Could be read two ways: "I'll bet you this. If Mary Poppins and Dick Tracy vote on Election Day, they'll vote for John Kerry."

But who will get Lex Luthor's vote?

I do wonder about my interpretations of characters' political views. I always thought Scully was a Republican and Mulder didn't vote. In Smallville, I'm guessing almost everyone's registered Republican, though I wouldn't be surprised if Lex thinks he would have voted for Perot and McCain if given the chance. What do you all think? Is Martha a closet pinko? (Skip obvious Lana joke.)

Mmm, yes, but I've always thought the Kents were Democrats. They are, after all, farmers, and farmers do get quite a bit of government help.

I may be wrong here, though. Hmm.

i sometimes wonder whether the writers and we, of course, do not tilt the characters to the left...but yes, i think the kents might just vote republican for their supposed "american values"...then again, that same moral BS might drive Lex to the left...

I just read a wonderful article in a German magazine where they interviewed this physician in the heartland who talked about the way he agrees with so much of thre republican's platform yet the war alone will make him vote for kerry...have elections always been this single issue outweighs everything???

hee heee... butting in at random


sorry... i realize this is supposed to be a semi-serious (at least) post.. but i just happened to be reading the 2nd paragraph of this clex fic by [livejournal.com profile] muse_attack (http://muses.amiss.org/politics.html), and i checked my flist, and saw your post. XD

Chloe would work for Kerry, even if Gabe votes Republican -- though he might be a sekrit Democrat.

Martha is voting for Kerry (abortion, also the draft), but she's not going to tell Jonathan because she doesn't want to get him all riled up.

Lex might well give money to everybody, then vote Libertarian. He might (at one point, anyway) have supported the Dems just to distinguish himself from Lionel, who is a *major* Republican contributor.

My speculation got kind of wordy, so I turned it into a post (http://www.livejournal.com/users/amyth71/41701.html#cutid1).

Scully used to be a Republican, and she's now not entirely sure that she's a *Democrat,* but she's voting for Kerry this year, partially in protest of the war, and partially because she feels betrayed and abandoned by her party, which was once the rock-ribbed, Dwight D. Eisenhower party of fiscal restraint and sober meritocracy, but has now become a dismal stew of anti-intellectualism, religious triumphalism (Catholics, btw, often not a fan of the New Right, knowing full well that Catholics fall low on the list of Bad Things from a fundamentalist POV nowadays, but still *on* the list nonetheless), bad education policy, gutted international intelligence community, and gobs and gobs of money funneled into big oil and energy companies. Also, the anti-intellectualism, did I mention that? Scully *hates* that. (Also, someone who authorized taking her own child off life support because she "wasn't meant to be" is pretty profoundly canonically pro-choice and right-to-die.)

She's still not just real crazy about the Democrats, who strike her as pretty loony and not too good at getting things done, but she's far too practical to throw a vote away on some harebrained third-party candidate just to make a statement. That kind of thing is so...*Mulder.*

I live in Texas. Although I'm no farmer, most if not all farmers in Tx are Republican. Government subsidies are a number one reason. Actually, most in this state are Republican.

I could see Lex as a Southern Democrat.
