Characters in movies you suspect are Republicans

[SemiCharmedQuark]

This thread is for characters in movies that you suspect are Republicans even though they don't explicitly say they are. I'll start.

The kid from deliverance has GOT to be a Republican. Hell, he even looks a little like "Dubya"

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Damn

That is the second coolest "...has a posse" bootleg I've ever seen. (The Bill O'Reilly one I made being the best.)

[ghostsofgiants]

4. As for Republican characters...

Jeffrey Lebowski I would suspect.
The military guy (I forget his name) in American Beauty.
Ed Rooney, the principal from Feris Bueller's Day Off.

I dunno, I'll try to think of others.

[stanwyck]

18. HaHaHa

Jeffrey Lebowski. A hilarious caricature of a Republican. He even had a trophy wife. Now, "The Dude"...if he bothered to vote, and I'm dubious, well, The Dude is one of us. The Dude abides. And Donny. May he rest in peace.

[ghostsofgiants]

45. But...

What about Walter?

[stanwyck]

53. OK, I'll have

concede Walter to Ralph Nader or Harry Browne or someone on a third party who I don't know. Maybe he writes in his own name?

[baldguy]

37. Ed Rooney

[SemiCharmedQuark]

11. Excellent list, I salute you

:hi:

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. Mr. Potter in "It's a Wonderful Life"

Dick Cheney is a dead ringer for Mr. Potter. (God, I hope I don't get Patriot Acted for that idiom.)

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. All the locals in Deliverance.

[PittPoliSci]

west virginia has about a 5 to 1 democrat to republican ratio.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Right wing killing machine.

27. Frank Booth, "Blue Velvet"

A combination of Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, and Colter wrapped up into one character.

[peekaloo]

28. Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey's characters in 'Seven'

Spacey was a Roy Moore fundie with too much money and spare time on his hands while Pitt believed his own macho bullshit to the detriment of his family's well being. Both were driven insane by their own devices. :P

[punpirate]

29. A bunch...

... and none of them all that nice:

Mr. Potter in "It's a Wonderful Life."

The sheriff's deputies in "Easy Rider."

The grocery store owner (and probably Bud, too) in "Repo Man."
(Nah, on second thought, Bud's definitely a Libertarian.)

Big Daddy in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

Prof. Jerry Hathaway in "Real Genius."

Gen. Jack D. Ripper in "Dr. Strangelove." (Certainly, Gen. Turgidson, too. Ripper is real right-wing, Turgidson is one of the moderates.)

George Fox in "Starman."

Pauline Axelrod in "Salvador."

Howard Roark in "The Fountainhead."

Milo Minderbinder and Arfy Aardvark in "Catch-22." (Honorable mention to Cols. Cathcart and Korn.)

Many more....

[SemiCharmedQuark]

42. Roark...

Wouldn't he be more libertarian?

[punpirate]

43. Yeah, but look how many Repugs have...

... embraced Ayn Rand today.

Plus, hazard a guess how many right-leaning Repug women would not get warm and runny during the scene with Roark and the jackhammer? :wow:

Cheers.

[phaseolus]

30. No one's mentioned Gordon Gekko??

Or Blake (Alec Baldwin's character) in Glengarry, Glen Ross? Two obvious ones.

any villain in any Costa-Gavras film

36. Sherriff Buford T. Justice from Smokey and the Bandit

Agent Smith The Matrix

[nuxvomica]

58. What about Boss Jim Gettys?

Who ruined Kane's political career with a sex scandal so that his machine could continue bilking the public. He sounds more like a Republican.

Gozer the Gozerarian - Ghostbusters
Rob Lowe's character from Wayne's World
