Can we lose the "liberal-conservative" labels of Godfrey?[]
For one thing - without spoiling much (and honestly I don't know it for a fact myself), Godfrey's objectives are most certainly not "partisan" to any ideology on the right or the left.
For another, what's the justification for claiming he's one or the other just based on being against vigilantes? It's not like there's a lot of real-life experience to go by when making the assumption that he MUST be liberal or conservative.
Finally, the writers have done a DAMN fine job of keeping the show totally apolitical. And thats saying something given that one of the main characters is a hardcore liberal in the comics, and there have been several polticians featured on the show. Anyone have a clue what Party Martha Kent must be a member of? I have no idea, and I LIKE it that way! For the love of pete, folks, it's an election year. There are TONS of places to get your rocks off on politics besides Smallville. I understand my civic duty to be a well-informed voter, but frankly the political scene depresses me and I like a good escape from it whenever I get a chance, ya know? 4.154.36.195 02:23, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

it's not liberal views on vigilantes, i don't think. I see it as Godfrey Jones, who is working under Darkseid, as someone who is against vigilantes so that Darkseid can do whatever he is going to do.
Stop seeing the show as someone trying to force their political views through a television show and accept it as part of the show's script.
I agree, just because he's in radio doesn't make him conservative. It's true that many talk show hosts are conservative, but a the same time, many newspaper reporters are liberal. So does that automatically make Lois and Clark liberal? Yes there were hints of Lois being more liberal, but there isn't any proof of Clark being liberal or conservative.
