Political joke

[rivkat]

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.)

Fair enough! I admit I analyzed Scully's politics years ago, so the Republican thing could have changed as the Republicans changed.

Mulder would absolutely vote in a completely useless way, if he voted at all. I can see him denouncing participation as a sham and a delusion, complete with rant about the manipulability of electronic voting machines.

Of course, this raises the question whether they can even vote at all -- aren't they on the run waiting for the world to end? If they vote under assumed names, is that wrong?

Maybe they *are* Mary Poppins and Dick Tracy. Someone should really write that story.

You have a deeply disturbed mind. I like it.

I volunteer you for that story.
