Is Hank Hill a Democrat or Republican?

[rockydem]

'King of the Hill' is a great and funny show, but I don't see it as often as I wish I could.

I would say Hank is a repuke-leaning swing voter. He may have voted for * in 2000, but he would be having doubts about it now, and could be thinkin' about voting for that 'wind-surfing yankee from Massachusetts'.....

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. He's a Republican through and through...

At least in my opinion.

[Worst Username Ever]

2. Definetely repug

Beer drinking, truck driving, blue collar, good ole boy dumbass who feels awkward hugging his own son.

[Chico Man]

3. Sounds like my dad (no offense taken)

Dem through and through

[rockydem]

4. there's Dems in red states, and blue states, who are like that too

And he's not a dumbass - he's actually a good guy who cares about his family....

What's wrong with you?

[Worst Username Ever]

7. "he's actually a good guy who cares about his family"

No, he's actually a cartoon. Get over it.

[Chico Man]

10. Just don't rank on the Beer drinking, truck driving, blue collar, good ole

boy dumbass's..

Some of them do care about their family even if they don't feel comfortable hugging their son..

And they may also be dem.

14. Thats great. My answer is still that Hank Hill portrays a republican.

[Chico Man]

15. Most republicans I know are not

Beer drinking, truck driving, blue collar, good ole boy dumbass

In fact, that is a pretty lame stereotype that I would be ashamed to use.

Need more evidence than that.

[Worst Username Ever]

18. No, but most

Beer drinking, truck driving, blue collar, good ole boy dumbasses are republican.

[Chico Man]

21. "Dumbass" union workers included?

Drop the stereotypes. It's really rude.

[Worst Username Ever]

23. Ha! Union or not, his character still fits the profile of a republican.

[Chico Man]

25. Your understanding of the republican profile is greatly warped

Please educate yourself.

Most "Beer drinking, truck driving, blue collar, good ole boy dumbass'" don't even vote.

[Worst Username Ever]

28. And your understanding of grammar is greatly warped.

"dumbass's"


Funny.

[Chico Man]

30. We need a place for the grammar attackers

How about www.grammarunderground.com?

Go ahead and debate grammar all day over there. It only exposes the fact that you have nothing else to say regarding the original topic.

I'll edit my topic, thanks for being my "proofreader".

[Worst Username Ever]

31. Please do! And thanks for your time.

[LoZoccolo]

17. And you're a Volvo-driving, latte-drinking blah blah...

:boring:

[Worst Username Ever]

20. Sure am.

[Chico Man]

22. Also sound like a snob

:)

On edit: see post 19.

See what stereotypes get you?

[Worst Username Ever]

24. Yep, I'm that too!

[Chico Man]

27. Cool, be proud of that

5. Hank is definitely a Republican.

I don't think he's having any doubts about voting for * again. I don't think anybody in Arlen is having any doubts. Maybe John Red Cloud, just maybe though.

on edit: Oh, yeah, the female preacher from Minnesota is probably not gonn'a vote for *.

[Fenris]

6. Hank Hill: Methodist, Republican, All-American.

:7

[bunkerbuster1]

13. He was born in New York City, though.

That might make it a tad easier to cast a JFK vote.

[htuttle]

8. It would depend on the candidate's positions on propane...

...and propane accessories.

[disgruntled_goat]

11. hehe. i can hear his voice

read your post.

"sweet lady propane!" (swells with pride)

[BoX o BooX]

9. Definitely Repug.

On Ronald Reagan: "I miss voting for that man."

[Bluebear]

12. A bandwagon Republican.

Just because that's what he's always voted.

[slutticus]

16. LOL

I never really thought about it...but my gut instinct tells me repub.


Although Hank Hill does despise Mega-lo Mart. This could be a good sign.

He also named his dog "Ladybird". I guess you could speculate a lot on the motivations of that.

[Syrinx]

19. didn't you see the one with W?

Hank was a Bush man, until he got shake his hand. Bush had a "limp handshake." That turned Hank against him. It was a great episode. Episode 85, Oct. 1, 2000.

October 1, 2000: Perils of Polling:
Bobby's act of heroism leads the Hills to a meeting with candidate George Dub-Ya, who turns Hank's vote from sure to tentative with the shake of a hand.

[Howardx]

26. that episode ruled

n/t

[rockydem]

34. nice

I don't see Hank as a 'bandwagon' republican - he would be thinking about voting for Kerry this time around...

[7th_Sephiroth]

29. hank cant be called a hypocrite

he does stick to propane, he doesent lie either, allthough he does threaten to kick peoples ass alot, i think mike judge might turn hank a little more libural in the next season

[indigobusiness]

32. He would like to vote Republican, if he could bring himself to...

but his moral compass gets in his way and he can't help but do the right thing. Being the left thing, in this case.

This is a basic subtext to the entire show.

[helnwhls]

33. but at the end of a recent show

there was a little PSA of hank and bobby standing in the garge. Hank encouraged people to vote and said something about changing who was in the white house. It sounded like a very Hank way of saying 'get bush out".

[SmileyBoy]

35. Old-school Paleoconservative Republican.

Nuff said.

[redqueen]

36. I don't know

but I love the band that did the theme song to that show!
