I saw the humor in the suggestions of Swedish/Nigerian President votes for whatever.<BR/><BR/>But your basic point was that deals are part of politics. It is how things get done and people get elected. That the indies shouldn't be afraid to deal. Even in the absurdities of giving TEP something.<BR/><BR/>You even include the folliwing: "I sounds like a degenerate here and I'm kidding to a great extent, but Dennis' style is bullshit and I wouldn't say so unless it permeated the Indie movement. Indies are dirty too, we always have been, I was brought into Access on a deal, a deal I haggled over, a deal I negotiated, and my terms not been meant in any capacity I'd a been behind Scott. Public office is noble work, but politics is dirty and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll be able to get elected and started carrying out some of that very noble work you'd like to perform for the public."<BR/><BR/>Even there Christian (yes I see the words kidding in there), but your point is not missed. Indies are dirty, you did deals, and would gladly have turned your back on the entire Access Party if they had not met your demands. Talk about loyalty and being an indie. That's a turncoat and an opportunist. <BR/><BR/>Christian,<BR/><BR/>Jamal was a good man, who was screwed by the system that had brought him up. He caught lightening in a bottle with his campaign. Something that truly had many, many things going for it. Did a developed group of indies help him win after a long series of losses? Yes! Do I fault people for backing Pants. No. <BR/><BR/>Some people have the absolute right to back people they see as being able to do a good job. I don't think SG or the UF student body is going to fall apart if Bruce wins. I don't think it's going to fall apart if Ryan wins either. I do think that the more rhetoric there is about "how s/he is not a nice guy/gal and they do this bad thing and that bad thing" without sitting and looking at why do they such a thing is wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-75404042986485699022007-02-12T22:05:00.000-05:002007-02-12T22:05:00.000-05:00Will: I'd be interested to know what those other r...Will: I'd be interested to know what those other reasons are that took the turncoats to the Gator party.

I, and many of my peers, have busted my ass to put on great programming for ALL students. I have sat through both cabinet and senate meetings to give student issues a voice, especially when dealing with SUCH a hostile administration. <BR/><BR/>I would just love for you to give me a SINGLE name of someone who has tried to get involved and been shown the door. I had no name, I had no house when I started, and the same people that you are blindly criticizing today listened to me, encouraged me, and got me involved. <BR/><BR/>Don't tell me there is a glass ceiling when there is IRHA, multicultural community, greek houses, FLC, Rec Sports, Reitz Union and DOZENS of other opportunities to be heard. Look at the composition of any of these groups and you will see diversity and outstanding leadership. <BR/><BR/>And I'm posting this anonymously because we all saw how much respect you gave Ashley when she included her name (Ashley, btw, you are AMAZING and do so much for RYMAC and your consituents in senate, don't let Christian or anyone else tell you otherwise).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998306.post-44101942136944895392007-02-12T21:13:00.000-05:002007-02-12T21:13:00.000-05:00Accent to Sigma Kappa?

Deal is not a bad word, get off your Billy Graham rockers and realize you are in politics and just because Dennis Ngin found Jesus in a glass of Ice Tea and decided deals were not the way politics were supposed to be done at UF doesn't mean you have to. Go to TEP and offer them Pro Tem, go to Sigma Kappa and offer them Accent, if the president of the Swedish Club and can get you Swedish support at UF in exchange for your backing him in the upcoming Nigerian Student Union presidential election, give it to him, you need to get some votes!"<BR/><BR/>That sounds like a pretty ringing endorsement of deals no matter what party...
