humble proposals for simpsons-related political epithets

For some reason the punditocracy just loves labels to broadly generalize groups of people - soccer moms, NASCAR dads, "South Park Republicans", Ned Lamont Democrats - and even entire states (that whole red state, blue state nonsense). As long as there are labels (and there always will be), they should at least be entertaining. If "South Park Republican" can catch on, then surely there's room for Simpsons labels.

Helen Lovejoy Democrat
Oh won't somebody PLEASE think of the CHILDREN
Examples - Hillary Clinton, Joseph Lieberman

Marge Simpson Nanny-Stater
Marge wanted to close down the boudoir, ban all sugar in Springfield, and take out out all violence in Itchy & Scratchy. What's her problem, man?!

Bart Simpson Republican
"I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything."
Tom DeLay, Bob Ney

Grampa Simpson Demographic
I'm old, gimme gimme gimme!

Smithers Republican
Willing to go along with the Republican party line until it crosses an ethical line (like stealing candy from a baby) or "conflict[s] with [their] choice of lifestyle."
Andrew Sullivan, Mary Cheney, Log Cabin Republicans

Cletus Demographic
Hey ma, the gays are gettin' married!

Quimby Democrat
Corrupt, womanizing and unethical, but somehow keeps getting re-elected
President Clinton, Ted Kennedy

McBain Republican
"How do you sleep at night?" "With supermodels on top of big piles of money."
Governor Schwarzenegger... that's pretty much it

Scratchy Demographic
Keeps voting against their own interests. That mouse is not your friend!

Comic Book Guy Democrat
Cynical yet loyal, partisan critics who think everybody's stupid but them. "Rest assured I was on the Internet within minutes, registering my disgust with the rest of the world."
Daily Kos, Americablog, left-wing bloggers

The One-Armed Guy Neo-Conservative
Remember that guy? How he helped orchestrate a giant war to take out Nelson Muntz? Did he really give a shit about Nelson and the general well-fare of Springfield's children, or did he just want a war? Most definitely the latter.
Vice President Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld
