year I thought it might be interesting to revisit this old thread. :)

No way

pinksirfidel 08-21-2008 02:17 AM

Nope and nope! It's just plain irresponsible to think otherwise.

PhiGam 08-21-2008 05:32 AM

No way

No. But my dad has been guilty of voting for people running for office for no other reason than they were Sigma Chi.

No!

Elizabeth Dole may be my sister but she won't be getting my vote!

If a brother or sister of your GLO was running for office, would you vote for that person even if their political views were completely different from your own? Would it make a difference if that person was someone you knew personally or not?

I'd vote against my biological siblings if I disagreed with them enough (and I often do) ... so no, and no.

KSigkid 08-22-2008 10:39 AM

Nope.

ThetaDancer 08-22-2008 10:43 AM

Nope, and no guilt.

Drolefille 08-22-2008 03:01 PM

Nope, I've voted against them in student elections before.

My motto:
Just because they're family doesn't mean they're right or that I owe them. Even in sororities you don't get to pick everyone who you're related to.

SWTXBelle 08-22-2008 03:26 PM

Nope.

But if there were two candidates for a postion, equally qualified and no other differences other than one was a sister, and one was not - I'd vote for my sister. But how likely is that scenario to happen?
