I am a republican-----I have voted independent (though rare), but NEVER democrat.

I do consider myself a more moderate republican in the sense that i do think there should be more stricter laws regarding the environment.

Other than that, I'm republican all the way, I support Ernie Fletcher for Kentucky Governor this year, I support George W. Bush, and especially our troops at home and abroad.

I am a registered Democrat. If I think another candidate would do a better job, I'll vote for them. But, so far, that hasn't happened. :p

I think you should support Lyndon Larouche.

all you moderators that have posted your political affiliation on this thread had better go back and delete your posts.

Don't you know that in order to be a "good" and "fair" moderator you can't have any opinions of your own and must be a straight down the middle kind of person? Oh wait, unless you're a liberal of course :rolleyes:

FOR SHAME on you moderators that have political leanings, you have no legitimacy in my eyes.

Wanna join the Green Party?

I can't rudey.

I'm conservative.

Or as some on GC have apparantly decided, an uber-Nazi.

whoa whoa

Pink? burning?

I ain't no flamer. We Uber-nazis despise homosexuals. We even have special pieces of flair we make them wear. Little Rainbow 'A's for ABBA.

KS 361 times i can't be a Nazi and a Commie

OH NO!

Am I OK since my leanings are so "vanilla?" Or do I need to take an unyielding stance one way or the other -- depending on which of my fellow mods you listen to, the conservatives or liberals? Yes, believe it or not, I think we have both.

I hate to start off this moderator thing with two strikes against me.

On the other hand, not cleaving to one strict ideology makes it so much easier in the voting booth when the choice is between a reasonably qualified candidate whom I like vs. some idiot from a group I generally claim to be a part of who has ideas I find stupid.

But, then, I usually feel like both "sides" have some decent planks in their platform, and choose the side I agree with most.

Kinda reminds me of that old cheer: "Lean to the "Left", Lean to the "Right", Stand Up, Sit Down, Upchuck twice. Wait, I think I made that last part up. Just the way I feel presently.

All of this because I don't want to be painted with the same brush as 74 other moderators. I doubt that any of us do.

Edited to fix another dumb typo.

DA,

Was merely pointing out that some apparantly believe that one's political affiliation plays a major part in their ability to moderate a Greek website. I for one think that one's political stance has little to no bearing on their abliltiy to be a fair and capable moderator. Although Munchkin and I (Munch, just using you for an example) do not see eye to eye on some things, i think she is a relatively level-headed person and think she would make a fair mod.

My entire post was meant tongue-in-cheek for certain individuals who know who they are.

Burn this pansy liberal!

-Rudey

Exactly...and as an example, I don't think AXO Alum and I could differ any more on political issues.

Plus, I don't see how my voting affects my ability to moderate the Gamma Phi Beta forum. If it did, I'm pretty sure I never would have been approved to be a mod, because we all know how much my little heart bleeds. ETA: I do, however, think my political ability would impair my ability to mod any type of political thread, since I have a huge bias in one direction. This, among many other reasons, is why I should never be a Chit-Chat mod.

Kitso, maybe you should shoot John a PM and ask him about this, he might be able to help you.

-------------------------------------

And to bust this back on track, when I was little I was a Republican. I mean really little - like 8. It was the "cool" thing to do at my Catholic school.

thank you.

you have proven my point well.

Hey Kitso,

I believe you -- but I know it's hard to express sarcasm in the printed word -- unlike with vocal or facial expressions.

Especially when someone having a difficult day like me reads it.

In any event, the member who originally began this thread did so with the express hope that it didn't get into a political argument -- but rather out of curiousity of how we label ourselves.

I voted in the Marijuana Party
