[edit] Characters who endorsed a Republican candidate
- Charles Montgomery Burns (Mr. Burns) from The Simpsons - As Chair of the Springfield Republican Party, Mr. Burns has frequently attended its meetings and endorsed Republican candidate for mayor, Sideshow Bob Terwilliger. He also ran for governor, presumably as a GOP candidate.
- Red Forman from That '70s Show - Forced his son Eric Forman to say "Nixon was framed and Kennedy was commie." In another episode, Red said, "You know who I like?" and Eric responded by saying "Nixon?" However, even though Red endorsed Nixon in those episodes, in the episode Streaking (That '70s Show), Red was angry at Gerald Ford and said to him at Ford's rally, "How the hell could you pardon Nixon?"

Although he also referred to George W. Bush as "Commander Cookoo Bananas" and beat up both President Bushes (though Homer beat up George H. W. Bush due to a personal conflict and not due to politics, but he did demand Bush apologize for "the tax hike"). He also has strong labor union ties. It is possible he is an anti-Bush Republican or has switched parties, or, perhaps most likely, is too stupid to have a logical political ideology.
