Name a fictional character who was probably a Democrat

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

to balance out the other thread

[Longgrain]

1. H.R. Pufnstuf

Mayor of Living Island...very pro-enviromentalist, supporters of the poor, maintained a strong police force...

[ZenLefty]

2. Daria

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

3. Indiana Jones

dunno why-just a feeling

archeologist, taught kids about other cultures, faught facists...i don't know

[Downtown Hound]

46. Most definitely

Remember, "Nazis, I hate these guys!"

He was definitely smart enough to recognize the parallels between Hitlerism and the modern right.

Also, after what happened to the Ark, I doubt he has any great love of the U.S. Government when it abuses its power, as it is doing now.

[Bunny]

4. George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life.

Now Mr. Potter? I bet we can all guess his political persuasion!!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. Mr. Incredible

Was a moderate Republican. Became a yellow-dog Dem after working at the insurance company.

Edit: don't YOU wish you could THAT to the freepers at work?

[XNASA]

6. Jesus

[Coastie for Truth]

7. Some of the Biblical characters

certainly Jesus and Moses were Progressive Democrats (altho I think Father In Law Jethro tried to make Moses into a Repug - or at least an Eisenhower type CEO, read Exodus XVIII, Verses 18-27 -- right out of a management book).


PS - I regard thee figures as fictional - allegorical.

[Crankie Avalon]

8. The Ant...

...that was responsible and did its part as a member of a reasonable ant society by preparing and saving for tough times ahead, whereas the Republican Grasshopper only cared about itself and its own fleeting luxury so it pissed the future away and ran up massive budget deficits.

9. Jefferson Smith

In Mr. Smith goes to Washington!

[jimquilty]

10. Willy Wonka

very far left wing of the party

[fishwax]

17. I dunno

lovable, but also a wealthy industrialist with obvious labor issues who ruled his empire with absolute authority.

[jimquilty]

27. labor issues?

come on the Umpa Lumpas had great gigs, and they didn't even need to apply for work visas when they fled persecution to come and work with Wonka. And how many "wealthy industrialists" give away their fortune to a kid and his impoverished family?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

32. and he was played by gene wilder, dammit!

that makes him cool automatically

[jimquilty]

33. yeah - but

he is going to be played by Johnny Depp in the remake so that argument is a wash

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

35. depp's cool, too

though the remake is pointless-it is by tim burton and also stard crhistopher lee a.k.a. god, which is enough for me

[fishwax]

39. The Umpa Lumpas were slave labor

they got paid in chocolate. They had no economic opportunity and weren't allowed to leave the factory.

Giving the factory to the poor kid was a nice touch, but he had no heir of his own and so wanted to make sure the autocracy wound up in the hands of one who would run it "his way" and "take care" of the oompah loompahs.

On a serious note, in the original published version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the OLs were clearly African pygmies, which brought accusations of racism. Roald Dahl said that, while he didn't conceive of them in that manner, he found himself agreeing with the critics when exposed to their perspective, and so later editions carried revised illustrations and the movie had the oompah loompahs made up to be clearly fantastical.

[Southsideirish]

11. Lew Archer. Sam Spade and Jim Qwilleran.

[yellowdogintexas]

52. DEFINITELY Jim Quilleran

probably YumYum & KoKO too

[Shananigans]

12. Fred Flinstone...

A working man.

[bearfan454]

13. Mighty Mouse

Here I come to save the day.

[Az]

14. Dumbledore

[Az]

15. Dr Who

[Az]

16. Blake (of Blakes Seven) heck he would be a Dem Senator with a spine

[Rowdyboy]

18. Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John and BJ Hunnicutt

[Stop_the_War]

19. Jesus

[Feathered Fish]

20. Atticus Finch

[Kathy in Cambridge]

28. That's the first character who popped into my head too

except at that time in the South, he was probably a Republican (Dems were the racist ones back then).

[Feathered Fish]

34. hmmm - interesting

I don't know much about the south at that period of time. I'm one of your northern neighbours. :)

[snacker]

62. First one I thought of too.

[Stop_the_War]

21. Gandalf

[Ryano42]

22. Dr. McCoy

Passionate, intelligent, humanistic but also spiritual...and loves a good debate! :)

[Stop_the_War]

23. Harry Potter

[Longgrain]

24. The Partridge Family

with the exception of Danny who was obviously a young Republican in the making.

[Az]

25. Underdog

[Az]

26. Luffy D Monkey

[CO Liberal]

29. Atticus Finch

The lawyer in "To Kill a Mockingbird".

[Az]

30. Vash the Stampede

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

31. lisa simpson, when she gets older

though she might be more of an independent progressive than a party member

[Radical Activist]

38. Lisa might be a Green

at the rate she is going she might be too radical for the Democrats. She's only 8 and she's already living in trees and eating vegetarian. Lisa is awesome.

[Solon]

36. Mr. Scrooge...

AFTER he was visited by the Christmas Ghosts, before that he was a Republican, born and bred.

[Radical Activist]

37. Mr Ranger from Yogi the Bear

I don't remember the Ranger's name. Sure, he always gave orders to Yogi but he was a caring Park Ranger so he must have been a Democrat. I'm sure Yogi was a Dem too.

[Book Lover]

40. Kirk

Spock too, probably. McCoy, definitely.

[ContraBass Black]

55. Wasn't Kirk a hard-line militarist? n/t

[Book Lover]

65. No

The only thing hard-line about Kirk was his sense of gender roles. He frequently sought the non-violent scenario (Corbomite Maneuver, Mirror Mirror, Arena)

[Az]

41. SpongeBob Squarepants

[PassingFair]

42. Adam Bede

Mr. Micawber
Mr. Fezziwig
Sam Weller
Neo in the Matrix
Larry in the Razor's Edge

[Phentex]

43. the Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe.

[jmowreader]

67. The Little Old Lady who lived in a shoe was a Republican

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do
She gave them some broth without any bread
She whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed

Let's see here...staunch opposition to birth control, stinginess, child abuse. (We have no indication that the children did anything to justify corporal punishment.)

Definitely a Republican.

[Az]

44. Captain Picard

[Longgrain]

45. Hummmm

Interesting observation. How did you come to this conclusion?

[donheld]

63. The Prime Directive was a very Democrat kind of thing

IMHO

[alarimer]

47. Tom Joad

Although I guess he might have been a socialist.

[CornField]

48. Thundercats -- HO!

[bigwillq]

49. Murphy Brown!

I love her!

[SmileyBoy]

58. Murphy Brown was "definitely" a Democrat, not "probably".

If you watch the episodes, you'd know that sometimes they explicitly say that she's a liberal Democrat.

[bigwillq]

64. I know Murphy is definitely on our side!

I just wanted to add her to the list cause I love her!

[Allenberg]

50. Robin Hood

:D

[Downtown Hound]

51. Superman

also, Ripley from the Alien movies.

[Arkana]

53. Raven of the Teen Titans

Yes, it's a cartoon. Yes, they're teen superheroes. Raven would be a liberal.

[yellowdogintexas]

54. Bob Cratchitt from "A Christmas Carol" and the gentlemen who

came to collect charity from him that he threw out the door, and his
nephew, probably.

Huey Dewey and Louie

Gyro Gearloose

Bugs Bunny

Jo from "Little Women"

Edith Bunker, Gloria and the Meathead, and cousin Maude

Rhoda

Mary Richards, and probably Lou Grant

Stephanie, Miranda, and Carrie. Not too sure about Charlotte, but bet Harry is.

Amy Gray of Judging Amy

Stephanie Plum ace bailbondswoman and spectacular klutz

Alex Cross

geez, this is fun, I am just looking at my bookshelves, thinking about all the characters ....

The secretary in "The Firm" (Played by Holly Hunter) who helps the Tom Cruise character get the goods on the law firm

OK, I am about out of ideas

[ContraBass Black]

56. Ender, Jadzia Dax, Kathryn Janeway, Deanna Troi, Guinan

[General Zod]

57. Buckaroo Banzai

[SmileyBoy]

59. Diane from Cheers

[SmileyBoy]

60. Lois from Family Guy

Even though she was raised a right-wing rich person.

[SmileyBoy]

61. Frylock from ATHF

[sakabatou]

66. Wonder Woman

Hawk Girl and Green Latern
