So, not Adam Sutter, Emanuel Goldstein, Cornelius Snow, or anything, basically? Or were you more referring to those many movies and TV shows with fictional Presidents and other leaders in otherwise realistic stories (more or less)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then don't use them. Were they historical politicians or are they current politicians in real-world earth, born of terrestrial human parents? Then you can use them?

Foreign Policy/Military - Dennis Kucinich 4. Misc. Values - Bill Weld Bill Weld captures my view that a politician must put country first, and he embodies my opinion that bipartisanship is more important than stubbornly sticking to an ideology. I am Left-Wing to Far-Left-Wing, but I also know that most Americans are one of many other views. As such, it is un-Democratic to force my views when the majority of the country could oppose them. My goal would be to encourage, convince, or otherwise win the public to my views to make them a majority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Norsefire Chancellor of the Fascist Britain in, "V for Vendetta," the dissident from, and critic within, the Inner Party who is the subject of the "Three Minutes of Hate," everyday on Oceanian broadcasts, in "1984," (and is almost a certainly an allusion to Leon Trotsky), and the President of the Pan-Am Federation in the, "Hunger Games," respectively.

I'm not that familiar with Colorado Governors. The only two who come to mind were the People's, or Populist Party on in the late 1800's (the same party that cross-endorsed Jennings Bryan's Democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900), and the one who later (after leaving office as Governor) joined Perot's Reform Party and was one of only four or five people to try to make a Primary challenge against Perot in 1996, and the only of those who didn't drop out immediately, and who later tried to sue Perot for rigging his Primaries). Even then, I'd have to look up their actual names, as they don't spring to mind, immediately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, besides, how many "conservatives," today share his views in foreign and military affairs, I ask you? And I thought Goldwater was "Mr. Conservative." And he was also seriously considering nuking Hanoi, regardless of the bigger consequences. Hence, the "Daisy," attack ad by the Johnson campaign. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
