How would your favorite literary characters vote in the 2004 election?
Hermione Granger: John Kerry.
Hermione has the labor background (SPEW), minority credentials (mudblood), and a sense of ivory tower intellectualism we Democrats love so much. ("Hermione, ARE you a witch or AREN'T you?")
Lord Vordemort: John Kerry.
Lord Vordemort is a big fan of Bush's proposed constituional ban against gay marriages. Today gays, tomorrow mudloods! However, the Dark Lord is an even bigger fan of stem cell research. With further research, he-who-must-not-be-named hopes to beat out that pesky disease called mortality.
Harry Potter: George Bush.
Both lived in their father's shadow, both have a healthy disregard for the rules, both were mercilessly ridiculed by the press, both warned of the coming of the dark lord, and both have tendencies to speak in parseltongue.

I have a bigger problem with the age thing...Harry and Hermione are nowhere near the voting age requirement. They can't even legally drive yet!
As for Voldemort, wasn't he legally dead for about 10 years? I imagine that's a lot of government paperwork just so he could get his bank account open to him, let alone voting.

Have you noticed how these two are always in an "undisclosed location" when trouble strikes? Like Cheney, Dumbledore mentors teenagers and acts as the real power behind the government. While Cheney is proud of his lesbian daughter, Dumbledore is somewhat ambivalent regarding his brother Aberforth.

I don't know - Hermione is willing to expand the definition of "persons" entitled to protection of the law. Sounds like she'd be anti-embryonic-stem cell research, too.

And of course all of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army were in favor of preemptive action in the face of disapproval from "higher" authority. Posts: 26071 | Registered: Oct 2003

And Fudge did send an "inspector" to Hogwarts whose real goal was to cover up the danger of Voldemort.

Fudge would vote for Bush. Something tells me he'd be against Homomagisexual Marriage. I find him willing to overlook the mistakes in Iraq as a natural order of things.

You know I bet you could look at this thread and figure out who is voting for who just by seeing which characters they have vote for which person.
If they have the characters people generally like vote for candidate A, and the characters people don't generally like vote for B then they are probably for A and vica versa. Won't hold completely true but there is a trend Posts: 3295 | Registered: Jun 2004

Sauron would definately go Bush, look how much they have in common!
Galadriel, Elrond, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam and Legolas would go Kerry. They are all for peace and for the enviroment.

They didn't plan to invade it, just to sneak in and destory its one weapon of mass destruction. The invation came later as a last ditch effort. And they only went after the WMD was proven to exist... it fell in their lap, Posts: 3295 | Registered: Jun 2004

Yes but she was a major major supporter of the environment and conservation. Just look what she did for Lothlorien! The complete oposite of "drill in national parks and nature preserves" Bush.

No, she was mostly just for keeping her realm beautiful and clean. As far as she cared, if it was in somebody else's yard, they could go hang.

She also bought the Fellowship gifts to aid them in their quest to destroy Sauron, and invade middle earth. Bush.

I would assume that he would want a leader thats too distracted to attack the real enemies with actual weapons.

Alice, from Alice in Wonderland, would vote Bush. She has an affinity for made-up words, or seems to, anyhow.

I think Sam is in denial though. I mean, he did get married and all. He strikes me as one of those Gay Republicans.

Bush's tax policy does have a Mad Hatter quality to it. Economy good? Cut taxes. Economy bad? Cut taxes. Up is down. Goodbye I must be staying. (God I loved that Doonesbury strip).
Aragorn: Bush

Alcon, you're not helping your case here any, when you claim that the statements in this thread reflect peoples' true feelings about the election candidates! Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

I would think that if Sauron was a foreigner, he'd prefer Kerry. Bilateral talks as opposed to forceful action.
Due to last elections problems, one must assume that Merry and Pippen would live in Florida, and remain undecided until a candidate proposes a food plan. Bilbo would vote Kerry. Rosie would vote for Bush, if only to assure that Sam is hers. Grima Wormtongue, a smooth talker from the North, would vote Kerry. Gollum, who is ever the 3rd party, could vote for Nader. However, since he is a fan of Riddles, he just might be swung towards Bush. The Nazgul, 9 men who live together after being corrupted by rings, would vote Kerry. Saruman would vote Bush, if only because he prefers to outwit those in power. Legolas and Gimli would so vote Kerry.
Darth Vader doesn't care about politicians. Whoever is elected will serve the Empire, or be crushed. He is however leaning to Bush's space program to go to Mars. Planetary conquest is one of his ambitions. Jar Jar Binx would vote for Bush because "He speaka meesa language!" Luke Skywalker would vote Bush, on the impatient, take control of the situation attackness. Obi-wan, who has a problem of living in the past, would vote for Bush Senior. Yoda and Bush would just confuse the hell out of each other. Yoda also is a strong advocate that fear is the path to the dark side- fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Not liking the current situation, he would vote for Kerry. Princess Leia would vote for Bush, as would Han Solo after being threatened that he wouldn't be getting any if he didn't. Boba-Fett would vote for Kerry. Jabba the Hutt would vote for Bush, due to his ties to the Saudi-Arabian family.
Peter Pan would vote for Kerry. He never was a fan of Bush's "No Child Left Behind."
