On Wednesday, Student Sen. Jim Martz alleged that the Gator Party does not enlist all of its support from within the Greek community. On this count he is correct. However, Martz also alleged the Gator Party stands for "service" and "tangible results." He seems to be forgetting the Gator Party's long-standing tradition of incompetence, corruption and nepotism.
This is a party that continues to stand with UF President Bernie Machen and the administration in their attempt to regulate legal consumption of alcohol by UF students.
When Student Body Treasurer and Gator Party member Paul Drayton faced the choice between serving the students or taking an internship in New York this summer, he chose to serve himself.
The contrast this election season between the Orange and Blue Party and the Gator Party could not be clearer. The Gator Party seeks to represent an overreaching university administration and perpetuate its own hold on power, while the Orange and Blue Party pledges to continue fighting for the students.
The choice is simple. Vote to end the sleaze in Student Government. Vote Orange and Blue.
