Who would Star Trek characters vote for?

[7,052,770]

Any ideas for any character, minor or major, on any series?
A few:
Kirk--Bush
Picard--Kerry

[J-Mann]

Bush supporters: Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Chekov (TOS); Riker, Worf, Yar (TNG); Sisko, Kira, Dax, O'Brian, Garak, Odo, Quark (DS9); Chakotay, Seven, Tuvok, Paris (VOY).

Kerry supporters: Spock, Sulu, Uhura (TOS); Picard, Troi, Crusher, Data, LaForge, Guinan (TNG); Bashir (DS9); Janeway, Kim, The Doctor, Kes (VOY).

I'm not familiar enough with the newest series to make any judgements on it, but they're all kind of "cowboy-ish" characters.

If it were up to the Trek characters, I'd guess the final tally would be Bush: 18, Kerry: 14.  DS9 is certainly the most "conservative" series of the whole bunch.

Picard would be voting for Lionel Jospin.

[Horus]

Quark would vote Badnarik

[J-Mann]

Ya know, I tried to keep it to the two major candidates to make it a bit easier.

Quark would vote Badnarik

Quark would not waste his vote on a candidate who will not win.

I agree with the majority of that, as far as series go.  VOY or TNG take the cake for liberalism.  I don't know which, but VOY was certainly more "politically correct."

Quark would vote Badnarik

Quark would vote for whoever paid him the most.

Nope.  He would vote for whoever was most beneficial to him in the long term and had the best chance of winning.  Badnarik fails the second part of the test.  Bush passes both.

While he would certainly take a bribe, likely some illegal drug from a local supporter of Kerry, he would not follow through thanks to the wonders of secret balloting.

Picard would be voting for Lionel Jospin.

In real life, Patrick Stewart is a big Labour Party doner

[cwelsch]

The Borg would vote Democratic.

Dorks.

Now here's a topic! Prediction at the bottom. My thoughts on the shows, first.

DS9 was "with the times" - economically conservative but very liberal socially; the most socially liberal ST show.

VOY was very right wing - Janeway was always blasting her way out of pretty much every situation, they "Americanized" the Hirogen with transporter technology, ignored the Prime Directive when it suited them, defeated the Borg pretty much on their own, the Delta quadrant is full of b*tches and bastards, Janeway was quick to end negotiations and start shooting - a very hawkish show and quite economically conservative, more so than DS9. As far as social issues went, the show was basically without lectures (the only Trek to be basically without lectures). Yes, it made statements on occasion and the statement that women can lead, but I hardly call that radical or even PC. Janeway freqently relied on Chakotay for her emotional support. The doctor and some others teaching Seven "how to be a lady." Mulgrew's boyfriend married a woman with whom he "worked." Since when do people work in the 24th century? as TNG established, they lied around in the grass looking up at the clouds. I think with STV we're on the right side of the spectrum, and that's one reason why Mulgrew hated the show.

TNG - liberal tech-based commune militarized. These are serious borderline space hippies, folks, not the funny, dope smoking kind. Technology has replaced the need to work, so we're all philosophers now. Roddenberry had a unique utopian vision of man. People would be pillaging and going crazy if they didn't have to do anything, come on.

TOS - well, TOS is just awesome. Different times.

That said, VOY cast would mostly vote Bush with some Kerry; DS9 would be divided and heated and would be a mix of Bush and Kerry, a 48-48 tie, but Garak/Quark would rig the machines for Bush - and Odo would catch them, then a lawsuit, then odo would have a memory lapse about a rigged elction during the occupation...; TNG would all vote Kerry or Nader, and TOS would be lean Bush but would have the highest numbers of undecideds with the exception of Spock, who would not vote for any candidate not grounded in logic!

Hmm. How this show has impacted our culture.

I'm surprised that everyone isn't saying that Spock and Data would vote for their candidate; since they were always logical, I would assume that almost everyone here would think they would be on their own side.
